[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@Cissy63 no doubt! I am a fan of the mega-mushroom line. The watery soothing treatment lotion is golden!

I am still working through my almost expired masks. I had to take a break since I had a really bad infection on my face. But I’m back at it. This was my next in my pile. I was pleasantly surprised it smelled and looked like a watermelon! I left it on 30 minutes and my face felt pretty moisturized. I did used Summer Fridays R + R Mask 2.25 oz/ 64 g  this morning so that could also be why. But I would definitely use this one again. The fit was a bit wonky. 

 

[lmaster]

@ather these were definitely decent!!

[ather]

@lmaster  I agree! 

[CookieGirl1]

@ather a watermelon-scented mask sounds fab!

[ather]

@CookieGirl1  It definitely is for a detox mask. Normally detox masks usually dry my skin out. 

[Cissy63]

@ather  I like that it had a watermelon scent! Results sound good.  Thanks for the information on Summer Fridays mask too😀

[Weetart]

@ather Still have yet to try Summer Fridays. Everyone always loves them! After the big declutter and many months of no-buy I have lots of empty shelf space...

[ather]

@Weetart  I really enjoy the entire SF line. The cleanser has been one of my favs lately. My skin doesn’t feel stripped or anything. The R + R is also amazing leaves my skin glowing!! 

[Weetart]

@ather fantastic! I will toss it in my cart.

[itsfi]

@ather, smart to take a break from masking to let your skin heal. Hope you are fully recovered; great to see you back! 😃 I love the Summer Fridays R + R mask. ♥️ One of my faves from the brand. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Thanks! It’s good to be back! I am now working on fading the scar. I was using the DDG mask every day and I believe it helps. Surprisingly the scar is very minimal for what I had. 

[itsfi]

@ather, that’s great that you only have minimal scaring. Are you using the blue light or red one (or both) on the DDG? (Good reminder that I need to work that back into a more regular presence in my routine this time of the year; thank you!)

[ather]

@itsfi  I’ve been using both. I try to use it every day but I’ve also been using a serum to help with dark spots and if I use it I can’t use the DDG unless I use it before. Sometimes I forget. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

Infection on the face? oh no!! sounds horrible, I'm sorry you had to deal with it @ather hope you will feel better soon 🙏🤞💕

[ather]

@Skunk12puzzola  Thanks. It’s been better for a little bit but I was being extra cautious so it didn’t come back. 

[Weetart]

Well. Been a while. Yesterday I wanted to post something to this thread and opened container after container of wash off masks and was horrified at a large portion of them. Wow what a declutter that was. 

Sooo. I have 7 l left. One is brand new, TonyMoly I’m Rice Clarifying Blemish Mask. It arrived a couple days ago in an Ulta box, you know one of those, “ooooh I must have clicked  purchase” moments.

For its price point, sure, why not! I have enjoyed other clarifying masks more, but its mild enough I could use daily and for those who hate scents. The scent is very neutral. 

Honestly I don’t need a clarifying mask because my prescription face wash solved that whole problem. But this is a mild mask and not drying. I cannot attest to its clarifying powers, but it was a pleasant experience.

 

[lmaster]

@Weetart sounds lovely!

[Cissy63]

@Weetart  Sounds like a potentially good mask.

[Weetart]

@Cissy63 I'd say it's good for the price point. I bet there are trial or sample sizes out there. (When will we be able to get free sample sizes from stores again already! Sigh.)

[itsfi]

@Weetart, so good to see you here! 😃  I think I may have a couple DS of thIs mask as part of an Ulta GWP. Good to know about the scent and that it’s not drying. Did you experience any other noticeable results from the mask, like brightening or hydrating?
