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!


March Madness

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.

MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@quspork, thank you. Have you tried MBD masks before? Iโ€™ve been finding the sheet  masks like this one that the brand released with places referenced in the name to work well for me.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I've use a couple like the black pearl and aloe and those have been pretty nice. I know MBD was all the rage at one point, but I was out of the loop originally so have to make up for it now haha! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

lol @quspork! I'm right there with you making up for lost time. I hopped on board the sheet mask train later in the Kbeauty glory days. I'd seen MBD masks when I heard or saw friends or friends of friends use them, but I wasn't there yet and, when I first started getting into sheet masks, I was really just all about Leaders, Tosowoong, Etude House and Mediheal for the most part.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi Great photo! Glad you enjoyed this mask!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Mellmars1185, thank you. I find that the MBD masks generally gives some good results. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

This photo is everything @itsfi !! the little chair, the orchid, the laneige pink lip sleeping mask ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿช‘๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ’„

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Skunk12puzzola, thank you. The mini Laneige comes in handy. I refill it whenever I work my way through it as itโ€™s more easily portable. And, it makes a lovely add-on to a masking session (and photo op). 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I thought I'd relax tonight with the Neutrogena hydrogel mask but I was a little disappointed in it, honestly.  It wasn't as hydrating as I might have expected and the mask--which came in two pieces--was entirely too huge for my face, making it slightly uncomfortable in some ways.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1  Aw thatโ€™s too bad:/.  Hydration is what neutrogena is known for so itโ€™s sad they dropped the ball on this one. 
Haha, Moschino Bear Mask Huge? 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface let's just say that there was enough mask to wrap around into my hair on the sides ๐Ÿ˜‚.  I mean, I appreciate a good hair mask but not quite like that...

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1  Ahhhhh, noooo, I hate it!! ๐Ÿ˜‚.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1 oh how disappointing that this was a mediocre mask for you. Thankfully it did not cause any irritation, though. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe yeah, it just wasn't that great.  Thankfully I really don't have a problem with sensitive skin so I never really even think about potential irritation, TBH.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1  Thatโ€™s a shame.  There you were all set to have a few moments of facial goodnessโ˜น๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Cissy63 it wasn't quite the relaxing moment I had in mind ๐Ÿ™„.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1 Sorry to hear about the dissapointing masking experience. Thank you for sharing!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Mellmars1185 oh well, it was worth trying.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CookieGirl1 I was disappointed in this one as well, however,,I have had this mask in a one piece lol and it was much better!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

It's a shame this one didn't work out, @CookieGirl1. Did the pieces slide around much on your face? That's always a concern for me with hydrogels. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@quspork They actually didn't slide too much; it's just that there was enough material (?) there for two faces, lol.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

For this weekโ€™s mask theme of food I offer Pumpkin ๐ŸŽƒ.  And it actually fits in with the letters too.  Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask.  Itโ€™s supposed to resurface skin with a combo of enzymes.  It exfoliates with Pumpkin enzyme, peels with alpha hydroxy acid and polishโ€™s with aluminum hydroxy acid. 

It says that it is good for dull, aging and congested complexions.  This pack has more than enough product to use at least 2 times.

 

To use you apply a thin layer with wet finger tips.  You polish in a circular motion to get the aluminum hydroxide powder in the skin.  You should leave it on for 3-7 minutes to allow the AHAโ€™s and enzyme time of work.

 

This is a pumpkin color grainy product.  It has a spicy scent that I really liked.  When applying it I felt a slight tingling feeling .   I left it on for about 4 minutes.  My skin is sensitive and I have rosacea.  So I was concerned about leaving it on longer.  Using a warm wet wash cloth I removed it.  I kept feeling like I had grains on my face .  So it took awhile for me to be as gentle as possible removing it.

 

My skin was looking like it reacts to it.  The rosacea was inflamed and other areaโ€™s looked

irritated.  It didnโ€™t feel smooth. I applied a brief version of my nighttime skin care regimen.

 

But the next morning my pores appeared clear and my skin was so soft.  The rosacea was calm and the other irritated areas are back to normal.  There was a total turnaround from the night before. 

I will try it again as there is more product in the pack.  But I will leave it on for 3 minutes next time.
