💕😌 Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

Spoiler

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💗

@sonnydeeI tried the Nourishing a Mask from this brand and it turned my skin red and itchy (guessing the culprit is the spirulina?) This one seems like worth a try. The color sounds similar to the KORA Organics Turmeric Brightening Pore Scrub + Exfoliating Mask 3.38 oz / 100 mL

[sonnydee]

yikes! 😬 @eshoe I do have some others from this line- 🤔 pomegranate & balancing. Gotta love ipsy

[eshoe]

I hope you share how it goes with the other ones, @sonnydee. I was pretty excited, it looked like it would be a good one!

[sonnydee]

Of course @eshoe 😉

[lmaster]

@sonnydee very interesting,,, I'd be willing to give it a try though 😆

[sonnydee]

thats the spirit!💛👏 @lmaster i got it in my ipsy bag one month but I have gotten others as well, maybe it'll come around again

[WinglessOne]

@sonnydee  Aw, I know some (okay, many) folk don't like the scent of turmeric, but I do. I'm glad you still got some good results from this mask! 

[sonnydee]

Well this mask definitely does turmeric justice! @WinglessOne I'm in the can stand it group. Not something I would want my deodorant or perfume to smell, like but i can deal with.

An Apricot and Papaya masking from last week. Fruity!

Oooh, apricot and papaya @eshoe. Makes me think of summer. Nice progress on the Origins mask. 👍🏼 

[eshoe]

Slow but steady, @itsfi ☺️ Happy Fourth to you!

[lmaster]

Love that you dueled the SF and Yttp @eshoe very good to know!!

[eshoe]

Thanks, @lmaster! I feel like there are so many that need to be paired up, especially as I am trying to whittle down the contents of my drawers. 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Good to know the Celavi mask turned out so nice! I've seen the brand around a lot and have been curious about it, so now I may have to pick something up next time I see it. 😉

Great duel! I have tried both of these, and while I prefer the YTTP, I can definitely see how the results from both would be similar.

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 I think the SF might be on its way out-I used it again last night, and it caused so much pilling. You know when you get a reallllly bad sunburn, and the skin peels? It was like that. I guess I will finish it by using it as a body cream🤷🏻‍♀️

A is for Airpacking

Spoiler

Mediheal Airpacking Mint Wrap

This is a thin, light green, two-piece foil mask. It was soaking with a clear watery serum and had a super light tea tree scent that wasn't too noticeable. As with most two-piece masks, this one fit very well and was very comfortable to wear. I had it on for about a half hour. When I removed it there was still quite a bit of serum left on my face that was just very slightly tacky. After massaging it in, it only took about 5 minutes for it to fully absorb. My face looked slightly brighter, my skin felt soft and smooth and the hydration was long lasting.

I enjoyed this one and will happily use the other one I have, though it wasn't stand-out enough to make me want to immediately run out and buy more.

I would pick this just for the color! I love Mint. Plus it feels great on the pores!

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I remember this one and the pink version being one of the first air wrapping masks I used. Do you have an air wrapping mask or masks that you’d consider a “must have” or favorite? 😉😃 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Sorry, somehow I missed this..... I really don't love foil masks, so I wouldn't consider any of them to be a "must-have," but I think my most favorite was the Peach Slices Lucky Cat's Gold Foil Mask 

[itsfi]

I remember that mask @Shosh85! 🐱 

[lmaster]

Wow this mask sounds perfect for any season @Shosh85
