💕😌 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?

@erikarosenim Ohhhhh I've had this one on my list for some time now.  I just love the sound of the physical exfoliation here.  I could see myself easily over doing it with this one.  Is there a lovely scent to it?

[erikarosenim]

@missjeanie 

Ya know, I didn't think so but I just checked and there's a sorta fruit, tropical scent but it's super light.

[Shosh85]

@erikarosenim  Oh I've wondered about this one! Good to know your thoughts on it - it sounds great! 😃

[eshoe]

@erikarosenim isn’t it great to find a product that you enjoy using and your skin is happy with it, too? 💗

[erikarosenim]

@eshoe 

If my skin wasn't happy with it, I would not enjoy it. LOL

[lmaster]

@erikarosenim glad you love it!! Thanks for sharing your opinion 😊

[quspork]

This one is on my list to try at some point, @erikarosenim so I'm glad to hear that it is working out nicely for you! 

[itsfi]

@erikarosenim, this sounds like a good resurfacing treatment.

[heartsmyface]

@erikarosenim @Only needing it once a week doesn’t sound like a con to me!  Unless you love the masking process and accidentally overdo it.  Putting this one on my list , though I’m technically not supposed to buy more exfoliators til I have two empties in that category.

@erikarosenim 

This one sounds powerful but really good.

@erikarosenim @This one is really nice ! Glad you found something that works well for you!

So I tried creating my own extraordinary exfoliator. I used Foreo Imagination DIY Mask Base. I receieved this as a GWP from Shoppers Drug Mart.

I read that rolled outs can be used in a home made mask. After applying I noticed that the bits of oats were falling off my face! I ended up sitting for 15 min and just relaxing while the mask did its thing. The base was nice and nourishing on my skin and did not irritate it. The oats did not really seem like a good exfoliator, except for maybe when I wiped the mask off. Anyways this was an interesting experience!

@Mellmars1185 Have you tried a coffee grinder for the oatmeal?  I used to try to DIY a lot more and found that once it was pulsed to a powder it was quite lovely. 

[Mellmars1185]

@missjeanie No I have not but great idea! I have one hqndy in my kitchen!

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Sounds fun! I always enjoy hearing about others DIY masking experiences! Glad it turned out nice! 😃

[eshoe]

Kudos to you for trying, @Mellmars1185! You never know when you might stumble upon something fantastic unless you try, right?!

[lmaster]

How cool!! @Mellmars1185 thanks for sharing, looks so fun

[quspork]

This sounds like a fun little DIY mask, @Mellmars1185!

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, I didn’t realize Foreo had this product; sounds promising. I love @heartsmyface’s suggestion for grinding the oatmeal first. 

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185 @If you mix the oats in a food processor you get a much better paste when you add the honey and water;) 

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface Great suggestion! I just got one too!
