💕😌 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💗

@itsfi cute haha!! 🌼🤍

[itsfi]

@Anonymous, thank you. I get nervous with bubbling masks but this one did a good job of staying in place. From what I’ve seen online, these foaming masks can either look fun or scary when it completely bubbles up. The ones I’ve tried, thankfully, have not foamed up so much that it overwhelms my face. That would be scary. 😬

It’s unusual to have a swab for lips and eyes included in the kit.  Sounds like your skin benefited from the mask.  But too bad it’s not sold anymore. 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, Without looking at the description of the product on the packaging, I would have just assumed the cotton swab was saturated with an AHA or BHA. But given the cleansing purpose of the mask it makes sense that it is an eye and lip makeup remover. It fits the theme of the mask but my personal preference would have been for something to use after the bubbling sheet mask.

Two of my fave multi-step masks! 

Spoiler

the Philosophy resurfacing peel mask has the first step as a gritty paste that exfoliated skin and then a serum over top that warms up. You leave that for 3 minutes and then you wash it off.  This gives the glowiest smoothest skin after use and is one of my fave quick masks to use! 

i also love, as do many of us, the Holika Holika tea masks. The red one isn’t my fave version, but the whole line does such a nice job 

 

[lmaster]

Oh yes!! Those holika masks are amazing!! @Kim888 

[eshoe]

@Kim888 what a great masking session! The Philosophy one reminded me of the beloved 3-step Ole Henriksen Glow Mask 😢

You many have mentioned it before, but I am curious which one of the Holika Holika tea masks is your favorite 🤔

[Mellmars1185]

@Kim888 Neats masks! I realized that I do not own a multi step mask!

[nuinui933]

@Kim888 

the tea mask looks cool.

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I’m so happy someone posted about the Philosophy peel mask. Great to hear it is a fave of yours. I’ve been eyeing it for years. How gentle (or not so gentle) would you say it is? 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @The physical exfoliating part is a bit harsh - it’s very gritty. I try to be gentle but it’s definitely like rubbing sugar all over your face.

But the overall mask doesn’t have any stinging like you sometimes get from babyface or the like 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, thank you. The scrub part of the set sounds like it might be too much for me. The mask part sounds good though.

Well I fall right into the letter of the month with this mask!! Pretty sure everyone has heard about it. I really enjoyed it. Since this is my frost mask in a long time I will definitely follow up with a moisture mask. Likely Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask which is a love for me!! 

 

[lmaster]

Oh yes!! Excellent choices @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  Thank you!

[eshoe]

Both of these are A+ masks in my book too, @ather!  

[ather]

@eshoe  I agree!

[Mellmars1185]

@ather Great mask!! I am yet to try the Summer Fridays Mask

[ather]

@Mellmars1185  It’s so good. 

[nuinui933]

@ather  

I see that clay mask a lot on here. Will have to try it sometime.

[ather]

@nuinui933  It’s just so good! I know a lot on here that love it!
