💕😌 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?

Ouhhhh chantecaille sounds amazing @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it is. And it’s a pretty penny too so I will be savoring and hoarding this little deluxe sample size for a while. 😂 

[lmaster]

I have two masks that were pretty good

 

• This one had a clear serum with tons in the package
• The scent was nothing special, that typical bandaid scent
• The fit was small in the eye hole and mouth area
• Wear time was 15 minutes 
• Slight tack after removal
• My skin looked clarified and clean

 

• This one had the same clear serum
• Fit was small eye and mouth holes
• The scent on this one was fruity 
• Wear time 15 minutes 
• My skin looked glowy and felt hydrated
• Decent filler masks

[itsfi]

@lmaster, the illustration on the packaging are a draw; I remember seeing these on amazon but not recognizing the brand. The pomegranate one sounds good. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi they are decent for sure! 

[lmaster]

 

This one was fun!

The scent reminded me of bandaids 

Wear time was 15 minutes 

Plenty of clear bubbly serum 

Slight tackiness after serum is absorbed 

** I think this mask would be great as a primer mask. The slight tackiness is excellent for makeup to grip onto

@lmaster, the print on this one is pretty.

It drew me in!! @itsfi

April 2024 Masks

Spoiler

Oribe Alchemy Strengthening Masque makes for a great deep treatment when you're short on time. 5 minutes is all you need. I like how my hair feels less brittle and frizzy after using this mask. I have plenty of hair masks to make my way through but this is definitely on the list of hair masks that I'll look to when it comes time to picking up another one.

The Erborian Yuzu Vitamin Mask is a fun one - hard not to smile when I see the pretty, pale-yellow hue and smell the soft, subtle citrusy scent when I dispense the product from the tube. It can be left on for ​as little as 10 minutes or overnight, which is how I like to use it. The product has a lightweight lotion consistency that glides smoothly across the skin. My skin feels soft and has an overall healthy, brightened glow to it.

Love honey as a skincare ingredient; it’s so nourishing. 💛🍯  Farmacy Potion Plus Mask is one of my top 3 favorite honey wash off mask. It gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin - a 2-in-1 mask - and has a light, warming feel that is relaxing after a long day.

The Creme Shop Cica Mend Mask is not only one of the cutest sheet masks you’ll find, it’s one of the best Cica sheet masks out there, at least in my mind. Hydrates, calms irritated skin, and reduces the appearance of redness, this one’s a repeated repurchases and looks to continue to be that.

Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask exfoliates, decongest pores, smooth skin, reduces the appearance of redness, all in 5 minutes. It’s also a shade of greige green that is both off putting and easy on the eyes. It claims to be warming and you can feel that, slightly when you massage the product into the skin. This one can be drying depending on your skin type.

The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions Lift + Repair Eye Masks came with the DDG DRx SpectraLite EyeCare Max Pro that I purchased during last year’s fall sale. These eye masks are … just okay. It could just be the one I had too - it didn’t adhere very well and I didn't find that I got as much hydration from it that I have with other masks similar to this. It could be that this was an older batch, too, as it said this was part of a 2022 bundle?

The other masks I used during that particular masking session performed wonderfully and continue to be ones I love to use.

* amika Nourishing Mask - my hair feels soft, smooth, and well hydrated and moisturized every time I use this. Never heavy or weighed down.

* Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask (old packaging) is a wonderfully gentle and effective mask for decongesting pores and helping to shrink and calm breakouts. I generally reach for this at least once per month, sometimes more. As the weather warms, this becomes more of a staple in my skincare routine, with use ranging from 1-3 times per week. 

Oribe Hair Alchemy Strengthening Mask 5 oz / 150 mL 

Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask 

Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask Exfoliating Pore Treatment 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions™ Lift + Repair Eye Mask 

amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask 

innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml

@itsfi I still need to try that tatcha mask 😁 great line up for the month!

[itsfi]

She's pricey @lmaster but worth checking out if you can get your hands on the mini size.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  So many good ones here! That Farmacy mask is seriously the best! I love it especially in the colder months!

The Cica Crème Shop mask is probably my most favorite from the brand! I always pick up a pack when I see them at Marshall's/TJM 😃

[itsfi]

💯 @Shosh85 about the Cica Mend being a fave among TCS masks. I wish they didn’t discontinue those oversized maskerade eye masks. When it comes to a Cica sheet mask, I’m mainly using a VT multipack, but if the single use sheets, I like this one, as well as one from JMSolutions & the #Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Sensitive Skin Serum Face Mask for Redness 1 Mask / pack.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yes! Absolutely love the Dr. Jart one! I've been having some good luck finding them at Marshall's lately too! 😃

[lmaster]

 

Both of these were great! My skin is really needing some TLC and these felt so nice!

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Glad these turned out nice for you! I would've definitely bought that mask just for the cute cactus! 🌵 😊

[lmaster]

I know the packaging is too inviting and cute @Shosh85 🥺🥰

[lmaster]

Not floral or spring-y but still amazing!!

Seems like this one is discontinued??

Shocker.... Because it's the BEST bio cellulose mask I've ever used 😔 

This mask was actually drenched in serum, it looked like a hybrid between a cream and serum. 

So it wasn't as thick as a cream, but it was milky in color, with a thinner consistency.

Second skin fits this mask, it adhered to my face like a suction 🤣 there was no moving around at all. 

I loved it and wore it for 20 minutes

After removing, my skin absorbed the serum without feeling dry, it was lightly moisturized and my skin felt so good!!

 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Oh, man! This one sounds so great! ...... so of course it's discontinued! 🥹

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I will never understand why the great masks get discontinued!!! It doesn't make sense

[itsfi]

@lmaster, this one sounds nice and the ingredients look good. Was it part of a Facetory box?
