Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@eshoe oh wow!! I was so excited to see artichoke,,, I'm so sorry to see your skin is being intolerable of the new products 😣

[eshoe]

They have a radish one too, @lmaster! I think I might just try that one. Although, alcohol denatured is #4 on this list which makes me *think* it might be placed somewhere close in the other one, too🤔

[lmaster]

Why @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Oh no, so sorry about the Freeman's mask! Is your face back to normal now? I've only tried one Freeman's sheet mask (from a different line) and actually ended up liking it a lot! Too bad this one was a bad experience for you! 😢

[eshoe]

Everything is a-ok now, @Shosh85, thank you! I’ve tried some of their wash—off masks and really enjoyed them. I believe @sephoraaddict918 was the key enabler on those😊 

[itsfi]

Sorry to hear that your skin is more sensitive @eshoe. It may be an ingredient or ingredients in the products you are using; or that the products are not working well together. Also, it may be reacting to the different Bakuchiol products being introduced - you mentioned not encountering this when your routine consisted solely of Herbivore bakuchiol. Our skin responds to products / ingredients differently depending on a host of factors, and “safe and non-irritating“ isn’t always a one size fits all sort of thing. 

Have you tried pausing on masks for the time being and maybe just applying aloe (the more pure the formula, the better) to your face to help with soothing. 

[eshoe]

I think you are on to something, @itsfi. There might be some ‘sidecar’ ingredients that are not working well for me. Time to read those lists more carefully, so I can pinpoint whatever it is and get back on the mask track. I am waiting on the RE:P Bio Fresh Mask With Real Calming Herbs, hoping that will give me an opportunity mask without any adverse reactions!

[sonnydee]

oh such a let down on the scent for you 😒@eshoe at least the lip balm was a treat

[eshoe]

Maybe the radish will actually have a radish scent, @sonnydee - then again, I’m not so sure that would be the best thing😂

[l8totheparty]

Glad you like it! @eshoe 

[eshoe]

Thanks, @l8totheparty, I love it!

Y is for Yadah

Spoiler

Under the sea mask pack is a thin white sheet saturated in clear bubbly serum, which included plenty extra in the sleeve. The scent,,, ok I know what seaweed smells like because I have a pond,,, and it definitely is pretty close! Fortunately you can't smell it while it's on your face. Wear time was 20 minutes, I could tell the sheet was starting to get close to being dry, after removing my skin was nicely hydrated, extremely soft and plump, very lightly moisturized. Great results not so great scent

Ingredients

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I find that the fragrance on many sheet masks dissipate quickly, and are undetectable by the time I apply the mask to my face. Very happy to hear that was the case with this one; the results sound wonderful! 😃

[lmaster]

I agree @itsfi most fragrance does not linger, this one especially I'm glad didn't 😆

[eshoe]

I haven’t seen this one, @lmaster - I like the sound of it, though. Now I might choose to do it when I have a cold, I’m with you on the pond scent😆

[lmaster]

Lol too funny @eshoe that may be wise 😉

[ShortErica]

I'm all about the Yadah but even if the scent doesn't linger, I'm not so tempted by this one. But you did say great results @lmaster - oh the tug of war on my heart. Who am I kidding, I'd totally give it a try.

[lmaster]

It was really good! @ShortErica 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster 

I like your end summary - "Great results, not so great scent" - I think that could sum up a lot of the masks I've tried 😉 But in the end, the results are what matter the most, right?👍

[lmaster]

Absolutely @Shosh85 you don't even notice the scent when you remove it from the packaging anyway 

[emaisgr8]

This sounds like it gave good results @lmaster
