[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

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?

Ooo I actually am using part of the monthly letter this time. I am using A for First Aid Beauty FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask 3.4 oz/ 96.4 g  I have been getting a ton of sun lately and my poor skin is very dehydrated. I have been trying everything to help but nothing is helping so tonight I tired this. I have used it before and I keep it around because it helps my skin when it’s very sensitive. I love that it has a light scent that is very earthy and it’s not overly strong and that I can just apply it and forget about it.

@ather Pssst- mix argan oil or vitmain E into your masks;);)  and as gross as this sounds a humidifier helps mitigate the dryness from air conditioning if that’s also a possible factor.  

[ather]

@heartsmyface  Such a great idea. I need to try that. I think my face is a little upset because of too much sun!! 

[heartsmyface]

@ather  Ohhh, ouch, once you’re in sunburn territory you should be treating it as the wound it is and be using polysporin or an anti-microbial ointment.  Vitamin E is great for moisture but if you need that pain relief as well polysporin is the answer.  

[ather]

@heartsmyface  I wasn’t sunburnt but you know how your skin feels funny when you’re in the sun to long. Almost like a leather feeling lol. Maybe it’s just my skin. 

[heartsmyface]

@ather  Aw yeah, dried up skin barrier.  oils!  All the oils!!   
I actually just made my own homemade rose water simmering rose petals from the garden until they were colourless, which has been really nice, softening and relieving.  It was already pretty oily but I added a few extra drops of rosehip oil to make it extra nice!  I put it in an old toner mister and it’s sitting in the fridge for refresher mists.  Plus it smells divine!  

 

 

[lmaster]

@ather I've not tried that one!! 

[ather]

@lmaster  It’s a good one!!

[quspork]

I hope this gentle mask gives your skin some much needed soothing and hydration, @ather!

[ather]

@quspork  It definitely did!!

[itsfi]

@ather, it sounds like the mask lived up to its "relief and rescue" name. 😁 It's always good to have a soothing / healing mask on hand to treat sensitive skin.
