💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[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?

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

[ather]

@quspork  Thank you!! Miss seeing you around here!

[quspork]

Aw, thanks, @ather. It's been a busy past couple of months, but hopefully will be able to check in more often soon! 💜

[ather]

@quspork  Yay!!! Glad to see you back!

[Shosh85]

@ather  Sorry to hear the sheet mask didn't do much - like @itsfi said, sounds like a typical filler mask. Glad you have the FAB mask to help you out 😃

[ather]

@Shosh85  I agree. I think it is a decent filler mask. Maybe more use would yield more results!

[Kim888]

Green tea can be such a great ingredient @ather , too bad it didn’t give any great results ! 

[ather]

@Kim888  I agree. I normally love green tea masks!! 

[itsfi]

This sounds like it might be a filler mask @ather, which isn’t bad, but there seems to be more and more masks that fall into that camp the longer you’ve been sheet-masking. The little tea bag and cup illustrations are adorable though. 😍

[ather]

@itsfi  I agree. Not a bad filler mask but I’ve tried much better fillers too. Although I wonder if a weekly use would have more results?

[ZionBero]

Do you have a list of those filters which you have tried please show them here I want to more about them in detail? I want to apply them on https://truepaintballer.com/

Nose redness can be so stubborn @ather 

If this dosen't do that trick I hope you find something that will 💕

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I still have to wear a mask at work so I always have a red nose. I find the medical masks are so irritating for my skin. 

[SportyGirly125]

@ather I can wear a KN 95 mask all day and don’t get any issues around my nose or maskne. 

[ather]

@SportyGirly125  That’s good. I have extremely sensitive skin so they bother me. 

[CynthieLu]

Im sorry to hear that ☹️ That's sooo unfortunate @ather

Do you think it's the friction of it touching the same spot all day?

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I think it’s the friction as well as the material. On the weekends I don’t wear a mask and I’m not red. I’m sure it’s all the chemicals they use to produce them too. They always smell gross. 

[CynthieLu]

@ather I wonder if there's any thing you can wear to reduce the friction, something to give it more slip over the areas its rubbing? A barrier to protect your skin? Reapply it on the areas that bother you through out the day? Maybe this is all stuff you've already tried 😅

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I use to use different things lately I just go with the redness. No one sees it and I apply lots of moisturizers when I get home!! You are so sweet for thinking about that!! I hoped it would go away like the pain behind my ears from the straps but nope!

[CynthieLu]

@ather  Ugh the struggles of constant masking 😫 

[Cissy63]

@ather   I hope it see some results but I know they don’t always give us what they promise.   But I have heard more than one member say the FAB mask it good.!

[ather]

@Cissy63  so far no results. But I’m not too surprised. Not terrible but not the best!
