💕😌 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 💮

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💗

@eshoe  I wouldn't say it's my favorite scent in the world - it wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. I feel like it was just the natural scent of the ingredients, so I'm ok with that. 😉

[eshoe]

Yes, much better than a floral perfumed scent meant to mask the mask, @Shosh85. Cica is always a good one to have on hand, even if it is a little different ☺️

[Kim888]

always nice to find a great one @Shosh85 ! I think I've used this as well but I can't remember what I thought of it - cica is always good though!

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Yeah, the more and more I mask, the harder it is to find one that impresses me! Cica is definitely one of my favorite skincare ingredients too and I love that this one has that, plus so much other great ingredients as well! 😃

Ahhhh, the INCI list on this one looks wonderful @Shosh85! VT does it again! 💚 Your description of the scent seems spot on given the ingredients. Interesting that you were able to smell it the entire time you had on the mask. Leafy I can do; I'm not sure about the bark scent though, especially if it's noticeable during the entire wear time. Hmmm... there's one way to find out. 😀

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I don't really mind a bark scent, especially if it's on the lighter side, but this was more of an even combination of leafy and bark-y, so they kinda balanced each other out. 😉 Definitely worth a repurchase and makes me super motivated to try more from the brand! 😃

@Shosh85  Ooo sounds like a good one!

[Shosh85]

@ather  Yep, I loved this one! 😃

[Cissy63]

@Shosh85  What a great mask. Really does have a lot of good stuff in it. Your background choice is lovely too!

[Shosh85]

@Cissy63  I'll definitely have to purchase more soon! 

I love all things Starry Night! This blanket often gets used as a background 😉🌌

This weeks theme of “Wintery Holiday Masks” is one I enjoyed.  I picked out my Artic Breeze Rescue Mask from Snow Fox Skin Care.  It’s a 100% organic cotton sheet mask soaked in a white essence.  There is no fragrance.  It’s meant to hydrate, smooth, brighten and treat redness The fit is pretty good, there are several slits around the lower face and chin. This makes for a better fit. 
 
Right after you put it on you notice this huge cooling sensation.  Not like menthol but,more like ice cubes on your face.  
I left it on for 20 minutes.  There was some essence remaining on my face that I left to absorb. This cooling sensation remained for several minutes after. 

There were no skin issues with the mask.

My face felt soft and smooth after using it. I really did not have any redness to treat this time around.

Wow, the idea of a cooling mask like this sounds perfect for summertime, @Cissy63! Great review 👍🏼

[Cissy63]

@eshoe  Thank you.  Yes this is actually one that certainly would be great for summer 🌝

[ather]

@Cissy63  Sounds interesting! 

[Cissy63]

@ather   Definitely felt like my face was outside ❄️

[Shosh85]

@Cissy63  Oh, this one sounds wonderful! I bet it would be great on a hot day! 😃

[Cissy63]

@Shosh85  Oh my yes. This would be great on a hot summer day😀

[Kim888]

That’s great @Cissy63 - sounds like an interesting sensation one. That brand used to show up in fabfitfun sometimes but I’m not sure I ever tried anything 

[Cissy63]

@Kim888  I may have bought it there a, but I can’t be sure. But it was very cooling 😀

[lmaster]

@Cissy63 ohhhh I want this for the summer!!

[Cissy63]

@lmaster  Oh what a good idea! Thank you!
