💕😌 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?

@itsfi 

Lolololol. I see what you did there! You're so clever.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Great selection of winners! I have both of these and need to try them. 

[itsfi]

Looking forward to hearing how these work for you @Samtian. I don’t need another hair mask but if I’m going to have another one, it’s a treat to have the K18. 👍🏼 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Love that Innisfree too! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, yeah, I try other clay masks because sometimes I just can't help myself. But I always come back to this one and a couple others. 😁

[Cissy63]

@itsfi   What a wonderful hair and face masking session 🌺.  Excellent review as always!

[itsfi]

Thank you @Cissy63! Both these masks will be staples in my routine.

[Samtian]

Last night I used this Pink Milk Mask. It was expired so it smelled a little pungent. Milky serum. Thick mask. Face flaming red after. 10-15 min wear time.
Lots left on skin to rub in.
Greasy next day.

Mask fit really good. 

Would not repurchase.

Copied from Ipsy website-

Why You'll Love It

• This is the ultimate winter sheet mask. It’s hydrating, softening, and gives your skin an immediate dewy glow. Yes, please!
• Superstar ingredients like niacinamide and ginseng berry work together to help dramatically brighten your skin tone.
• No slipping or sliding—it’s made with a flexible fiber material that hugs the contours of your face.
• With a cute pink color and fresh, floral scent, these masks are perfect for your self care Sundays.

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  Oh man, what a bummer! Did the redness last long?

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 I went to sleep afterwards so I'm not sure. 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, I'm all for the milky serum, but the rest is a pass! How's your skin doing now?

About the redness you experienced, did you use this sheet mask the day after you used the PTR pumpkin mask? Or, are you by chance sensitive or allergic to niacin?

[Samtian]

@itsfi My skin was fine the next day, just greasey. I have no idea about the niacin. And nope it was quite a while after the ptr. I had finished that a week or so before. 

[itsfi]

Hmmm… 🤔 I wonder what caused your skin to redden @Samtian

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  Yes for the pink mask color but no for the smell, red flaming skin and greasy next day.  But the package sure stands out 😃

[Samtian]

Just finished off my sample of the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 oz , I have 62 masks in my pan project, so once those come down I'm getting a full size of that baby! Up next I am testing the Korres  Pomegranate Ahas & Enzyme Resurfacing Mask, which isn't available on their site anymore...which is fitting because I liked it. It smelled good, applied easy, and my face looked pretty great in the morning. Was red after applying it but not in the morning. 

[Shosh85]

@Samtian That PTR Pumpkin mask is one of my most favorites and definitely a well-loved one around here!! Good for you for waiting until you've used up your others - I never have that kind of restraint 😂

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Haha it's hard but I need to! 

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  What a shame they d/c’ed the Korres one.  Especially when you say benefits from it☹️  But oh the PTR pumpkin mask is the bomb ! 

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 Most definitely! 

[Kim888]

The good ones always get discontinued @Samtian !!! I remember liking that korres one as well but not as much as the pumpkin 

[Samtian]

@Kim888 That is the truth!
