2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: LAST Week! - Don't forget hand + foot care

[TeamBIC]

Happy New Year, BIC! ✨ We’re stepping into 2025 with a crucial reminder: we must take special care of ourselves — this year and EVERY year. Some of us may already have set resolutions and/or stellar routines nailed down; regardless of where you are on your self-care journey, we could all use a few extra nudges and motivation to spend some extra time on ourselves! 🤝

Much like posts from previous years, we’ve come up with a list of weekly prompts to challenge you to strut your self-care skills. 💗 This time around we’ll be focused on all things skincare, because when our skin feels good, we feel GEWD. 🌟 We encourage you to participate and respond to the prompts that inspire you – and don’t be shy to share any other self-care tips and tricks along the way!

Week 1 (1/8 – 1/14): Curating the perfect rise and glow ☀ skincare routine to kick off your day 

Week 2 (1/15 – 1/21): Relaxing in your favorite face/eye mask(s)

Week 3 (1/22 – 1/28): Trying out tools to promote wellness (rollers, high tech tools, DIY massage . . .)

Week 4 (1/29 – 2/4): Adding some extra indulgence to your body care (baths, butters, oils, scrubs etc.) 🛀

Week 5 (2/5 – 2/11): Washing your makeup brushes, towels, pillowcases, etc. — whatever touches your GORG face 😘

Week 6 (2/12 – 2/18): Stimulating your scalp with treatments/serums (yes, this is skincare too!)

Week 7 (2/19 – 2/25): Sharing your favorite jumbo or refillable skincare goodies to get the best bang for your buck 🤑

Week 8 (2/26 – 3/4): Giving your hands and feet some extra love (masks, creams, exfoliants, etc.)

Ooo! This looks fantastic! Are these scented? Happy Masking 🙂 ❤️

My all time favorite face mask is Caudalie Mini Pore Minimizing Instant Detox Mask 1.18 oz / 35 mL. I get compliments on my skin during the day nearly every time I use this mask. 

[PrettyPaint]

That sounds incredible @ElleSmith16 

[curlychiquita]

I’ll have to try it, @ElleSmith16!

[CorgiMommy]

Now that sounds like a great masks @ElleSmith16 

[Mellmars1185]

@ElleSmith16 Thanks for sharing! Another mask I want to look into now ☺️

[CynthieLu]

Ohhh so many people swear by this mask @ElleSmith16 💚 it sounds good! How often do you like to use this? 

[ElleSmith16]

I typically use it twice a week. 

[CynthieLu]

You are so disciplined @ElleSmith16 I need to find a way to make time and mask more often. Do you have a routine when you use this?

[peculiarzmakeup]

This sounds amazing how long do you wear it for? I need to check this brand out. Happy Masking! ❤️ @ElleSmith16 

[ElleSmith16]

I wear until dry, usually between 5-10 minutes.

Relaxing in your favourite face/eye masks 

I added a couple foot masks in the spirit of masking ☺️. I would also say that these are my current masks. I will put an 🌟 beside my favourites.

LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g - I use this a few nights a week right now. This is a new product to me that I just opened. I received it at Sephoria. So far I have been liking it. It is a thick gel consistency.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Sleepair Intensive Night Mask 2.53 oz / 75 ml 🌟(mine is 100 mL) - I have been loving this. I have been using this nightly all winter. It is also a gel consistency and absorbs nicely into my skin. 

innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml (mine is in the darker container).🌟 - This has been gentle enough to use on my skin in the winter. Although I am ready to open a new mask, I would definitely repurchase this one!

Whish Exfoliating Foot Mask - I have been applying this in the colder months (when I remember) underneath socks a bedtime.

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Eggnog Latte 🌟 - I use this nightly. I like that it is clear and does not stain my silk pillow case.

Another favourite, but not pictured is the Sephora Caffinated Eye Patches🌟

I included the Baby Foot Exfoliating Foot Peel (that I picked up on a shopping trip with fellow BICer's during Sephoria). I haven't used it yet. I am going on a trip mid February. I am wondering when the best time is to use it. I am thinking this weekend?

[PrettyPaint]

@Mellmars1185 I remember really like that Innisfree clay mask! I feel like that baby foot is one of the better ones I've tried. I think my feet stopped peeling in about two weeks or so. My heels are super callused, though, so nothing has entirely worked for that! 

[Mellmars1185]

@PrettyPaint Thank you for sharing. I have heard good things about this one. I realized that I probably couls have saved sharing this one until the last week of this challenge (oops 😳). I am going to try this on Thursday. I am excited and a bit nervous for the peeling.

[curlychiquita]

Looks like a great collection, @Mellmars1185!

[Mellmars1185]

@curlychiquita Thank you!

[CynthieLu]

I love your super cute back drop 😉 @Mellmars1185 Aaah taking the time to mask is such a rewarding experience. 

I am really curious about the Baby Foot mask, do you remember what store you grabbed it from? 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you! The Baby Foot Mask is from Ulta. Tagging @itsfi as she has used this before.

[CynthieLu]

I've heard of foot mask like these but never tried them, I like the idea of freshening up my feet. 😀 @Mellmars1185  if you can let us know how it goes when ever you do end up trying that out? I'm kinda curious now. 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Yes of course! I will be using them this week. From what I hear they make your skin peel. I also heard it is best to wear them with socks that have grips. I will keep you posted 😊

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Oh, that Dr. Jart Night Mask is such a great one! I've only ever had samples, but I really enjoyed it! Thanks for reminding me I wanted to by the full size 😉👍

Have you tried the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Sensitive Skin Serum Face Mask for Redness 1 Mask / pack
