If there is one self-indulgent habit that I refuse to give up, it’s masking. No matter how many mimosas I have at boozy brunch or late nights I stay up online shopping, lathering on a face mask seems to fix all my problems and get my life back on track. However, keeping up with a vigorous skincare regimen can be pricey and time consuming. If you’re like me, you don’t have the time or patience to make a facial appointment on the regular. If you’re wanting to test out some new products without the financial commitment, order these cheap face masks online and get ready for a perfect alternative to spa facials and expensive masks.
1. Dr. Jart Shake & Shot Rubber Masks ($12)
This super cheap face mask comes in the cutest packaging that looks like a milkshake. Unlike a milkshake however, it helps to improve your skin’s elasticity and firmness. If you stress about fine lines and wrinkles (who doesn’t?) then this is the perfect solution for easing your woes.
2. e.l.f. Hydrating Bubble Mask ($11.83)
If you feel like your skin has been extra grimy due to environmental stressors, layer this bubble mask on to cleanse your pores. Even better? This is also a great cheap face mask for acne. It feels like a bubble bath on your skin so as you put it on, the formula gradually forms into fizzy bubbles. Once the bubbles dissipate, massage the product and begin to remove with lukewarm water.
3. Moisturizing Moon Mask ($22)
It's that really awkward time of year when it’s technically winter but it’s slowly transitioning into spring. That means your skin is probably going haywire and feeling intensely dry. This cheap face mask uses sweet almond oil, plant-based squalane and hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate your skin. Instead of just moisturizing the top layer of your skin, it goes deeper beneath your skin’s surface to really give you that inside out glow.
4. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask ($22)
Not only is the millennial pink packaging instagrammable, but this magical mask helps with your #GlowUp while you catch up on sleep. If you’re over the complicated and fussy skincare routines, this is the perfect addition to a simple skincare regimen. If you have overly sensitive or stressed skin and like to go the extra mile, you can use this as a wash-off mask by simply rinsing with warm water after 10 minutes.
5. Kiehl’s Deep Pore Cleansing Mask ($33)
I seriously cannot rave about this mask enough! My product junkie sister originally recommended this to me when I was feeling extra broke AND broken out. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only bring one mask with me, this would be it! Compared to the pricey counterparts that go for upwards of $200 to do the same job, this thick Amazonian clay mask eliminates pesky clogged pores and comforts skin. For all my oily friends out there, not only does this minimize pores (hallelujah!) but it also absorbs oil and reduces shine so you can look refreshed and dewy without being greasy.
6. Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Treatment Mask ($27.97)
Although this mask kind of looks like a weird technological torture machine, I promise it’s a great tool if you struggle with acne and can’t bring yourself to spend your rent money at the dermatologist’s office. With clinically proven technology that dermatologists actually use, this light therapy mask is a safe way to clear up acne and heal your skin. Simply cleanse your face, put the mask on, turn it on and relax for 10 minutes. Don’t worry about the rays either. This is the best cheap face mask that is chemical AND UV free!
7. St. Ives Nourished & Smooth Oatmeal Face Scrub & Mask ($4.29)
Most likely at one point in your life you purchased a St. Ives scrub. The brand is a favorite among many and their range of products tend to have great benefits for an inexpensive price. There’s nothing like a 2 for 1 and this oatmeal scrub and mask is the perfect combo of a gentle scrub and moisturizing mask. Oatmeal is known for it’s soothing properties and this creamy scrub is a great way to work in an exfoliating scrub and mask at the same time.
