The Best Cheap Face Masks

 | By Tracey Brown

The search for glowing, radiant skin care products is sometimes comparable to searching for the Holy Grail. Perhaps you have your basic skin care regimen down pat — cleansing, toning and moisturizing — but it’s still not quite enough for the “glowing” results you are looking for. If so, then it’s time to step up your skin care game to include a mask to achieve those results. No matter your skin type or skin care concern, a mask can address your needs. Inexpensive masks are readily available on your drugstore aisles.

Dull skin can certainly make you look older, and it doesn’t play well with makeup. A simple, cheap brightening mask can alleviate dullness and make your skin look radiant on its own and even better with makeup. One of the best cheap masks for brighter skin is Masque Bar by Look Beauty Brightening Sheet Mask because it contains skin-brightening vitamin C and licorice. Since it’s a sheet, it seals in moisture as well. At $10 for a pack of 10, this brightening mask is appropriate for dry, normal, combination and mature skin types. In addition, if you are experiencing hyperpigmentation, this is a go-to mask for you.

2. Purge Your Pores

Clogged pores are a major hazard to glowing skin. Oil, makeup and dirt fill pores to the brim and detract from glowing skin. A mask that goes the extra mile to clear skin of embedded debris is the ticket for clear pores. One of the best cheap masks to conquer clogged pores is Freeman Feeling Beautiful Avocado & Oatmeal Purifying Facial Clay Mask, which contains oatmeal and vitamin E, draws out excess oils and dirt, purges clogged pores and leaves your skin clean and soft. This $3.99 mask works best for normal, combination, oily and acne-prone skin types.

3. Zit Zapper

Pesky pimples always manage to pop up at the worst time. Using a spot treatment mask along with a targeted skin care program for acne-prone skin will help shrink and heal pimples. European clay powder naturally absorbs oil and dries up zits without adding shock to your skin. One of the best cheap masks for zit-zapping is Now Foods European Clay Powder at $5. Mix this powder with water and rinse before it totally dries. Clay powder masks are best for spot treatment and for combination, oily and acne-prone skin types.

4. Exfoliate Without Scrubbing

Aging takes its toll on our skin in too many ways to count. One significant process that slows down as we age is the natural exfoliating process. An exfoliating mask like Freeman Feeling Beautiful Pineapple Facial Enzyme Mask, which removes dead skin with alpha hydroxy acids rather than harsh scrubbing particles, is a sure-fire way to get glowing. Best in cheap masks, Freeman Feeling Beautiful Pineapple Facial Enzyme Mask costs less than $5 and is good for all skin types except the most sensitive.
