June Skin Obsession: Masks Under $10 for Great Skin

June Skin Obsession: Masks Under $10 for Great Skin

When my face starts cutting up, I know that it’s because a) my diet has been off or b) I need to do some major TLC. ASAP & Stat. Skincare brands these days can be costly and some of them are well worth the money, but some of us are trying to save the coins and not necessarily splurge. “So how do I make it look like I splurged on my skin without necessarily dropping a whole lot?” The answer is simple, under $10, and it’s literally been in front of your face the whole time. Sheet masks. They’ve been around for quite a while but in the last few years, they’ve gained a lot of traction in the beauty world. 

Some benefits of sheet masks include

1)      They’re way less messy than traditional face masks

2)      There are so many different specialized formulas that can cater to several different skin types and concerns

3)      Most of them are very affordable

I’ve been a huge fan of the Tony Moly brand in particular since my days as a manager at ULTA. I tried them for the first time when they were having a BOGO half off sale *like they’re having right now*. TonyMoly has well over 25 different masks to choose from so there’s literally something for everyone. 

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some great ones to start with:

I’m Real Green Tea Sheet Mask

Key Ingredients: Green Tea, Rose, Coconut, Calendula, Lotus Flower

What it does: Purifies the skin, hydrates, and revives complexion

My Results: I use this when my skin is looking exceptionally tired. A little while back when I was considering botox or fillers for some lines that were creeping up, I used this mask in particular and it filled those lines right in. You can really tell a difference by looking at my earlier videos and the more recent ones. 

I’m Real Olive Oil Sheet Mask

Key Ingredients: Olive Oil, Ginseng, Cherry Blossom, Honey

What it does: Hydrates, conditions, adds radiance to the skin

My Results: I can use this mask in all seasons. In the winter time, it keeps my skin glowing and well hydrated. In the hotter seasons, it helps keep my oils under control and radiant *instead of greasy looking*

Key Ingredients: Vitamin C, Orange Extract, Rice Extracts, Seaweed

What it does: Brightens hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone

My Results: Hyperpigmentation and dark spots are one of my biggest skin concerns. This mask brightens up dark spots instantly and continues to improve skin tone & texture over time.

These are just a few. There’s tea tree, rice and so many other great masks from this line to try and for under 6 bucks, they’re so worth the drive to ULTA.  

They’re currently buy one get one half off at your nearest ULTA. Tell them Bee sent you. I’d love to know how they work out for you.
