Where can i find a really good cheap face mask?

Question

I've used many, and they don't seem to really do anything.... are there any that i could buy at like a walgreens or CVS? Something that cleans your pores and removes dead skin?

Answer 1

My favorite masks are: Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask - it has clay & benzoyl peroxide. I prefer to use it as a mask only.

Beauty w/o Cruelty clay mask - sold @ many natural food stores.

Some home remedies:

One good mask recipe:
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 2 tbsp. honey & a bit of ground oatmeal. Apply a layer & leave it on for 10 mins. Rinse off w/ tepid water.

Yogurt - loosens dead skin cells
Honey - humectant w/ anti-bacterial properties
Oatmeal - optional; soothes & helps remove dry skin

Face mask recipe for oily skin are: crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water, aloe or Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask and apply. Let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse w/ cool water & face cloth.

For combination/oily skin: apply thin layer of plain milk of magnesia. Let dry for 15 minutes or so. Rinse w/ tepid water & face cloth. This helps tighten pores & get rid of excess oil.

Answer 2

Try Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask. It's like $3 from Walgreen's. It feels and smells so minty-fresh!

Answer 3

Right in your kitchen you have the answer.

Clean your face with facial soap not reg soap of all dirt.

Heat water in a microwavable bowl and add mint or rosemary to it. Get it hot and carefully not to spill or burn yourself hang you head over the bowl with a towel draped over your head and steam gently for 20 mins.

Rinse with cool water and later you can froth up some egg white be sure not to get yolk in it or it won't froth.

Pat froth on your face and neck and let it work. It will tighten your skin and pores. Leave it for 10-15 min. rinse with cool water.

What you have done is clean out your pores and tightened your pores back up.

Answer 4

Yes, try Queen Helene products from CVS or Walgreens. I use the mint julep mask.

Answer 5

Freeman's has a great line of face masks, feet masts, peel off masks for a really good price. they are under 3 dollars usually. another great thing is that they have different ones to accommodate your skin type (clarifying, dry, moisture, oily, etc.) i am a make-up artist and skin care consultant and i have used everything but i think this line is the only one that works just as well as the others - it gets the job done. good luck. :)

Answer 6

this is the best mask i've ever used and you make it your self. I dont use the toner or moisturizer she suggest because i cant really afford it. And i replace the honey with water.
The site is down right now, but go to her site and click "Next 5>>>" in the bottom right hand corner about 3 times. You'll see and "Aspirin Mask" recipe. Or just google aspirin mask. Its great stuff and as cheap as it gets.

Answer 7

Yes, you can definitely get one at your local drug store. Search for something that fits the description of what you're looking for. There should be a lot of various facial masks.

Answer 8

plain yogurt for 3 minutes on your face and then gently use your fingertips to rub back and forth the excess( like eraser stubble) over your sink... this is a mask and exfoliation in one and leaves your skin vibrant-- the secret is in the yogurt cultures

Answer 9

I use plain baking soda. It's cheap & makes your skin feel very smooth. I've used a lot of products but nothing makes my face feel smoother than baking soda. Good luck.

Katie K,

The best place would be the natural health food store. You cannot beat the ratio of quality versus price.
