Once the user squeezes the formula out of the easy-open tab inserts, they glide the mask onto the skin and voila! Instant perfection and stress relief. The heating component helps encourage the regeneration of new skin cells in the face to replace old dead ones. This can be found at both Target and Walmart.
- Aztec Secret – Indian Healing Clay Mask $10

This mask is truly the Holy Grail for all skin types. All that is needed to achieve stress relief and beautiful-feeling skin is warm water and this powder mix. This mask takes around 20-30 mins to dry completely, which means that once it is on, you are free to study, start flashcards or finish homework while the mask does all the work! To boost the clay’s acne-treatment, apple cider vinegar can substitute the water during the mixing portion of the preparation. Whichever way you choose, you cannot go wrong with this mask. It can be found online or in-store at CVS Pharmacy, Walmart or Amazon.
