DERMAL 24 Combo Pack Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet - The Ultimate Supreme Collection for Every Skin Condition Day to Day Skin Concerns. Nature made Freshly packed Korean Face Mask https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722LVW3B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7tKLEbDPRKPG1
I got a 24 pack of Korean collagen face masks on Amazon. Very similar to the Garnier mask, makes my skin feel soft and smooth, and it was less than $14. I highly recommend them as a good priced substitute. The royal jelly one sounds weird, but it is my absolute favorite. Smells like honey. Oh and the wine was... odd. I didn't see the scent when I opened it, and I thought I had drank too much the night before and was sweating alcohol or something, it was very disconcerting until I read the package.
Im sad all my work friends have moved to different places. Now I’m eating lunch alone in my office! 💔😐
To Beat the Blues I’ll treat myself to a nice mask after work! spa face mask

u/bonorsbollege how do you beat the blues?
Test is great for skin! Get a bunch of those face-masks from amazon:
Use 2-3 times a week and your skin will feel like a baby's ass.
I totally recommend the DERMAL 24 Combo Pack Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet. It’s absolutely amazing and so, so, so cheap. It’s great for sensitive skin and has collagen, which is something so important for our skin to make it bouncy and help fight against wrinkles, plus it’s super moisturizing!
Also it’s only $16 bucks for an entire 24 face sheet mask pack on amazon!: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722LVW3B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z83BCbWSGMW10
I also recommend trying the one week, sheet mask challenge. Wearing one sheet mask daily. I’ve actually did a one month sheet mask challenge and my skin could never look better. I loved it lmao.
DO IT!! Skin care is for all genders! Plus, you can get super cheap ones from Amazon. I got this set & still haven't used them all:

Korean facial masks on Amazon. I don't have a skin care routine and it's finally catching up to me in my 40's so I bought some cheap facial masks at Target and they're great. Amazon sells a variety pack of 24 for $14. I'm going to use them 2X a week.
I really like korean sheet masks, I started using 1 a day recently. I am linking a cheap brand from amazon that I have purchased with no bad effects, but there are higher end ones
Use after you clean your face and before you moisturize. You can squeeze out the serum after 20 mins and rub on your face or use on your body.

i get this set. the same brand (dermal) also makes 16-packs. tbh i don't notice much difference between "name brand" masks and these cheap masks other than the fit, and dermal's masks have a good fit for me and don't break the bank at less than a dollar a mask :)
edit: i just saw on that link that they have a 48 pack for $32.50. masks 4 lyfe!!
They are also on Amazon for $12.95, pretty good deal if you got prime 🤗
Pureology Hydrate Sheer (for fine hair) keeps natural oils in my hair while keeping my scalp happy. I only use a little bit of leave-in. Before finding this shampoo/conditioner I had to use multiple products to make my hair look the same.

Laneige lip mask makes my lips so smooth.

Juice Beauty tinted spf is a physical sunscreen that is tinted to not leave a white residue. It is very gentle on my skin and evens out my tone (I don't want any more coverage than that).
Aside from books (so many books!), here are some of my favorite recent Amazon purchases in that price range.

Two skincare hacks that work for me as the mom of a toddler:
(1) Before you shower, wash your face, slap on a sheet mask (love these), and hold it in place with a sheet mask cover (like this). That way you can remain upright and do other things while your skin gets a good dose of hydration. Doesn't have to be in the shower, but linking face masks to showering might help you establish the routine. I reuse sheet masks three times before tossing (just put them back in the pouch and let them soak up the essence until next use).
(2) I used to use like 10 essences, serums, and tinctures every day to get my skin glowing, and now I just use one: The Ordinary's Buffet. It's a mixture of a bunch of great-for-your-skin ingredients and leaves me glowy without layering on a thousand products. I seal it with a sunscreen (I use this one because it's an essence-moisturizer-spf in one) and that's about all the time I have before my toddler starts demanding my full attention.
Hair hack which may or may not work for you depending on hair type: hot rollers all the way. I used to be a blowout-every-three-days kind of girl. Now I air dry and hot roll using this (admittedly pricey) set. Similar effect.
Biggest thing that's made a difference for my face since having a toddler: eyelash serum (I use Grandelash). I used to get lash extensions every two weeks. Now my lashes are longer than they used to be with extensions, which makes me look about 30% better even without makeup. And when I put on volumizing mascara, it's a huge, eye-opening difference. I do perm my lashes (by myself, at home) because I have very straight lashes--easier for me than curling my lashes every day with an impatient toddler hanging off my leg.
Cheers! Here's to surviving the pandemic with babies and careers :)
It's no problem! I use dermal sheet masks, I believe they're a Korean brand. I linked to a US amazon link just so you can see what it looks like. I feel like you'd be able to find them still, plus they are really cheap.
Also, in case you want to check out the 'toner' I use this is it. It's marketed as a toner but I honestly feel like it moisturizing enough to use without another moisturizer on top unless you're very dehydrated (which is why i like the squalane on top at night).
For those who use sheet/face masks, there is a pack of 24 ON SALE on Amazon right now.
