Between classes, part-time jobs and clubs, life as a collegiette can be stressful and jam-packed. While we want to keep our skin looking healthy and fresh, taking 20 to 30 minutes out of our day to sit around in a face mask is just not always possible. Get the same results in less than half that time! Here are seven masks that take 10 minutes or less, and still leave your skin glowing!
1. Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask ($3.99)
This combination mask and scrub works to detox your skin. The oil and impurities are first absorbed (without over-drying!), and the black sugar then helps exfoliate dulling skin cells. The mask is perfect for all skin types, and only has to be left on for 5 to 7 minutes!
2. Mario Badescu Whitening Mask ($24)
Brighten uneven skin tone, minimize acne scaring and reduce discoloration with this hydrating mask. Leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse with water. Follow up with moisturizer for beautiful, bright skin!
3. The Body Shop Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask ($22)
Because seaweed is packed with vitamins and moisturizes with no oils, it is ideal to use on normal to oily skin. The clay in this mask also cleanses and revitalizes skin after just 10 minutes!
4. Bliss Multi-Face-Eted All-In-One Anti-Aging Clay Mask ($50)
This mask corrects six of the most common aging skin concerns with jojoba oil and detoxifying carbon. Apply a thin layer to your clean face and leave on for 5 to 7 minutes, making sure to avoid the eye area!
5. Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask ($16.99)
Leave your skin feeling soft and smooth with this mask's intense moisture boost. Glycerin and cocoa butter nourish the skin, while the surface is strengthened with ceramides and cholesterol. The mask only needs to be left on for 3 minutes to rejuvenate the skin!
6. Ahava Purifying Mud Mask ($33)
This mask deep cleans and detoxifies pores with a blend of Dead Sea mud, minerals and natural extracts. Absorb oils and soothe skin for a fresh, radiant complexion. Leave a thick layer on for 2 minutes and rinse off thoroughly with warm water.
7. Philosophy Total Matteness Pore-Minimizing & Mattifying Cleanser + Mask ($27)
Glacial clay unclogs pores to reduce their appearance, oil is absorbed, and skin is left totally matte and shine-free. The product also gently foams to deep clean daily. Massage for 30 to 60 seconds as a cleanser, or leave on for 3 to 5 minutes to use as a mask.
