Masquerade

My teenage years involved many different skin regimens because sadly I was not one of the lucky few who was blessed with baby-smooth skin. I pretty much have tried every single type of acne treatment in my life and I had to take it to the extreme to clear up my skin (oral medication... boo.) Anyways, now that I am a couple years into my twenties (when acne is generally supposed to go away - thank God for me, it did... finally a lucky one?), I am still incredibly crazy and diligent about taking care of my skin. Excluding the obvious facial washes (morning + night), I like to occasionally use an absorbing masque. For the longest time, I used some rare masque I found at a small boutique... to be honest, I don't even know the name of the product I was using. So I have been in the market for a new one and my friend recommended Clinique's Turnaround Instant Facial Masque. Most likely I will try this some time in my life - perhaps when I am uber rich, but can we check out the price?! I refuse to pay anything over $25 for a facial product.

In this economy and as a recent student, I cannot afford to be tossing out $50-$70 on a face masque; it is just not smart. So my mission: this weekend, I plan on hitting up some drugstores and scouring the shelves for SOMETHING that will fill my masquerading needs and I will provide you with my findings asap :)

If you have some suggestions out there, PLEASE let me know.
