BUDGET MASK #8 LonVitalité C10 Crystal Whitening & Moisturising Hand Mask $5.00

Age spots can be just as common on the hands as the face, so it’s a good idea to use a whitening mask on this area as well.

BUDGET MASK #9 Balance Active Formula Snake Venom Face Mask $9.99

Yep you read right, snake venom. This mask uses an ingredient called syn-ake, a peptide that relaxes the facial muscles to help draw out impurities. It gently exfoliates the skin to remove dead skin cells and reveal a more radiant complexion.

BUDGET MASK #10 beauty essentials Pure Mud Mask ($4.99, 100mL, priceline.com.au)

Just because you have dry or dehydrated skin, doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in a mud mask. This particular mask is rich in anti-oxidants and contains yarrow, strawberry and rosemary to help promote a healthy complexion and repair damaged skin.
