These Face Masks Are My Secret for Glowing Skin in Dry Winter Weather — and They're Less Than $5 Apiece ‣ Diverse Daily

They calmed my breakouts and made my complexion feel soft and bouncy

We all know that sleep (beauty or otherwise) is great for your skin’s health, but what if I told you there’s a way to take it to a whole new level?

I discovered this hack firsthand after picking up the Medicube Pdrn Pink Collagen Gel Mask ahead of an international flight — a move that’s since changed my beauty routine forever. And now, you can get in on my beauty secret while each mask is going for less than $5 apiece at Amazon.

~~$21~~

While I first discovered the face mask after some of my favorite social media creators credited the product as their go-to hack for arriving with glowing skin after red-eye flights, it wasn’t until I tried it for myself that I was truly sold.

After applying the gel mask during take-off, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my skin looked hydrated, bouncy, and fresh upon landing in Ireland six hours later — and while running on a mere four hours of sleep.

To put it plainly, I found (and still find) the results to be downright shocking, and this is coming from someone who has tested their fair share of sheet masks over the years.

The main thing that sets this one apart from others is its texture: It goes on as a gel and dries as a transparent film once your face has fully absorbed the ingredients. It’s also packed with salmon sperm-derived DNA fragments (á la those celebrity facials) and hydrolyzed collagen that work together to calm my breakouts, even my skin tone, and make my complexion feel extremely plump and hydrated without irritating my sensitive skin.

I prefer to wear the masks overnight after cleansing and toning my skin, but you only have to leave them on for three to four hours to get the best results. And while they’re still my holy grail for long-haul flights, I also love using them ahead of big events — like weddings and bachelorettes — or any time my skin looks like it could use a boost.

Want to get facial-worthy results without lifting a finger (or an eyelid)? Take it from me and head to Amazon to pick up a four-pack of the Medicube Pdrn Pink Collagen Gel Mask while it’s on sale for $19.
