One of my simple pleasures in life is a weekly facial mask ritual, and so for last week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I asked you to review your favorite/not so favorite
masks on our awesome new
Product Review Site. Whether they be gels, creams, acne reducers, or firming enhancers, luxurious facial masks make me feel like a queen — well, for a few minutes, at least.
I loved reading everybody's opinions, and the following three reviews really stood out:
There is a somewhat disturbing article in the October issue of Elle about the author's recent battle with a bout of dematillomania, also known as acne excoriée. Call it what you will, but many people pick at their faces. Some of us gently extract in a magnifying mirror, while others perform minor surgery until we draw blood.
I debated long and hard with this installment of
the Clarisonic diaries. There's been a Clarisonic-buying trend at Sugar headquarters, and we all unanimously agree that it's improving our skin. When we congregate before meetings, we talk about our deep and abiding love for the gadget's pore-shrinking, skin-softening capabilities.
I'm beginning to really like the concept of products that work while I'm fast asleep (and wide awake, of course). But, I'm beginning to not like the dark circles and puffiness that have made their way to the area just underneath my peepers. So, when team member
jennIRL wrote to me about an interesting new depuffing product, I had to give it a whirl.
Welcome to part five of my
miniseries on the mini-facial, where I'll detail specific fast skin-recovery routines for those mornings where a face wash isn't enough.

So, check out my tips for righting what went wrong overnight.

During those humid days when you can feel your hair frizzing and your pores clogging, I grow tired of getting up to wash my face while I'm cleaning up, reading a good book, or, you know, watching VH1. It's days like these that I turn to
MD Skincare 4-in-1 Facial Treatment, which is just as convenient at the gym or for travel. Here's why: each palm-sized package cleanses, tones, treats and moisturizes in one fell swoop.
Back in junior high, my girlfriends and I used to have slumber parties galore. We watched blockbusters like
Teen Wolf and bonded over the slathering of "zit cream" to heal our overactive hormones.
Fast-forward to present day.
