3 CLAY FACE MASKS FOR EVERY BUDGET

If you love to experiment with your skincare routine, then say hey to clay. Clay isn't exactly a new discovery – it's literally been in existence since dinosaurs roamed the earth. But it does have all kinds of benefits for your skin. It soaks up all trace of dirt and grease (great for oily skin, but kind to dry skin too); you can target areas of breakouts (it's excellent at drawing out impurities) and it gives your clogged pores a good clean. Here are three of our top picks..

If you're not overly excited about throwing around a heap of your cash, then these Yes To single application masks are a strong low-budget option. Just add water, yogurt or honey to turn the powder into clay and apply. Then sit back and feel slightly smug knowing you're going to look radiant for only 10 bucks.

Oh, and it's also bright green, so if you're into the Shrek look...
