"When I was in college, splurging on skin care didn't necessarily fit into my budget but after scoring a sample of the Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Mask ($120) from Bluemercury, I was instantly hooked. I went straight back and bought a full-size jar. This face mask (which is my favourite product to date, BTW), is my go-to when my skin feels tight, dry, red, or irritated. While I only need about 20 minutes for it to really work it's magic, I'll leave on the calming formula, which is infused with purslane, aloe vera, and chamomile, on for hours. And as soon as I rinse it off, my skin always feels soothed and looks insanely glowy. The transformation is unbelievable. Trust me, the mask is worth every penny." — Samantha Holender, assistant editor, Makeup.com
