We’ll level with you: despite priding ourselves on being skincare gurus here at GLAMOUR, our complexions have not been playing ball recently. Thanks to the rise in humidity and temperature, late nights over the Jubilee weekend and the general stress of daily life (thank you, cost of living crisis), we can’t be the only ones suffering stressed-out, spot-prone skin right now.

Let’s be clear though: breakouts are a totally normal part of being human. Whether you choose to embrace your skin’s embellishments or not is totally up to you, and nothing on our skin should ever be considered a ‘flaw’. That said, breakouts can knock our confidence – and that’s completely normal too. That’s why we’ve been reaching for results-driven yet affordable skincare. One of the brands that has been a staple in our breakout-battling beauty cabinets since we were teens is Neutrogena, and there’s a reason we’ve relied on its products for all these years.

Created alongside dermatologists, Neutrogena uses ever-developing science-backed formulas for different skincare concerns so that everyone can feel confident in their own skin.

The one product we’ve been relying on? The Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Clay Mask. The key aim for top derms when developing this mask’s formula was a focus on ingredients that really work. That’s why turmeric – the ancient root that has long been hailed for its antioxidant, calming (read: purifying and glow-giving) powers – is the key player here. In just three minutes every other day, the Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Clay Mask will help calm the skin for a more balanced, healthy-looking complexion.

The mask helps to absorb pore-clogging excess sebum (oil) that can cause breakouts while helping to preserve essential moisture so that skin doesn’t feel tight or stripped – a common problem with so many masks. In fact, the feeling is quite the opposite; since using the mask, our skin has felt deeply cleansed and clearer, giving it that sought-after glow.

And the best part? This hard-working mask is just £5.99 RRP, meaning clear and healthy-looking skin doesn’t have to break the bank (remember that cost of living crisis we mentioned earlier?). Simply smooth a thin layer over dry skin, then leave it to work its magic for up to three minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use up to three times a week.
