Martha Stewart’s beauty secret for radiant skin at age 85 hits ‘lowest price’

“I love this product. It seems to tighten up my wrinkles, and give me a younger look.”

When it comes to skincare, Martha Stewart’s routine is one worth paying attention to. Back in 2023, the lifestyle expert revealed 15 of the products she “can’t live without” to the editors at MarthaStewart.com – and one of her top picks was a surprisingly affordable face mask.

The Mario Basescu Super Collagen Mask, which is now at its ‘lowest price’ on Amazon at £14.99, is a treatment designed to leave skin looking smoother and brighter. It’s ideal for anyone with mature skin looking to give their complexion a little extra care.

In Martha’s skincare round-up, she revealed the Maria Badescu Super Collagen Mask comes from one of her favourite skincare brands, and noted that she has been getting facials from Mario Badescu in New York for years. The mask is aimed at combination, dry and sensitive skin, with ingredients such as soothing oatmeal to help reduce the appearance of redness and irritation.

The formula is also said to tighten and firm skin and cleanse pores without it feeling overly dry. Mature complexions can often benefit from skincare that focuses on comfort, softness and hydration rather than harsh stripping treatments.

As skin matures, it can become drier and more prone to showing signs of dehydration, while texture and dullness can become more noticeable. It is not a specific anti-ageing product, however, it does focus on smoothing, cleansing and conditioning making it appealing for skin that looks tired or lacklustre.

The product has attracted thousands of rating on Amazon. One person wrote: “Good mask and excellent value for money. It smooths the skin and gives a fresher appearance.”

A second buyer said: “A gentle clay mask that will not leave your skin red and depleted, it has a hydrating quality that makes it nice on the skin. Better than a harsh charcoal mask, and cleans clogged pores. Also good value, it will last a month or more if used once a week.”

Other face masks that shoppers could incorporate into their skincare routines include the No7 Good Intent Bouncy Jelly Mask (£14.95 at Boots). A bouncy, jelly mask, it gives a comforting layer on the skin for pillowy skin softness.

There’s also the BYOMA Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask (£16.99 at Cult Beauty). Formulated using Tri-Ceramide’s, it is designed to boost the skin barrier without causing break-outs.

Leaving some feedback for the Mario Badescu mask, a three star reviewer explained: “It definitely did help clean my skin and keep the moisture in, but I don’t think this is something that I would use often, just for the fear of clogging my pores when I have to wash off the mask afterwards. It also doesn’t really have an extra plasticky piece to seal in the moisture, so I’ve been noticing that the mask has started to dry out in the jar.”

Giving a mature shoppers point of view, someone shared: “I love this product. It seems to tighten up my wrinkles, and give me a younger look.”

Another person shared similar thoughts with: “First off, I’m 50 with years of religiously studied and tailored skincare routines and my personal esthetician background experience. I have used this mask once a week so far and decided to add maybe a quarter of a pea-sized spot of this into my skincare cream for the daytime and have watched my forehead creases that bother me become less prominent and softer.”
