We have reached the final week of our How To Look After Your Skin on a Budget series. We have been lucky enough to find some incredible treatments that are not only good for your skin, but affordable options and this week is no different.
Antioxidant Green Tea Essence Mask by Beauugreen
Another offering from the Korean Beauty brand BeauuGreen, is this green teas mask to help enrich the skin, soothe and calm the skin as well as nourish and moisturise.
When it comes to the skin, green tea is used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. This means that it helps to reduce the damage and stress caused by oxidation, soothing and calming skin that has been damaged by the environment.
The Mask
When the mask was opened there was a slightly flowery scent, it was not particularly strong and I found it quite pleasant. It had been sealed in foiled packaging, much like the previous BeauuGreen masks we have looked at, and was soaked in the treatment leaving plenty of excess in the packet once removed. This was done being careful not to drip it on clothing or furniture and placed over the face, the mask adhering with ease to every little bump and groove.
This time the mask did feel cooling to the touch, but seemed slightly more wet that the previous ones that we’ve seen in previous weeks. Also, I did find that this particular mask had a stickier residue compared to the other two. This was not something that lasted for long, but was noticeable whilst applied and shortly after it had been removed.
As previous explained, I have skin that is dry and temperamental, I routinely suffer with random patches of red skin that can be itchy and uncomfortable. I found that the Green Tea Essence Mask soothed my skin and left it feeling calm and revitalised. My skin was clear and even, feeling smooth to the touch and nourished.
Was it Worth it?
Definitely! Another fantastic budget find that can added to my weekly routine at a reasonable and affordable price. I found the mask to me relaxing and felt not just refreshed where my skin was concerned, but my brain had a little happy boost too!

Simple have such a lovely range of products, particularly for sensitive skin!
Following on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook andTwitter.
It make sense that Green Tea would be good for our skin because it is good for our insides! I like the Weleda products, they are very moisturising and my skin is very dry.
Yes! Green Tea is fantastic all around. I don’t think any of the team use Weleda, we will have to check them out!
My go to budget skin care is CeraVe cleanser, moisturiser, face cream and eyecream.
I make my own toner. It’s only two ingredients of rosewater and distilled water. You can a drink of pil in it if you wish.
I used to use high end skin products. I had to change to very gentle products because I starting using a tretnoin prescription based anti aging cream..
CeraVe was recommended. I would not go back to my others now
I’m following on Twitter, Threads, Instagram, Tiktox and Facebook. Facebook is the name that will show on here.
I love this writing style you have set up for your blog too
I’ve not heard of that before, I will definitely have a look.
Rosewater is amazing, I used to have rosewater in all my skincare products! I may have to try the toner, we have a series about home made remedies!
Thank you, for your kind words!
Above that should say “a drop of oil” not what it says, in second paragraph down
I have aged skin and my favourite if the moment is Revitalift. I have followed on Threads
I have heard great things about Revitalift, not tried it myself though.
Simple Moisturising Facial Wash
Yes, I love Simple products they are wonderful for sensitive skin!
I like trying new things, but I also know at the same time that my skin really loves the Simple range of skin care
I absolutely understand that. My skin is sensitive so trying out new products can be an issue. Simple has a fantastic range and their products are always in my bathroom!
Simple Moisturising Facial Wash easy to use great value
Simple seem to be a really popular brand, one I use myself. They are fantastic for sensitive skin!
I love Aldi night cream
I’ve actually heard quite a few great things about Aldi products!
You can’t beat Simple products for quality and price. Following on Instagram (@poppyjoey)
Simple is definitely a winner with our readers!
My budget skincare product is coconut oil as it has so many uses!
Following on Instagram as @dianenotherday
It really is so versatile!
In all honesty. Suncream! I put suncream on my face and neck everyday.
I do love carbon theory facial wash, which has charcoal and tea tree oil. Both ingredients I love . Following on Facebook:)
Suncream is totally workable! What a fantastic idea to use it! Ohh I am a fan of charcoal too!
My absolute must have is Simple facial wipes, my 13 year old son has severe learning difficulties, he is prone to spots and doesn’t have that much patience for skincare. Each evening during his bedtime routine we use a wipe each to clear the day away. I love Simple products & I usually get these when they are on offer too.
Following you on twitter @fdrinkell
That is a fantastic way to incorporate the routine for your son. I love the facial wipes also, Simple is such a fantastic brand!
I love to use Kind to Skin Moisturising Face Wash.
Following on Instagram.
I’ve not heard of them before, will have to check them out!
Nivea products for me!
Nivea are amazing!
I always try and have a big tub of the Nivea moisturiser with Vitamin E and Jojoba oil around the house as it helps to rescue my dry skin! I followed on Instagram (@violetphillippo).
Vitamin E is brilliant! Love Nivea.
Simple Moisturising Facial Wash
Simple are definitely out in front with the recommendations!
Cien Q10 Night & Day Creams from Lidl.
Some of Lidl’s products are incredible!
Interesting article with lots of good ideas. I look forward to trying some of the products
Weleda skin food is so nourishing for my dry skin. Lasts for ever because it is wonderfully rich. Following on Insta and Facebook.
That is always a bonus when they go a long way! Nivea night cream is the same!
I use olay moisturiser as a simple no-nonsense ‘go-to’ and it is their basic product rather than any of the fancy new ones so it is a budget option too. Following on Twitter.
Sounds fantastic would love to try it!
I love trying new products but my go to is always blue lid Nivea!
Yes, they are fantastic for nourishing the skin!
Our winner is Maya Russell!! Well done Maya and thank you everyone for entering! Don’t forget our other competitions we have running, and there is a HUGE one launching very soon!
