Own October With These Life-Changing New Beauty Buys

You know how I know my skin is dry? Because I can slather on the heaviest cream in my repertoire — literally let it sit on top, without so much as rubbing it in — and my skin sucks it up like there's no tomorrow.

I've found cloth masks have been my saving grace. (At least when it comes to replenishing my skin with moisture.) Hada Labo Tokyo's Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial Masks (four for $15) are full of everything your skin needs in your late 20s: hyaluronic acid, soy peptides to help boost collagen production, and vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that protects your skin for cell deterioration. (Scary, right?)

Leave them on for 10 minutes — I like to apply after the shower, before I go to bed — then pat the serum into your skin and go to sleep!
