Martha Stewart, 83, uses this prized collagen mask that's on Black Friday sale for $12

Martha Stewart must've done something right in a former life, because the gods seem to have made her age-proof. As the new documentary "Martha" (out now on Netflix) proves, the former model and forever mogul has seriously glowing skin. One reason she looks incredible at 83? Decades of facials at Mario Badescu's skin care salon. In fact, her facialist shared the star's go-tos, and one major step in her routine is the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask, which you can try for only $12 (down from $20) now at Amazon as part of Black Friday sales.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Many celeb-beloved treatments and products can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars — meanwhile, the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask will only set you back $12, a 40% discount and the lowest price we've seen in quite a while. Sweet savings on some major skin care? That's what we'd call a "good thing."

Why do I need this? 🤔

Martha Stewart's facialist, Carmela Barabas, shared why she trusts the collagen mask on the icon's near-perfect skin with Vogue UK: "[It] restores skin texture and skin elasticity." Indeed, the mask is specially made for both mature and sensitive skin, created to tighten, nourish and purify an aging epidermis with the benefits of collagen and kaolin clay. These skin-loving ingredients help to draw out oil and impurities from tired pores, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Soothing oatmeal and nutrient-rich red algae extract are also in the mix to help lift up dull, dry complexions.

Using the mask is easy: Just apply a thin layer of the product to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Wait 20 minutes for it to work its magic, then rinse. That's it! You're on your way to cleaner pores and tighter, firmer skin.

What reviewers say 💬

Martha Stewart isn't the only superfan of the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask — nearly 1,800 Amazon shoppers have given this favorite a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

"This tightened my skin and got rid of the bags under my eyes," marveled one shopper. "It takes a week to start seeing results, but it really does work and is 100% worth the money."

"I'm 61, the skin on my face was very dry, even chapped-looking ... I read that this was the product to try, and when I did, wow!" enthused another reviewer. "Great results, after over a month of using it three times a week, my skin is soft, even dewy ... it's really unbelievable. I'm ordering more so I don't run out!"

One fan even used the mask in their ongoing weight-loss journey: "I bought this because as I'm losing weight, I have loose skin on my face. This tightened my skin and got rid of the bags under my eyes," they shared. "It takes a week to start seeing results, but it really does work and is 100% worth the money."

Cons 👎

One user noted that their "only negative is if you use it too often your skin does feel dryer," but added, "I use it two times a week and love it. ... I see a noticeable improvement."

Opinion on the product's scent also seems to be divided, with some users noting that it has a fragrance but doesn't bother them — while others call out the scent as a detractor. "Product has a distinct fishy/unpleasant smell. Makes sense because of its ingredients. But, as someone with a super-sensitive nose and a lifelong dislike of all things fishy, I can tolerate it," wrote a customer. "Seems to be producing results, so I am willing to accept the 20 minutes of occasional bad whiffs..."

In 2022, Martha's longtime makeup artist Daisy Toye explained how she creates more dramatic makeup looks for the mogul, starting with this velvety smooth, waterproof eyeliner (specifically this warm mahogany shade, Bronzed). "I can persuade Martha to do a smoky eye for a special occasion," she said, "but she always prefers a subtler, not-too-done-up look."
