Kaley Cuoco's beauty has always felt effortless, and never more so than now when she's been showcasing her laidback, yet polished style during the promo of her new mystery thriller, Vanished.

The Big Bang Theory actress has the sort of radiant, natural looking beauty that so many of us want to emulate and truth be told, it all starts with her glowing, dewy skin. Kaley's long-time makeup artist, Jamie Greenberg, has revealed how the star keeps her complexion looking so plump and hydrated, even after hours of press junkets and flights.

It's no surprise that celebrity makeup artist Jamie had Kaley pop on a hydrating face mask while flying. Flying is notorious for drying out the skin and what better way to keep it plump and juicy - and red carpet ready - than by wearing one?

Jamie handily linked to the face mask in question, and it's ID-ed as the medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Mask, $9.99 / £11.99.

The one-time use mask is easy to slip on while you're whiling away the hours on a flight. Sure, your seatmates might give you a glance but they'll be the ones jealous when you arrive at your destination with glowing, youthful looking complexion.

KALEY'S SKIN FIX: medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Mask

What sets this mask apart from others? Well the price for one, it's super affordable. Secondly, the ingredients. Salmon DNA is a hot trending ingredient in skincare at the moment, and this mask is infused with it in a way that actually strengthens the skin's natural barrier.

As well as strengthening the skin's barrier, the ingredients are designed to even skin tone, shrink enlarged pores and leave the skin with a glass-like glow.

For best results, the mask can be left on overnight (on cleansed skin) or for 3-4 hours; as the ingredients sink into the skin, the pink mask becomes transparent.

The reviews

Amazon shoppers are snapping up these masks, with many commenting that they now use it as part of their weekly skincare routine, or for pre-party prep.

"It’s like giving your skin a big drink of water!" wrote one shopper. "What I love most about this mask is how nourishing it feels - perfect for when your skin needs a pick-me-up, especially after a long day or during harsh weather."

Another commented: "I wake up with skin that has been blessed by a thousand angels. Glowing, smooth, radiant - hydration dreams come true!"

On the whole, reviews are emphatically positive with only a handful mentioning a few downsides of the mask.

Pros:

  • Amazon shoppers reported radiant, glowing skin post-use
  • Easy to use
  • Sulfate / paraben free

Cons:

  • Some found the ingredients too 'sticky'
  • Single-use
  • Has to be left on for at least three hours

Budget-Friendly Alternative

These are already on the more affordable end of skincare, and finding even cheaper alternatives isn't easy. Amazon stocks the YAFUSIPE Salmon DNA PDRN Collagen Face Mask, costing $12.99 for 10 masks. These score 4.4 out of five, so could be worth a try if you want to give salmon skincare a go.
