If you have oily or acne-prone skin, your first line of defense against breakouts should be a daily skincare regimen that decongests pores and exfoliates skin. Facial masks help supplement your daily skincare regimen by delivering additional key ingredients to exfoliate, detoxify, and balance the skin.
When searching for face masks for acne-prone skin, it is especially important to look for ingredients that exfoliate dead skin cells to help prevent clogged pores from occurring. This includes formulas containing hydroxy acids such as lactic, citric, and glycolic acid. Facial masks formulated with natural earth clays such as kaolin and bentonite are also recommended, as they absorb excess oil and help decongest pores.
