Here, we’re breaking down the benefits of every kind mask in skin care and sharing our product picks for each. Clay MasksClay masks act like a magnet to unclog pores and can help balance and mattify oily complexions. Common clays used in face masks are bentonite and kaolin. Some clay masks can be drying, so be sure to hydrate after use. Our product picks: L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Face Mask with Charcoal or Baxter of California Clay Mask AHAGel MasksGel masks can be a great way to both refresh and soothe your skin. These lightweight, hydrating formulas often feature a cooling effect that’s intensified if you store it in the fridge.

In addition to putting you in control of the dosage and texture, we like this type of mask because it often has a longer shelf life than cream or gel counterparts.  Our product pick: Golde Clean Greens Face MaskBody Mask The skin on your body deserves some extra TLC every once in a while, too.
