Face Masks for Acne-Prone Skin Skin Concern: Acne-prone skin is sensitive in its own way, because it overreacts to an unbalanced moisture level. To keep sore, reactive skin clear and calm, avoid oil-stripping ingredients as well as pore-clogging balms, says Dakar. Acne-prone skin needs calming ingredients like rose that are effective for all skin types, including mature skin.
Mask Formula: "My favorite type of mask for acne-prone skin is a gentle, clay-based one, because they are wonderful at absorbing excess oil and refining the skin," says Dakar.
How to Apply: Apply mask to the t-zone: forehead, nose and jawline -- or wherever you get breakouts.
Try: Fig + Yarrow Clay Mask in Rose, $18, which gently lifts out impurities from your pores. Rose clay is less harsh than black volcanic clay masks, and offers moisture in addition to suctioning out your clog-prone pores.
Murad Clarifying Mask, $37, helps fight blemishes with sulfur, while zinc oxide and licorice root soothe irritated skin. Use this mask for 10 minutes once a week to tone down your breakouts.
