Face Masks for Oily Skin Skin Concern: According to Villafranco, oily skin can sometimes be a symptom of not moisturizing the skin enough. "To me, shunning oil is parallel to the fat-free dietary craze, which we have now realized is an absurd way to eat." Just as your body needs good fat, your skin needs good oil. Stripping oil from the skin makes it create more sebum, which will leave you oilier, she explains. Likewise, applying the right oil to the skin can leave skin balanced and beautiful.
Mask Formula: A mask rich in replenishing, lightweight oils like jojoba and tea tree will help balance out oily skin. Steer clear of pore-clogging ingredients like beeswax, which Dakar says will only make oily skin worse.
How to Apply: After cleansing the skin, while your skin is still warm, apply the mask to the entire face and neck, avoiding the eyes. "Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, and spritz the face occasionally with mineral water or a gentle toner," says Villafranco. Remove the mask with a warm rinse or cloth, and then splash cool water on the skin. While the skin is still damp, follow with your moisturizer or serum.
Try: The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask, $16.50 -- this clay-based mask clarifies skin and heads off pimples with the help of antibacterial and antimicrobial tea tree oil.
Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask, $70, has citric acid to help mildly exfoliate clogged pores.
