When you're strapped for time, try this 60-second oxygenating lavender face mask. It bubbles up almost immediately once you apply it. Bentonite and kaolin clays work to detoxify pores while witch hazel tones and mattifies and a soothing blend of botanicals calms stressed-out skin. Try it in the a.m. to prep skin before makeup for smooth, even application.
If you're looking for a natural, gentle solution to congested skin and clogged pores, this dual purpose mask-scrub is the ticket. Papaya enzymes and Aspen bark are natural exfoliants that work to promote cell turnover and unclog pores. Other natural ingredients like peppermint oil fight excess oil production, while turmeric brightens and fights hyperpigmentation and rosehip seeds physically exfoliate skin. The result is smooth, glowy skin and clear pores.
We love a good multipurpose product like this mask-cleanser duo from Neutrogena. The tingly mint-scented multitasker wakes up the senses while it goes to work on pores without stripping the skin. It contains a blend of glycolic and salicylic acids that exfoliate and decongest pores while kaolin and bentonite clays detoxify. Use it daily as a face wash or several times a week as a five-minute mask to treat dullness and flare-ups.
As with most Too Cool For School Products, this mask is super fun to use. It applies like a soft, foamy shaving cream and dries down to a firm, crackly finish. The soothing clay formula works to exfoliate and hydrate skin, leaving it deeply cleansed, dewy, plump and with less noticeable pores.
This tingly, cooling mask was inspired by the "cold plunge" step in Scandinavian sauna tradition. It's full of soothing botanicals that work to heal problem skin and produce a mattifying effect for up to eight hours. Neem seed oil leaves skin soft and supple, while AHAs and BHAs encourage cell turnover, keeping pores clear and less noticeable. The turquoise mask makes for some great selfies and washes off easily with water.
