Clay and charcoal work together in the L'Oreal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Detox and Brighten Treatment, $12.99, to pull nasty things like dirt and pollution out of your pores. And the ultra creamy masks never gets dry and tight. Rinse it off after 10 minutes, and you may not even need moisturizer.

Mud Mask in Gel Form
Volition Detoxifying Silt Gelee, $60, is so much more than a basic mud or clay mask -- mostly because it's made with black silt that comes from the bottom of a lake in Finland. The unusual ingredient is high in minerals and nutrients that help balance out your skin. Plus, the gel is wildly hydrating thanks to jojoba oil and quinoa.

If you have red, irritated skin, Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Hydrating Mud Mask, $14.99, is the mask for you. It's packed with organic, hydrating shea and cocoa butters as well as anti-inflammatory frankincense and myrrh extract. And, of course, it has mud to help clarify while it calms.

The Mud Mask That's Also a Cleanser
If you've ever felt too time-strapped to do a face mask (who hasn't?), Garnier SkinActive Pore Purifying 2-in-1 Clay Cleanser/Mask, $7.99, is for you. It has kaolin clay and charcoal, making it ideal for breakout-prone skin, and you can use it as your regular cleanser or leave it on as a deep treatment mask.

Perfect-for-Travel Clay Mask
If aging is your top skin concern, this clay mask is an excellent pick. The formula contains exfoliating glycolic acid, retexturizing quartz and moisturizing jojoba oil. But the best thing about Bliss Multi-Face-eted Anti-Aging Clay Mask Travel Packettes, $15, is that it comes in teabag-size servings -- because masking is always more fun in a hotel bathroom.
