It's time to reconsider mud and clay masks — these new formulas are nothing like what you used in middle school

Skin-Calming Mud Mask
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.

Electrically Charged Clay Mask
Many masks claim to "pull" impurities from your pores, but Botanics Ionic Clay Mask Shine Away, $9, has a negative electrical charge to really get the job done. And it's made with oceanic clay that fights breakouts without being drying.

Hydrating Mud Sheet Mask
Patchology Smartmud, $30, contains volcanic ash, charcoal and kaolin clay to detoxify the skin, but it's also packed with glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen to moisturize and plump. And the gray sheet mask is fun and easy to use with zero mess.
