Acne prone skin and oily skin need their own type of face masks. You wouldn’t want to irritate the current situation on your face. You’ll need formulations with ingredients such as lavender oil, African black soap, kaolin clay, green tea and more. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
The healer:

If you have acne you might have a combination of current and previous acne in the form of scarring. So you will need a mask that can combat more than one problem at a time, this mask can do that for you.
The formulation of this mask contains lavender oil which is beneficial as it helps heal wounds. Price wise it’s easy on the pockets and will help for an occasional pick me up. It smells beautiful and soothing, this aromatherapy will make you feel relaxed. This mask contains sea salt so I wouldn’t recommend it if you have sensitive skin.
Dark spot corrector:

African black soap has been used to give people very beautiful skin, shea moisture has brought African black soap in the form of a mask and we are loving it
This mask will do 2 things in one. Firstly it will clarify your skin quite well. Secondly, it will lighten up dark spots. The formulation contains a natural form of alpha hydroxy acid, this works to remove any pesky dead skin cells in your pores. This results in dark spots being lightened as old skin is removed and new fresh skin starts to come to the surface.

The deep clean:

This product has lactic acid as one of the ingredients as well as salicylic acid. These two work to remove dead skin cells and extract impurities within pores. This formula is also made up of ingredients like green tea, Irish moss extract, and eucalyptus which have natural antiseptic properties and absorb any excess oil that might be left on your face.
The sensitive one:

It is rich in antioxidants derived from grapes, the same type found in wines. These antioxidants prevent and stop the growth of acne-causing bacteria. This is also a wonderful option to go for if you want an anti-aging mask that can also will reduce inflammation caused by acne.
The sheet mask:
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Clearing Solution Ultra-Fine Microfibre Sheet Mask
Sheet masks are fun and easy to use. The serums in sheet masks are packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals which your skin will soak up. This option my Dr. Jart+ is my favorite.
This mask contains niacinamide, salicylic acid, and tea tree to name a few ingredients. The niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory agent that will reduce any current acne. The salicylic acid will exfoliate your skin leaving it baby soft. The tea tree is responsible for (and very effective in) getting rid of any bacteria that might cause acne on the face.
The ultimate mattifier:
L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Purity Mask
This is one of the first masks you’ll see and find at the drugstore and that’s a great thing. This line of mask comes in 3 varieties but this one is the one for oily skin. A plus is that it looks and feels quite luxurious too
The mask contains kaolin, Moroccan lava, eucalyptus, and montmorillonite. These ingredients will ensure that all the excess oil, dirt bacteria and any other toxins in your skin will be pulled out.
