One of the oldest skin care methods involves using clay or mud masks. The origins of this method can be traced back hundreds of years ago. In fact, it is said that even Cleopatra used a dead sea mud mask to maintain her beauty. In modern times, this type of mask is now formulated with more ingredients. Popular variations of clay face masks include bentonite and kaolin, which are both beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin types. Both elements help remove toxins, but since these can also parch the skin, people with dry skin should avoid masks containing them.


2. Sheet Mask

South Korea’s influence goes beyond K-drama and Kpop and into the realm of skin care. In fact, along with Japan, the country is credited for coming up with and popularizing sheet masks. Unlike the other items on this list, this type of mask has different kinds of methods of skin care. For dry skin, look for a sheet mask with aloe vera and hyaluronic on the ingredients, as these two elements help in hydration. For acne-prone skin, try looking for sheet masks with tea tree oil, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation, or salicylic acid, which can unclog pores.

Charcoal has been used for medicinal purposes over the years, mainly to remove toxins from the body. Now, activated charcoal is also used for dental and skin care. Charcoal is excellent for detoxifying the skin from harsh toxins and other impurities. It will work best for oily-skinned folks since it can shrink pores and lessen sebum production. With charcoal’s antibacterial properties, this type of face mask could also help decrease acne by drawing out bacteria from the pores.


5. Peel-off Mask
