Top 5 Face Masks For Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, it can be difficult to find a face mask that isn't going to exacerbate your oiliness, but won't dry out your skin either. We decided to find the top 5 face masks for oily skin based on the best ingredients that help to control and manage excess oil so you can understand how each one works and choose one that is suitable for your skin type.

Many face masks for oily skin contain oil-absorbing ingredients such as Clay and Salicyic Acid. While these are brilliant at helping to mattify your complexion and give you a smooth finish, it is important to make sure that you rehydrate your skin afterwards. This is due to the fact that when your skin believes that oil is being taken away, it can produce more to overcompensate. So, once you've treated it to a mask, make sure you add some hydration back in so you don't undo the mask's hard word!

This is a type of White Clay, which works to absorb excess oil and help mattify the skin. Out of all the clays, White Kaolin is the most gentle and therefore great to use if you have sensitive skin. As it is more gentle than the others, it doesn't absorb as much oil, so if you suffer from mild oiliness, this is the ingredient for you. If you want a stronger face mask for excess oiliness, then opt for Red Clay, which is discussed below. We love: The Gallinée La Culture Face Mask and Scrub contains a blend of White Kaolin, Vitamin E, Sea Minerals and Prebiotics to absorb excess oiliness whilst nourishing and protecting your skin.
