These are the face masks you should add to your skin care routine |
What's big, red, and inflamed all around? Acne! And if you're planning on getting clear skin anytime soon, you're going to want to include an acne face mask in your beauty routine like now.
As anyone who finally got rid of acne will tell you, finally achieving clear skin is going to require more than a three step approach.
Why? Well your cleanser, toner, and moisturizer may simply not be enough to tame breakouts. That's where a good acne mask comes in. Face masks are designed to not only hydrate, but also treat skin concerns. They're also pretty good at unclogging pores too.
Not all acne face masks are created equal, however, so we decided to help you out and compile a list of the best ones. Check it out!
