How to Clear Acne with Face Masks

For most people, we experience acne at some point of our lives. And for those who manage to avoid it, well, they are extremely lucky!

Acne is caused by the sebaceous glands reacting to hormones in the blood, producing excess oil and clogging the pores with dead skin cells. The dead skin and excess oils create an ideal environment for the bacteria that causes breakouts to thrive, which causes redness and the development of spots. To help reduce and control acne, a good skin routine needs to be established.

It’s useful to look out for products that help to balance oil production, exfoliate the dead skin cells, and kill bacteria. A weekly (or twice weekly) face mask treatment is brilliant for this if you suffer from acne or problematic skin.

Not sure where to start? Here are our top picks for beating the blemish with face masks:
