8 Face Masks
for All Your Beauty Needs

By Andy Flores

A couple of years ago, face masks were a simple endeavor; you could either whip up your own in the kitchen or buy a basic facial pack at the store. But with beauty brands stepping up their skincare game, we now have a wide range of face masks to choose from.

From innovative peel-off packs, sheet masks, and ones featuring unusual key ingredients (like snail slime), choosing the right one is officially a beauty crisis.

So, how do you choose the right mask for your needs? It’s actually simpler than you think: once you have identified your pressing skin issue, finding the right mask to address it is a breeze.

Here are our top picks.

8. For oily skin

The key to fighting oiliness is to use a formulated mask that can eliminate the skin’s impurities and clear your pores. Innisfree’s Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask is a 6-in-1 treatment clay mask with volcanic cluster capsules that absorb sebum and cleanse pores.

7. For acne problems

For non-serious acne problems, a mask with antibacterial properties can rid you of occasional spots or breakouts. Etude House AC Clean-Up Pink Powder Mask is a wash-off mask that contains calamine and sulfur to instantly soothe problem areas. It also contains Kaolin clay, which acts as a cleansing agent that draws out excess sebum and impurities from your pores. If acne persists, it’s best to go see a dermatologist.

6. For large pores

Minimize the appearance of your pores with a mask that contains an absorbent type of clay called bentonite—which is found in Tony Moly’s Egg Pore Tightening Pack. This wash-off mask also contains egg elements, camellia flower extract and Kaolin clay. It helps minimize the look of pores and draw out impurities while smoothing, soothing, and controlling sebum.

Banila Co.’s Bird’s Nest Forever Young Multi-Care Hydrogel Mask is a high-performance, multi-benefit gel mask that contains a blend of Swiftlet Nest Extract and Gold Pearl Complex to revitalize the skin. Another active ingredient is sialic acid, which enhances the firmness of the skin and its natural, luminous glow.
