The 17 Best Clay Face Masks That'll Destroy Your Zits and Oil

Hot little tip: If you're looking for an easy way to treat your oily T-zone or perpetually shiny chin, you should def consider adding a clay face mask to your routine. According to dermatologist Mona Gohara, MD, associate clinical professor at Yale School of Medicine, clay is a godsend for oily and acne-prone skin, thanks to its ability to gently absorb any excess oil hanging out on your face. And since the majority of clay face masks are also spiked with hardworking ingredients like exfoliating salicylic acid, soothing niacinamide, or hydrating aloe vera, they're also pretty easy to customize to your skin's exact needs.

There's really only one caveat: Dr. Gohara says clay is a bit too harsh for skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, and they should only be added to your routine once a week max to avoid drying out your skin. Down to give one a try? Yeah, thought so, which is why I went ahead and rounded up the 17 best clay face masks of all damn time, below.
