Oily skin: The best choice is a mask that is clay or mud-based. Clay absorbs excess oils and clears and prevents blackheads. Oily skin also does well with facial masks based on lemon, tomato, potato and witch hazel. Oatmeal is also an ideal ingredient for oily skin.

Dry skin: The best choice is a moisturizing mask. These facial masks clean deep down, while adding moisture to the skin. Moisturizing masks are left on the face for 10 or 15 minutes, gently rubbed into the skin before removing. These masks plump and soften the skin, leaving a noticeable difference when used regularly. Facial masks made with yogurt, avocado, olive oil or egg are also wonderful to moisturize dry skin.
