If you have oily skin, using a face mask can clear out your pores, refine them and draw out impurities in your skin that are causing breakouts. You should use a face mask one to two times a week for best results.
We feel a face mask is a splurge-worthy skin care product because you only use it a few times a month, thus ensuring the product lasts longer than, say your facial cleanser. Plus, most masks for oily skin can be used specifically as a spot treatment making them last much, much longer.
Try one of these 12 Face Masks for Oily Skin and watch your skin improve over time.

Salicylic acid can sometimes be harsh on skin, so the fact that this mask also contains aloe vera to soothe makes it a good choice for sensitive but oily skin. Suggested use is twice a week, and you'll have to make time because it needs to stay on for 20 to 30 minutes.
