7 Acne-Fighting Face Masks For Your Best Skin Ever

Shrink your pores and banish pimples with these rapid treatments - by Arielle Tsoukatos

7 Acne-Fighting Face Masks For Your Best Skin Ever

When it comes to treating acne-prone skin, sometimes your daily skincare products just don’t cut it. If your blemish-busting regimen is in need of extra supplementation, a face mask packed with potent ingredients may just be the ticket to a clearer complexion.

While many people don't think to try facial masks that calm inflammation and heal breakouts, they can offer rapid results. Infused with anti-bacterial ingredients like charcoal, green tea and honey - these treatments shrink pimples while tackling excess oil and dirt to prevent future breakouts.

To keep pimples at bay you only need to apply a face mask once or twice a week and can be done in 30 minutes. Our love for acne-busting face masks takes many forms, from sheet masks to clay formulas, and everything in between. Read on to discover the best face masks for acne.
