If you're dealing with blemishes, we feel your struggle. We too want to banish clogged pores and stop pimples in their tracks. Plus, for some reason, our skin has been acting up in self-isolation. Call it stress breakouts, or maybe even breakouts from your mask, but even those of us who haven't previously struggled with acne are finding new spots to deal with.
Though the most effective way to address acne is with a targeted treatment regimen, you can also boost your skin-clearing results with a face mask. Use one of these 21 options weekly for longer-lasting results, no matter your skin type. Whatever kind of spots you're battling, these masks are here to help.
