One quick and easy method to balance the oils in your skin is by using a clay mask regularly. It rids your skin of the excess undesirable oil. Today, in the market a variety of readymade clay masks are already available, but in case you want to try the ones at home, here I have a list of best clay mask for oily skin that you can make at home and also buy from the market.

How to effectively use a clay mask?

Important: One essential tip that you must always keep in mind while using a mask, the application and removal of the same. The three phases of a clay mask are the wet phase (after application), the cool phase (the start of dry phase) and the dry phase. Do a touch test, when the mask feels a tad sticky but almost dry, rinse your face. Too much drying of the mask, especially when it becomes flaky, will rid your skin of moisture and make it dry and irritable.
