The power of clay in a great mask will do wonders for your skin. Used once or twice a week, it can help to detoxify your skin, refine pores and tighten the skin. It’s great for those with combination skin and those who are prone to  breakouts.

We’ve picked our favourite clay masks at every price point that have been tried and tested with proven results!

1.GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD CLEARING MASK

Most masks that are called mud masks actually have clay in them with the most popular type being the skin softening types; bentonite clay and kaolin clay.

The supermud clearing mask from Glamglow is worth all the hype and attention. It’s perfect for those with oily and combination skin and works really well for reducing blemishes when used as a spot treatment at night.

2. The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask

Our Editor’s Pick!

This is a great dupe of the glamglow supermud even down to the scent. This 100% vegan clay mask is infused with bamboo charcoal, green tea leaves and organic tea tree and formulated without parabens, silicone and mineral oil. This is really effective at absorbing excess oil and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and soft.
