Once a week, treat your oily skin to a clay mask.
Clay is great because it absorbs oil like a sponge! Doing this weekly is important to prime your skin for its beauty routine, helping to control oil so that when you do wear makeup, it is less prone to run.
Kaolin clay, commonly found in cosmetics, is especially good for use in masks as it absorbs oil and prevents pimples because it’s antimicrobial.
When using a clay mask, never let it dry completely before washing off. I know that sounds a little crazy, but it really works better if you don’t let it become gross and flaky. The reason: when the clay is still a bit wet, your skin is busy absorbing its beautifying minerals, but when it becomes flaky it starts attracting your skin’s moisture to it, leaving your skin dry and irritated—not a good thing. So, wash it off before your skin starts feeling tight.
