Hi! I am back with some affordable herbal face masks for oily acne prone skin. The oil produced by our body helps to keep our skin healthy and hydrated. However, too much oil can lead to clogged pores, acne and blemishes. Oily skin requires proper skincare routine to keep oils, blemishes and pimples under control. I have super oily and acne prone skin and I am very particular about my skincare. While cleansing, toning and moisturizing are the three basic steps in skincare, masking is very important too. And this I have learned from experience. A simple DIY clay mask also helps.
Masking has done wonders to my skin, especially clay masks. Clay helps in healing and treating various skin conditions. Clay masking it a popular treatment for oily skin. It helps to absorb excess oil and deep cleanse the pores. Clay also helps in preventing blackheads and whiteheads that turn into pimples. The moral of the story is use clay masks twice a week to control oil and prevent acne.
If you are a regular reader, you will know that I love using clay masks. Regular use of clay masks have transformed my skin to a more soft, smooth and acne free. I don’t say I have a perfectly flawless and dreamy skin, but it is far better than what it used to be. So, today I want to share some of the affordable herbal face masks that are fabulous and made with all natural ingredients.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask – The tea tree oil face mask by The Body Shop with it’s cooling, healing and soothing properties is one of the best if you are suffering with acne and pimples. Tea tree oil is known for it anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It helps to clear impurities while absorbing excess oil and sebum, without drying the skin. Regular use prevents acne and pimples while also helps to clear the acne marks and spots. I have been using this mask for a long time and have a detail review.
Jovees Insta Fair Licorice Glow Pack – Another long time favorite of mine. It helps to reduce the production of melanin and helps improve the texture of the skin. Its regular use leads to a fairer, radiant and glowing skin. Even though it is a clay mask it does not dry the skin and helps get rid of acne spots effectively.
Raintech Herbals Pure & Natural Double Filtered Rose Petal Powder – All natural chemical free rose petal powder is great for DIY masks. I am a big fan of making my own face masks by mixing clay, rose water, witch hazel and other ingredients that is available in our kitchen. Using rose powder in face masks has many benefits. Being a natural cleanser it helps to gently exfoliate the skin, lighten dark spots, improve complexion and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. A simple DIY mask by mixing rose petal powder, clay (multani mitti) and rose water/yoghurt/honey/milk, is also a very effective face mask for oily skin. When I tried using a rose clay mask I fell in love with it. Besides the rose scent is very relaxing.
Mamaearth Vitamin C Face Mask – It is another fabulous face mask that I have tried and love it. Packed with goodness of Kaolin clay and Vitamin C it helps to prevent acne and regular use helps to get rid of uneven skin tone while adding radiance to your skin.
Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Pack – The neem pack is one of the powerful face masks that I have tried along with Aztec Indian healing clay. The neem pack sucks in all the dirt, oil and skin pollutants effectively. This formulation is great for combating bacteria and helps to get rid of acne and dark spots. But this mask dries the skin, so it is important that you use a moisturizer or a hydrating mask after using it. The other face masks by the brand that are very good too.
Vaadi Herbals Chandan Kesar Haldi Face Pack – A gentle, effective and affordable face mask that smells good too. I am a big fan of sandalwood and have used it for years to get rid of acne. The fabulous formulation of sandalwood, turmeric and saffron improves complexion significantly. It absorbs excess oil and deep cleans to the pores to prevent acne. It is a great mask and you can use it every day as it does not dry the skin. Regular use brightens the complexion. Besides there is a lot of product in this tub. I have a detail review if you fancy.
Bella Vita Organic Glow Pack – Bella Vita Organics is an upcoming brand that has intrigued me. The glow pack is a mix of all natural ingredients that help fight blemishes, lighten dark spots and helps to remove sun tan. I love making my own face mask.
Soulflower Herbal Clay Mud Mask – This traditional therapeutic grade traditional remedy mask penetrates deeper into the skin deep cleaning the pores and reducing excess oil. It also gets rid of dead skin revealing brighter more radiant complexion. It is great for all skin types as it does not dry the skin. However, it is very good for oily acne prone skin.

It draws out deep seated impurities and helps to refine and minimize pores while controlling the excess oil. It also helps to fade acne scars and helps to even complexion.

Packed with all natural ingredients it is a great mask to get a brighter more radiant skin over time.

It is blended with juices of pineapple, tomato, lemon etc. that help to visibly brighten the skin and get rid of dark spots. Regular use gives a soft, smooth and radiant skin. Besides it is highly rated on Amazon India.

They are all tried and tested and have helped in preventing acne, controlling oils and giving a more clear and radiant complexion. However, skincare is a very slow process but you will see promising results over time. I also want to share an important tip – always use a moisturizer after using a clay mask. I always get my face masks from Amazon India but most of them are available at your nearest drugstores.
Until next time stay safe, healthy, bright and beautiful! 🙂
