Self care with a clay mask
There's nothing quite like a pampering clay mask, especially when you're dealing with a sudden breakout of acne or your skin is feeling oily. But do they really do that much for your skin? And how do clay masks work?

Which clay should you actually use?
There are many different types of clay. The key to clay masks is finding the right kind for your skin type.
