Some masks can also be used as scrubs. They can be applied on the face, left on for some time and then be used to gently exfoliate the facial skin.

Sulphur-based clay masks can be used to clear acne. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizing exfoliating mask and use a moisturizer after you have cleaned that off. Whiteheads and blackheads can be removed with the use of a Beta Hydroxy Acid mask.
For those who have acne or pigmentation marks or even sun spots on their face, an alpha hydroxyl acid- based mask can be very useful. Fruit enzyme exfoliating masks are excellent for removing dead surface-skin cells. These are very gentle and are perfect for sensitive skin. You should also look for pH balanced masks. A mask that has a 3.5-4.5 pH level will not irritate the skin. Some masks also have tiny grains in them. These particles could be in the form of miniature beads and they help in exfoliating the skin gently as you scrub the mask off your face.
If you use a good mask, there is no need to use a toner. Though a lot of people feel they are excellent for the skin, many dermatologists feel that a good cleanser is more than enough o give you clean and clear skin. Moisturizing the skin is also very important. Regardless of what your skin type is, moisturizing helps in keeping the facial skin supple and smooth. Even those who have oily skin can benefit from using a moisturizer. Refrain from over-moisturizing your face. It will end up clogging your facial pores and can lead to acne.
