Can Sheet Masks Really Help Our Skin? Dermatologists Weigh In

For times in which skin looks bit greasy or pores seem bigger than we want them to appear, Dr. Waldorf suggests turning to masks made with exfoliators like salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acid; purifiers, like clay; and antibacterial or anti-inflammatory ingredients like zinc and sage. The Creme Shop Badtz Maru Detox Rocks! Sheet Mask ($4) includes bentonite and charcoal to help pull excess oil from skin and help shrink the look of pores. Talika Bubble Mask Bio-Detox ($10) innovatively pairs bamboo charcoal with the bubbling action of an oxygen mask to deep clean after a long night.
