I Had a Dermatologist Critique My Skincare Routine, and I Learned a Lot

I explained to Dr. Bhanusali that instead of using a clay mask all over my face, I'd been opting to use it as a spot treatment and washing off after a few minutes. Bhanusali recommended I go back to the conventional way of using masks to get the oil-absorbing benefit on my entire face but limit my usage to once or twice a week. "I usually recommend masking once or twice a week depending on the skin type," he said.
