This can lead to the purchase of costly products that don’t deliver the expected results. To make life easier for you, we are here to provide you with all the information you need to identify and purchase the best natural face masks for your skin type. Whether you’re looking for a daily or weekly deep cleansing product, a calming and soothing hydrator, or a purifying mask that can remove excess oil and grime- we’ve got you covered. Read on to gain insight into which natural face masks will work best for you, as well as some tips and tricks to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy.
Why You Should Use a Natural At-Home Face Mask
At-home natural face masks are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to get a healthy, glowing complexion. The best natural face masks are those that contain natural, plant-based ingredients that are naturally good for your skin and bring multi-correctional benefit. Depending on your skin type and the ingredients you select you natural face mask can help hydrate, nourish, and exfoliate the skin, or all of the above. Natural face masks offer added benefits to your skin, such as vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can help improve skin health and reduce inflammation. They also boost the efficacy of your daily skincare products and and are a great way to give yourself a spa-like pampering in the comfort of your own home.
When it comes to choosing a natural face mask, it’s important to consider your skin type. Those with oily skin may benefit from finding a mask that has ingredients such as clay and bamboo charcoal, which can help to absorb excess oil from the skin. While those with sensitive skin may benefit from a boost of topical pre and probiotics and those with dry skin may benefit from moisturising ingredients olive squalene and hyaluronic acid.
In addition to finding a natural face mask that’s suited to your skin type, you should also look for one that has beneficial ingredients that offer anti-ageing repair and protection. The best natural face masks contain antioxidants, such as Vitamin C or anti-ageing natural retinols, which can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors that cause free radical damage. Other natural ingredients to look for are natural moisturisers, such as shea butter or cocoa butter, and botanical oils such as jojoba which help to replenish the skin’s moisture levels.
Before using a natural face mask, be sure to cleanse your skin thoroughly, then apply the mask evenly to your face. Leave it on for the recommended amount of time, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Finish off with your all-natural moisturiser or serum that’s right for your skin type.
The best natural face mask for oily Skin.
Oily skin needs special care to maintain its ideal balance. An overly oily complexion can lead to acne, blemishes, and other skin problems that are difficult to eliminate. Natural face masks are an ideal choice for those with an oily complexion as they are packed with naturally detoxifying ingredients that can help to regulate sebum production, unclog pores, and nourish the skin with antioxidants and essential nutrients. Avoid over drying oily skin as this only leads to more inflammation and more oil.
Clay based masks are a great option for those with oily skin. They help absorb excess oil while still moisturising the skin. Clay is packed with minerals, which help to draw out impurities and reduce inflammation. Some popular clays for oily skin include Kaolin clay and Rhassoul Clay. Bamboo Charcoal is also a great natural ingredient for oily skin and it works well with clay and natural fruit enzymes known as AHAs. When teamed together this combination of ingredients deliver antioxidants and vitamins that help to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
Specially formulated to clarify and detox the Bloomeffects Dutch Dirt Mask is a deep cleansing yet gentle mask that brings the clarifying benefits of Moroccan Lava Clay and Kaolin clay with the detoxifying benefits of Charcoal powder. This formulation brings both antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which help to fight acne and reduce inflammation, while the Proprietary Dutch Tulip Complex brings antioxidants, natural moisturising factors, and amino acids for softer, smoother, and hydrated, glowing skin.
Honey based masks are also a wonderful option for oily skin. Honey is both antibacterial and moisturising and packed with vitamins and minerals, so it’s a great choice for those with an oily complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and irritation. Combined with natural fruits such as antioxidant rich berries it makes for a powerful combination for balancing oily complexions. The Wildcrafted Organics Wild Berry + Honey Cleanse and Mask combines the goodness of the Maqui Berry, an intensely coloured purple berry perfect for protecting the skin from damage caused by pollution, with wildflower honey loaded with natural AHAs to encourage healthy skin renewal, and two forms of clay to stimulate blood flow and draw toxins from the skin. We love the addition of Hibiscus to help fortify the skin and increase moisture levels.
Whichever one you choose either of these masks are a great addition to your skincare care regime and will help to regulate sebum production, unclog pores, nourish and balance the skin.
BLOOMEFFECTS Dutch Dirt Mask
Exfoliate. Detoxify. Purify.
A skin-purifying, pore-purging powerhouse multi-tasker exfoliating scrub and mask in one. Packed full of botanical plant extracts and fruit enzymes for perfectly purified skin, enhanced radiance and refined pores.

The best natural face masks for combination skin and refining pores.
Combination skin can be complicated to treat because it requires a balance between moisturising and caring for the areas of the face that tend to be dry, while also controlling the oil in the areas that tend to be greasy. Combination skin is the most common skin type and natural ingredients providing multi-tasking benefits mean there are plenty of natural face masks available that can help you maintain the balance.
When looking for the best natural face mask for combination skin, focus on finding one that contains both moisturising and deep cleansing ingredients. Lightweight moisturisers such as jojoba oil balance excess oil production without drying the skin while ingredients like kaolin clay, charcoal, and oatmeal, can help absorb excess oil and mineralise normal and dehydrated zones. It’s also important to look for masks that contain natural ingredients which provide gentle exfoliation, such as natural alpha hydroxy acids( AHAs). These ingredients can help clear away excess dirt and oil, as well as reduce the appearance of pores.
Finally, choose a mask that is free of harsh chemicals and fragrances, as these can irritate the skin and further aggravate the issue. Look for natural masks that are made with calming and hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and jojoba leaf extract, which can help soothe the skin while providing a healthy dose of hydration. Selecting a natural face mask that is specifically formulated for combination skin, helps balance the skin while nourishing, hydrating, and exfoliating. The two masks we have mentioned above are ideally suited to both oily and combination skin types along with a much loved offering from The Jojoba Co.
The Jojoba Co. offers a great natural face mask that is well suited to combination skin along with addressing signs of ageing such as pigmentation and large pores. The Jojoba and Enzyme Radiance Mask combines both natural AHAs and BHAs to lift dead skin cells and provide a non-irritating polish that reveals brighter and more refined skin in an instant. The combination glycolic, lactic, citric, tartaric and malic acid, all natural forms are AHAs, offer chemical exfoliation while stimulating healthy collagen production. Salicylic acid from White Willow Bark works deep into the pores to balance sebum production and treats acne and breakouts. The endless benefits of Jojoba Leaf extract works to strengthen and firm the skin. Win-win!

The best natural face masks for treating breakouts and acne.
Breakouts and acne can trouble all skin types and can have a real effect on your confidence and self-esteem. We urge to embrace your skin tone and colour along with the occasional breakout, after all none of us are perfect. In saying that if blemishes and breakouts are frequent and not connected to your hormonal fluctuations you may benefit from a twice weekly treatment mask that is specially formulated to decongest the pores without disrupting the natural skin barrier.
The VOTARY Radiance Reveal Mask combines natural AHAs lactic and mandelic acid, to deeply exfoliate while aloe vera and grape seed oil calm and prevent further inflammation. This mask is also great for refining the look of enlarged pores and fading skin marks and spots.

The best natural face masks for dry skin.
Dry skin requires a little extra TLC and natural face masks are a great way to give it that extra boost of hydration. Not all face masks are created equal. Depending on the ingredients used, a mask made for dry skin could be very helpful, or it could make the condition of the skin worse. There are many natural ingredients that are ideally suited for dry skin when choosing the best natural face mask for dry skin. Moisturising ingredients such as botanical oils, butters, and hydrating ingredients can all be very helpful in providing intense moisture to the skin. We look to transformative ingredients such as Panthenol (vitamin B5) a natural humectant, Allantoin a natural calming agent and vitamin E for repair and nourishing, along with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration.
Sheet masks have certainly had a revival thanks to the innovative and proven formulations from indie beauty brands. Leading the way in sheet mask technology is k-beauty sensation VENN. Their Collagen Intensive Phyto-Retinol Renewal Mask is clinically proven to improve hydration and improve the texture and dryness of the skin.

The best natural face masks to treat pigmentation and age spots?
Hormonal changes and age can see spots and pigmentation form in areas on the face, chest and back of the hands. Fortunately, there are a number of natural face masks that can be an effective way to address these concerns. Brightening ingredients can work to lighten and even out dark spots and blemishes. Masks that contain natural ingredients such as vitamins, fruit AHAs and seaweed reduce the appearance of pigmentation while brightening the overall complexion.
By choosing the right natural face mask, you can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation and age spots while improving the overall health of your skin. With so many options available, you’re sure to choose an all-natural formulation that is free from synthetic preservatives and silicones.

Natural face masks offer multi-correctional benefits, so all of the beauty masks we have mentioned in this journal will support your anti-ageing routine while addressing other skin concerns. However, there are proven and potent targeted treatments masks that address the signs of ageing such as loss if firmness, tone, and deep lines.

Peptides play an important role in keeping the skin youthful and fresh. They help to re-texturise and re-densify the skin giving mature skin a firming boost.

There are many natural face masks available, and while we know that when formulated correctly natural ingredients are gentle and beneficial for skin health. It is also important though to ensure that the natural face mask you choose is free of harsh chemicals and fragrances. Artificial preservatives, fragrances, and silicones are best avoided as they can clog pores and create sensitivities and offer no skin benefit in the short or long run.
