The Facial Masks You Need To Help Treat Pesky Pimples And Breakouts

Whether you’re 13 or 30 years old, the sad fact is (unless you’ve been genetically blessed and barely come into contact with pollution of any kind) pimples are a part of life. Acne can be caused by a number of things: stress hormones, the environment and even the products you’re using are just a few factors that can affect your complexion. And while dirt and impurities do play a big part in causing breakouts, washing your face excessively will dry out and irritate your complexion. Our solution, adding a deep cleansing mask twice a week that helps to remove impurities and treat pimples. Here, our list of the best ones to get.
