Just out of curiosity ..Do any of you Gents use a weekly Facial Mask? I use the Aztec Secret/Indian Healing Clay mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar and it does a great job. I just wanted to explore other
options for reducing Pore size and helping to minimize Oily Skin. Any thoughts are appreciated.

In before American Psycho joke.

But srsly, yes. On occasion I do use a facial mask. I have no idea if it's working, or if it's just a placebo effect. But I see a difference. I mostly use the Kiehl's stuff for my entire facial regimen, including mask.

I got a Task essential white clay mask off Gilt for like $11, but I can't really tell if it's doing anything for me.

^ What are some other pore cleansing strips like the Biore ones that are used for the nose? Those irritate my skin and I'd like to try a different one.

We used to have a friend that worked at Kiehls and recommended volcano mud mask for reducing oil, my girlfriend would put it on me and it had this extreme stinging feeling. I don't think my face got any less oily but that is just me.

Kidding aside, I too have wondered if a mask is worthwhile. I use Kiehl's Ultra stuff for everything except my shaving soap currently. I have pretty decent skin, but I've considered replacing the toner with a mask.

You must put some moisturizer on your skin after you have it removed
