Natural Face Masks for Acne and Blackheads

Struggling with acne or blackheads? You’re not alone — clogged pores, inflammation, and excess oil can affect all skin types, but especially those with oily or combination skin. The good news? A simple, natural skincare routine can make a huge difference.

At Bella Forever, we believe in harnessing the power of gentle, effective ingredients to help you manage breakouts, remove blackheads, and support long-term skin health. Our range of vegan clay face masks is ideal for drawing out impurities, refining pores, and calming irritated skin — all without the use of harsh chemicals.

Let’s take a closer look at which natural face masks are best for treating acne and blackheads.

Why Clay Masks Work for Acne-Prone Skin

Clay has long been used in skincare for its detoxifying and oil-absorbing properties. Different types of clay offer unique benefits for different skin needs — and when it comes to breakouts, some clays are especially effective at:

• Drawing out dirt, bacteria, and excess sebum

• Reducing the appearance of pores

• Calming inflammation and redness

• Removing blackheads and preventing new ones from forming

All our clay face masks are made with 100% natural ingredients, safe for sensitive skin, and free from parabens, mineral oil, and artificial fragrance.

Best Natural Clay Masks for Acne & Blackheads

1. Bentonite Clay Face Mask

Bentonite clay is a superstar for oily and acne-prone skin. Formed from volcanic ash, this ultra-absorbent clay is known for its ability to suck out toxins and bacteria from deep within the pores.

Benefits of Bentonite Clay:

• Removes excess oil and unclogs pores

• Reduces redness and swelling

• Helps dry out whiteheads and prevent breakouts

• Promotes clearer, smoother skin with regular use

Use once or twice a week to gently purify and refresh your complexion.

2. Green Clay Face Mask

French green clay is rich in minerals and perfect for combination and congested skin. It stimulates circulation while gently exfoliating and clearing away dead skin cells and grime.

Benefits of Green Clay:

• Acts as a natural exfoliant

• Reduces inflammation and soothes irritated skin

• Helps prevent clogged pores and blackheads

• Brightens and refines skin texture

It’s a great choice if you’re dealing with dullness, oily patches, and frequent breakouts.

3. Ghassoul Clay Face Mask

Also known as Rhassoul clay, this mineral-rich clay comes from Morocco and is incredibly gentle yet deeply cleansing.

Benefits of Ghassoul Clay:

• Detoxifies and clears pores

• Helps balance sebum production

• Softens and smooths skin without over-drying

• Supports healing of acne and minor blemishes

Perfect for sensitive or combination skin that still needs deep cleansing.

For Best Results: Pair with a Natural Toner

After rinsing off your clay mask, it’s important to rebalance your skin’s pH. Our Witch Hazel Facial Toners — with options like Tea Tree, Lavender, Peppermint, and Pure Witch Hazel — offer a refreshing, antibacterial finish that tightens pores and calms irritation.

Skincare + Diet = Clear Skin

While our natural face masks work wonders on the surface, real skin transformation also comes from within. Eating a balanced, skin-friendly diet (low in processed sugar and high in antioxidants, healthy fats, and water) supports your skin’s ability to heal and defend itself.

Avoid overly greasy, fried, or sugary foods if you’re prone to acne, and make sure to stay hydrated every day.
