  For Acne: Bliss No ‘Zit’ Sherlock

  This is, by far, the most entertaining face mask ($38, blissworld.com) you can use for oily skin. You mix the powder with a little water, spread it onto your face, and wait for it to dry. The real fun comes when it dries and takes on a rubbery texture. Then, you get to peel it off. The best part, of course, it that it works. Detoxifying seaweed clears your skin of blemishes and prevents future breakouts.
