The search for products that can lead to smooth skin can be a quite a challenge, especially when it comes to clay face masks.

Finding the right match for your specific skin type among the many options available can be tough, but in recent years, Korean clay masks have risen to prominence in the skincare world, which has seen a surge in popularity for Korean skincare in general.

Korean skincare has garnered many fans all over the world, as they are not only more affordable, but they also, at times, have more advanced ingredients for preventing signs of aging.

For those new to K-beauty, let's look at some Korean clay masks that will give you softer, smoother skin.

Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 2X

South Korean brand Innisfree came out with this clay mask formulated with Jeju Volcanic Clusters, which help reduce excess sebum.

Sebum, for those who are unaware, is an oily, waxy substance that sits in the middle layers of the skin, near the hair follicles. Too much of this can lead to oily skin.

This clay mask can also help reduce the appearance of pores, exfoliate the skin, and even the skin tone.

Suitable for all skin types, this clay mask particularly addresses concerns such as oiliness, dullness, and uneven texture.

TonyMoly I'm Rice Clarifying Blemish Mask

The Tony Moly I'm Rice Clarifying Blemish Mask helps soothe the skin while also clearing it of blemishes and redness.

Due to its ingredients, which include fermented rice filtrate, kaolin clay, and herb pure complex, the skin will feel softer and much fresher after use.

According to the product description, fermented rice filtrate helps hydrate the skin, while kaolin clay soothes the skin and removes dead skin cells. The herb pure complex, on the other hand, purifies the pores and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask

If you've been to Sephora, you have probably passed by the Glow Recipe section to smell its yummy smelling skincare. Glow Recipe's watermelon-infused skincare line brings a delightfully sweet scent upon application.

The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask removes dirt from the skin and tighten the pores. Unlike some masks that exfoliate the skin and leave it feeling dry after, this mask has hyaluronic acid to keep the skin moisturized.

Watermelon enzymes in the mask help reduce inflammation. Watermelon is a rich source of the antioxidant lycopene, which is also an anti-inflammatory substance.

Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Beauty Mask

The final clay mask to try is the Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Beauty Mask.

This clay mask's star ingredient, matcha, helps removes impurities and blackheads within pores.

While deeply cleansing the skin of any dirt or oils, the ingredient cica has a calming effect on the skin.

The Some By Mi clay mask can also help with moisturization, white head removal, and sebum absorption, according to the product description.
