Your skin is far more oily in the summer. With all the heat, you may find yourself blotting away excess oil. A good way to keep the oil -- and the pimples that sometimes accompany it -- away is to use a pore-cleansing mask. If you don't effectively clean the oil (and sweat) from your pores, pimples begin to form. It's not hard to prevent this cycle from occurring if you work a cleaning mask into your skin care routine once or twice a week.

AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask ($30, drugstore.com) exfoliates, fights future breakouts and soothes the breakouts you already may have. Plus, it sucks the oil right from your pores? We wonder if it a can pay the bills, too!

Fresh Umbrian Clay Face Treatment ($48, sephora.com) not only acts as a mask but can also double as a spot treatment to zap those pesky pimples!
