Thanks for the query
Yes you can do mud mask. In fact it will be beneficial for worry. Roccutane can cause photosensivity, Mud mask will protect you from this.
Tea tree oil is also good. It has antioxidant.
Please try to avoid sea salt XXXXXXX It is harsh and can harm your face.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
