Green tea face mask
I make myself a very basic face mask using green tea powder because green tea is high in polyphenols, a type of antioxidant that when applied topically can be anti-inflammatory, protect against skin cancer, and reduce or prevent signs of aging. It is a great healing treatment for all kinds of skin types and issues.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp green tea powder (I use Matcha Matsu from David’s Tea)
- Water or carrier oil
- For oiler skin, you can use water, in which case this mask dries on your face like a clay mask.
- For dryer skin, use a carrier oil of your choice. I personally really like rosehip oil as it is anti-inflammatory and known for anti-aging. The type of oil can be varied based on what you prefer – check out more info on different carrier oils here.
- 1-2 drops (no more than this!) essential oil (optional)
- You can choose oils that address specific skin issues – check out more info here.
Directions:
- Place green tea powder in very small bowl and mix to a paste with either water or oil.
- Add essential oils if desired.
- Apply to clean, dry skin after washing and exfoliating.
- Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then gently rinse off.
