Matcha Green Tea Powder Facial |
Matcha Powder Facial:
1 tbsp. matcha green tea powder
1-2 tbsp. of water
Optional: Organic virgin coconut oil
OR Raw honey.
Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder purchased from: Whole Foods Market
Directions:
Mix until it creates a thick paste and apply it all over the face. Let the mask sit on your
face until it is completely dried. I prefer to leave my mask on for 45 minutes to an
hour to really let my skin absorb the benefits. Wash your face off in a gentle motion and
pat dry with a clean towel. You will notice that your skin will be slightly green after washing
off the mask, however this is easily removed with organic virgin coconut oil.

~ I would recommend using organic Matcha to get the full benefits of this
potent green tea and it will not contain any artificial fertilizers or herbicides.
Love it! Everyone is always drinking it.. But for those who aren't a fan of the taste this mask idea is awesome. You get the benefits and a spa day. Great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! It's pretty versatile and it has so many antioxidants that the skin will benefit from so I use it mainly for facial masks. I do sprinkle it in smoothies or my yoghurt from time to time as well. Thank you!!
