4 Ingredients for your cleansing matcha green tea mask

3-Step directions:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl using a spoon or spatula

  • Apply to face and leave on for 10-15 minutes

  • Rinse well then apply moisturizer

This at-home green tea face mask is optimal for those who have sensitive skin, often experience redness, but want to get rid of blackheads and address acne breakouts.

Yogurt is rich in probiotics and other skin soothing proteins. Honey helps bind the mask together and leaves your skin feeling soft and plump, just be sure to rinse well and avoid your hairline! Oatmeal works to soothe the skin, reduce redness and lock in moisture, while matcha adds a powerful punch of antioxidants and polyphenols to give this mask a powerful deep cleanse effect.

If you experience any redness or itchiness while using this mask, be sure to remove and rinse off face immediately. If you are on any prescription medications that may make your skin more sensitive, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider first before trying this recipe.

The bottom line: There’s lots of ingredients at-home to create DIY face masks with!

Many well-known skin care brands find inspiration from fruits in vegetables. Think about vitamin C from lemons and oranges, which helps to brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Vitamin E, which you can find in avocados, may help to reduce fine lines and give your skin a fuller, firmer appearance.

Vitamin A, which is in eggs, can help address acne, improve fine lines and reduce sun damage. Just to name a few!

So go ahead and have fun in your kitchen and give this matcha face mask a go. Your skin will thank you for it!
