DIY Matcha Face Mask | Acne Clearing

I have always loved myself a good DIY, and having had bad skin for years, face masks are one of my favourite products to buy! So today I thought I would combine both my love for DIY's and face masks! 

Recently I have been using matcha powder a lot, especially in my smoothies. However matcha powder is actually really good on the skin externally, just as much as it is internally. First of all, it treats inflammation both in rosacea and acne. Matcha powder is actually gentle enough for any skin type, diminishing all redness. It also improves your complexion, and removes dead skin cells, as well as diminishing the signs of aging, and treating oily skin (and all other skin types). Tea tree oil is also really good for the skin, especially acne as it kills any bacteria or infection. 

- 1/2 tablespoon matcha powder

- 3-4 drops tea tree oil

- a dash of water

Enough for 1 mask

Simply mix all these ingredients together and pop it on your face, after having cleansed your skin! If you prefer a thinner consistency use less matcha powder or more water depending on how thick a layer of face mask you apply (bearing in mind this mask is for 1, adding more water will create enough for 2). 

When creating this mask be careful with the matcha powder as it can stain clothes! It is perfectly fine for the skin, but I recommend using a warm washcloth to remove the mask so that you are not scrubbing on the skin. Using micellar water after removing the mask will remove any green residue left over afterwards! 

Have you ever used a matcha face mask?
