If you’ve been following us for a while, you know I’ve been sharing hundreds of matcha facial masks to try. Well, if you’ve been loving every single one of these moments we’ve dropped lately… stay tuned because here comes another one, and yes, she brings the glow. This DIY face mask taps into two skincare superfoods: matcha, of course, for calm and anti-redness, and turmeric, for a brightening and anti-inflammatory effect.
It’s the ultimate glow beauty hack: a little chaotic (as always), gives you all that spa-day energy, and 100% photo-dump worthy. Because at Matcha DNA, our matcha powder isn’t for ceremonies or rituals, it’s your mixer for everything you can think of. Your chance to be creative and unapologetically yourself. And clearly that means putting it on your face, too.
why turmeric deserves a spot in your skincare lineup
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is what gives this superfood the fame for being a great ally for your health. And when paired with matcha green tea? It becomes a powder combo your morning routine won’t shut up about.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
-
the natural brightener: it’s rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties that help your skin fight off oxidative stress and look radiant
-
acne-fighter: the anti-inflammatory properties can help calm the skin and reduce the scarring
-
evens out skin tone: it helps reduce the look of dark spots and dullness without harsh exfoliants
-
budget-friendly glow: you get “expensive” skin without having to drop €60 on a tiny pot of cream
An unexpected ally that is totally worth trying.
what you’ll need
Not too complicated:
-
1 scoop Matcha DNA organic matcha powder
-
2 oz warm water
-
½ tsp turmeric powder
-
1 tbsp honey
how to make your matcha + turmeric brightening mask
-
Make the matcha: As you normally would, whisk the matcha powder with warm water until smooth and frothy.
-
Mix it up: Un a clean bowl, combine 2 tbsp of the matcha tea you just made, the turmeric powder, and honey. Be careful here because turmeric stains! So maybe avoid wearing that cute beige hoodie while you do this.
-
Blend into a paste: Stir until fully combined.
-
Apply the glow: Before applying it into your entire face, make sure to test it out in your arm or hand to make sure it doesn’t have a weird reaction on your skin. We can never be too careful, am I right? Now, if all goes well, go ahead and smooth the mask onto your clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
-
Let it chill: Leave it on for 10–15 minutes while you take a selfie (or five) and doomscroll a bit.
-
Rinse: Once the time has passed, remove with lukewarm water using gentle circular motions.
-
Finish your routine: Pat dry and follow with your favorite moisturizer for maximum glow.
This mix leans into the best parts of both worlds: the matcha tea benefits you already know and the brightening superpowers of turmeric. Girl, it’s honestly like a golden matcha latte for your face.
