Why clay masks are still that girl
Clay masks have been rocking the skincare industry for quite some time, and it’s no BS. They work, and leave your skin feeling extra clean. Here’s why they’re amazing:
-
Absorbs excess oil: bye, breakouts!
-
Draws out impurities: yep, it pulls out all the bad stuff from your pores
-
Unclogs pores: no filter needed here. Just smooth, glowing skin!
But this matcha clay mask isn’t your average. With the power of matcha tea powder, it takes everything a step further.
-
Antioxidant-rich, fighting free radicals and protecting from impurities
-
Anti-inflammatory, having a calming effect and reducing redness
-
Rich in chlorophyll, acting as a natural skin detox
Honestly, a great combo. Let me tell you how to make it.
The ingredients breakdown
-
1 tbsp Matcha DNA organic matcha powder: antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory, and sooo aesthetic
-
1 tbsp bentonite clay: the OG detoxing clay, it helps pull out the dirt + oil from your skin
-
2 tbsp aloe vera gel: your skin’s love language, it calms and hydrates
-
1-2 tbsp water: helps create the perfect mask consistency
-
3-4 drops tea tree oil: a natural breakout-buster
How to make it
-
Mix it up: In a glass bowl, combine all your ingredients. Mix until the texture is smooth and thick (think smoothie, but for your face).
-
Apply: To your clean skin using a fan brush or your fingers. You can also apply it to your neck and chest for a full skincare session.
-
Let it work its magic: Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. This is the perfect time for a TikTok scroll break (or a matcha latte to match the vibes 🍵).
-
Rinse: With warm water, pat dry, and finish off with your usual skincare routine.
Not too complicated, right?
