Makes: 1 Use
Supplies
- 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon activated charcoal powder
- ½ teaspoon jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon bentonite clay
- 5 drops Frankincense essential oil
- 2 drops peppermint essential oil
- Filtered water
Tools
- Mixing bowl
- Paintbrush
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except water in a small dish, be sure that everything is well combined. If you want to make a larger batch you can easily double or quadruple the ingredients and leave in jar, saving the next step for when you are ready to make a single mask.
- Add 2 teaspoons of filtered water to your powder mixture and stir, continue adding water a ½ teaspoon at a time until the powder is a creamy loose mixture, but not too loose or it will run off your face. The consistency should be like wet toothpaste. Hot water will help dissolve it all quickly and will cool by the time it is ready to go on your face.
To Use
- Spread all over a damp face – I even go down my neck. I like to use a wide paintbrush to apply it with (the kind you might use on a canvas not a wall).
- Allow it to dry well, or about 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water and pat skin dry.
- After your mask is removed your face will likely be bright pink and your skin will feel tight – so be sure to follow up with a moisturizing homemade face cream.
