Matcha Mask

Green Tea helps balance excess oil production and is high in vitamin K which has been shown to help reduce redness.

Safflower Oil is rich in fatty acids that are known to hydrate severely dry skin, help reduce inflammation, and visibly lessen hyperpigmentation.

1. Mix 1/2 tsp of powder to equal parts of hydrosol or water.

2. Apply to clean, dry or damp skin. Avoid eye area.

3. Let the mask dry for 5-10 minutes.

4. Cover your face with a warm washcloth for a few seconds then wipe. Repeat until your face is clear of the mask.

5. Follow-up with your favorite moisturizer.

Note: If you have sensitive skin, do a skin patch test.
