Make: Detoxifying matcha tea face mask

Lottie Storey January 12, 2017

This wonderful green paste may make you look like a witch temporarily but will cast a spell on your skin, leaving it refreshed and glowing

1 tsp matcha tea powder
1 tsp yoghurt

1 Put the matcha tea powder in a bowl and stir in the yogurt to make a smooth paste.
2 Apply to a cleansed face and relax for 15 minutes.
3 Remove gently with tepid water and enjoy a healthy glow.

Why it works
Matcha tea is high in vitamins, antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids and minerals. It is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and draws out impurities. Yoghurt is moisturising and nourishing.

From All Natural Beauty by Karin Berndl and Nici Hofer (Hardie Grant).

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
