Green Tea, Cucumber & Oat Face Mask

 
Treat yourself to a soothing and relaxing facial treatment mask.  We combine Aussie White Clay with Pink Brazilian Clay for a higher activity level and mineral content.  Soothing Oat Extract, Colloidal Oatmeal and Green Tea Powder round off our formula for a gentle spa facial treatment. 

The Cucumber & Aloe Fragrance lightly scents the mask mixture, and the Green Tea Extract's antioxidant properties help to purify your skin.

For very sensitive skin, we recommend making a trial batch with no fragrance or essential oil at all.

This mask is suitable for normal to sensitive skin.

Ingredients:

• 300g Aussie White Clay
•   50g Pink Brazilian Clay
•   50g Colloidal Oatmeal
• 15 - 20g Matcha Green Tea Powder (from tea suppliers & Asian grocery stores)            
• 1 cup Natrasorb Bath*
•   20g Oat Extract (oil soluble)
• Chamomile Infused Water (to hydrate the dry mask mixture when applying the mask)
• Green Tea Extract (added to floral water when applying the mask) 
  
  If scenting:

• 5 - 8g/ml Cucumber & Aloe Fragrance or your preferred Spa Fragrance
• If you prefer Essential Oils, try one of our Essential Oil Blends
  
  
• 10 x Scrub, Mask & Spa Jar, Medium (Black)
  

*Use sufficient Natrasorb to ensure the Oat Extract and Fragrance are powdery dry like breadcrumbs
**We used a dull green Matcha Tea Powder. Very dark Green Tea Powder can stain the skin.  You can either use less if it's dark green, or a little more if it's a paler colour
