Tuesday Tips: DIY Green Tea Powder and Gentle Face Scrub!
Tuesday Tips is baaaack ~
Because I simply don’t
care about my exams. Gee. Screw them all! *throw books away*
As maybe you have read
here in my Daily Skincare Routine post, currently I have no scrub/exfoliating
products in my stash – simply because even the most gentle one breaks me out.
Usually I just use oatmeal as exfoliator but you know, it’s too soft eh? No ‘real
exfoliating’ on skin, and I can’t really tell if the rough dead skin cells are
actually going away or not. So I’ve been experimenting for two weeks with stuff
in the kitchen, and ta~daaaaa ...
my very own gentle face scrub!
The exfoliator agent in
this DIY Gentle Scrub Mask is…green tea powder. I know it’s very hard to find
green tea in powder form here in Indonesia so guess what, I’m going to make my
own powder!
THINGS
YOU NEED
- Green tea leaves
- Tea Filter
- Spoon
STEPS TO DO
- Separate the dried sticks from the leaves – simply because sticks don’t grind well later and it’s quite harsh on skin!
- After done separating, now put the leaves into a food processor/blender.
- Grind it for 2 minutes.
- Put the ground tea leaves in a tea filter. Start filtering the leaves; throw away all the big chunks.
- Repeat the filtering process twice.
- Your beauty powder is ready ~
P.S: you may repeat the
grinding or filtering process as many times as you like to get the texture that
you want!
Now that we have our
powder, let’s make the mixture ~
THINGS
YOU NEED
- 1 tsp Green tea powder (yay!)
- 1 tsp Honey
- Bowl
- Spoon
- ½ tsp Warm water
STEPS
TO DO
- Mix 1 teaspoon of green tea powder with 1 teaspoon of honey
- Stir them all-together.
- Until they’re well mixed, add ½ tsp of warm water.
check the constituency. add more/less water as you like! |
- Apply to your face. Let it sit for good 15 minutes.
- Splash water, then rub with gentle circular motion (for exfoliating purpose) or rinse off (if you’re only using it as a mask)
I quickly found that this
magical mixture works both as a homemade face scrub and simply a calming mask!
It’s all up to you because the green tea goodness still works wonder in both
way though – that’s why we let it sit for quite a while, okay? Don’t rinse off
too quick!
After using this mask/scrub,
I quickly feel my skin smoother, brighter, and more hydrated and plumped than
before. Oh yes ~ ! I recommend you to use this as a mask 3 times in a week, and
use as a scrub once a week. You can always thank me later for having clearer,
(slightly) brighter, and less oily face ;)

And that’s all for today’s
#TuesdayTips! Toot is now upset because I don’t study instead of pampering self
and writing this post. Geez. Will be back later okay? This upcoming two weeks I
will be quite busy but I will try my best to update more.
Oh! Don’t forget to ask
me anything on my Ask.fm ♥ it feels great to receive new questions, ya know?
Ask me anything – life related,
beauty related stuff, campus stuff – and I will answer them quickly!
Ciao for now girls, happy
Tuesday ♥ xo
