This Green Tea Acne Healing Face Mask soothes and cleanses your skin, making it smooth, clear and acne-free, after continuous use. It is a more soothing and gentle mask, than other acne masks and suitable for sensitive skin.

The Ingredients

The Green Tea Acne Healing Face Mask is a litre tricky to make. It has three ingredients.

Green Tea,

Honey,

Lemon,

Sugar,

These ingredients work together to create a super good Green Tea Acne Healing Face Mask that is very comfortable to apply and use.

Why Green Tea?

This is one of the most powerful ingredients for skin care.

• It promotes DNA repair. Green tea has a powerful antioxidant called EGCG that fights DNA damage from UV rays to prevent skin cancer. Which results in the fact that it acts as a potent anti-aging ingredient that combats signs of aging when ingested or applied topically.
• Green tea has powerful anti-inflammatory properties,  because of its high content of polyphenols called catechins. These catechins in green tea get rid of irritation, redness, and swelling.
• The same polyphenols make Green tea a great antibacterial agent for treating acne and unclogging pores.
• Has large amounts of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin E, which promote collagen and keep skin looking young and firm. It also keeps the skin hydrated.
• Caffeine and tannins in green tea help shrink blood vessels around the eyes, making it a miracle for treating puffy eyes and dark circles
  

Why Lemon?

The lemon brightens, lightens, and clarifies the skin:

• Lemons are rich in vitamin C and citric acid, so they can help brighten and lighten your skin when used over time
• They help eliminate the over-production of oils.
• They are antibacterial and help to clear away acne, pimples and blackheads.
• Lemons have naturally exfoliating properties that remove dead skin cells and toxins.
• Lemons help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

Why Honey?

The Honey has properties which help to purify the skin:

• Honey cleans out impurities from skin pores.
• Honey is naturally antiseptic; it has healing and soothing properties.
• Honey is a humectant so it moisturises, prevents wrinkles and soothes and heals dry patches.
• Honey helps in reducing acne scarring.
• It also has brightening properties.

Why Sugar?

Sugar acts as the most abrasive exfoliating component of the Lemon Exfoliating Face and Body Scrub and also has benefits for the skin:

• First, sugar is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment into the skin.
• Sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that penetrates the skin and breaks down the “glue” that bonds skin cells, encouraging cell turnover and generating fresher, younger-looking skin.
• Sugar’s small particles make an excellent topical exfoliant, and are used in a number of body scrubs to exfoliate dead surface skin cells and reveal the glowing, healthy-looking skin underneath
