Why this mask feels calm and soft
Green tea brings an antioxidant-rich beauty ritual note, rice flour gives the paste a fine cushion, and aloe vera gel helps the texture spread without tugging. This is a gentle cosmetic mask for a quiet evening, not a treatment for irritation.
Recipe ingredients
- 1 teaspoon very fine rice flour
- 1 teaspoon cooled strong green tea
- ½ teaspoon aloe vera gel
- Optional: 2–3 extra drops of green tea if the paste feels thick
How to make it
- Brew green tea and let it cool completely.
- Mix rice flour and aloe in a small clean bowl.
- Add green tea slowly until the texture becomes a smooth, soft paste.
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
- Leave on for 5–7 minutes, then rinse before the mask dries tight.
How often to use
Use once weekly at most if your skin is easily stressed. Avoid broken, sunburned, freshly exfoliated or irritated skin, and patch test first.
Common Mistakes
- Letting rice flour dry into a tight crust.
- Scrubbing during removal.
- Using hot tea instead of cooled tea.
Quick Checklist
- Patch test first.
- Keep the layer thin.
- Rinse before tightness.
- Follow with a simple moisturizer.
