1 tbsp green tea (where to get it)
1 tsp aloe vera gel (where to get it)
2 drops lavender oil (where to get it)
Small bowl & spoon

Directions

In a small bowl, dump in your kaolin clay then add the cooled green tea to form a paste.
Now add in your aloe vera gel and lavender oil.
Stir very well using a spoon to combine all the ingredients.
Now dip your face mask brush into the mask and apply it onto your clean dry face and neck.
Avoid the area around your eyes, mouth and eyebrows.
Leave the mask to do its magic for about 5 minutes then rinse off with warm water or a warm wet washcloth.
Splash your face with cold water then pat dry.
Apply moisturizer or if you want to go the natural route, a pea – sized amount of shea butter or coconut oil.
You would want to do this mask about 1 – 2 times a week and not more.

Take Care

The lavender oil is totally optional but before using it, you have to do a patch test to see that you’re not sensitive or allergic to it. If you are, then please leave it out of your kaolin face mask recipe.
