Quick & Easy Matcha Green Tea Scrub

Green tea is well known for its gentle healing properties because it is very rich in antioxidants. It has been used in beauty regimens for thousands of years. Not only has it been shown to help delay or reduce signs of aging and wrinkles, it’s excellent for exfoliation, hydration and softer skin too.

A green tea scrub makes a great handmade gift. It is very simple to make and will keep in a tightly closed decorative jar for up to 3 months.

how to use your matcha green tea scrub

To use your green tea scrub, open the jar, and give it a good stir. Next, wash your hands and apply it to your face and neck with your fingers. Gently massage the scrub in a circular motion for a minute or two. Finally, use a soft washcloth dipped in warm water and pat your face to remove all the sugar scrub.

Most facial and body scrubs can be used 1 – 2 times per week. However, test a small patch to start to see what works best for you.
