The referenced video describes one way to use a Matcha tea mask by creating a DIY version. Here's a breakdown of how to use this specific homemade Matcha mask:
Ingredients (Based on the video):
- Matcha green tea powder
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Boiled water
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the Matcha green tea powder and a pinch of cinnamon. The cinnamon helps stimulate blood flow.
- Add Water: Slowly add boiled water to the dry ingredients while mixing.
- Achieve Desired Consistency: Continue adding water until you achieve a paste-like consistency that is easy to apply to your face. The mixture shouldn't be too runny.

- Wash off: Rinse the mask off your face with lukewarm water.
Important Considerations:
- Patch Test: Before applying the mask to your entire face, perform a patch test on a small area of skin (like your inner arm) to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
- Cinnamon Sensitivity: Be cautious with the amount of cinnamon used, especially if you have sensitive skin. Too much cinnamon can cause redness or irritation.
- Mask Removal: Be gentle when removing the mask to avoid irritating your skin.
