Sunshine is medicine for the soul—but too much of it can leave your skin feeling irritated, tight, or a little extra sensitive. Whether you’ve been beachside all day or just caught more sun than expected on your morning walk, our Matcha Mint DIY Detox Mask offers a cooling, calming reset for your skin.
Made with a simple and natural formula—Bentonite Clay, Matcha Green Tea, and Peppermint Leaf—this dry powder mask is a multi-tasking powerhouse. It gently draws out impurities, soothes inflammation, and refreshes the skin with every use. And the best part? You can mix it with whatever your skin is craving!
Why These Ingredients Work for Sun-Stressed Skin
-
Bentonite Clay
This mineral-rich clay helps absorb excess oil and draw out heat and toxins. It also provides a cooling sensation, which is ideal after sun exposure. -
Matcha Green Tea
Rich in antioxidants, matcha helps calm inflammation and fight free radicals caused by UV exposure. It also helps reduce redness and supports skin healing. -
Peppermint Leaf
Naturally cooling and anti-inflammatory, peppermint adds a refreshing tingle that can ease discomfort and give your skin a revitalizing boost.
Sun-Soothing Mask Recipe:
Here’s a simple mix you can whip up anytime your skin needs a little post-sun TLC:
Ingredients:
-
1 tsp DIY Detox Mask powder
-
1 tsp aloe vera (fresh aloe vera or store-bought gel)
-
1 tsp coconut water (or you can also try cooled green tea!)
Optional add-on: A few drops of lavender essential oil for extra calming vibes
Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, mix the powder with aloe vera gel and coconut water until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Apply an even layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
-
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes (don’t let it fully dry to avoid over-drying).
-
Gently rinse with cool water and pat dry. Follow with a hydrating mist or light moisturizer.
Pro Tip:
Store the dry mask in a cool, dry place and mix a fresh batch each time for the best results. You can also refrigerate your mask mixture for 10 minutes before applying for an extra refreshing boost.
Whether you’re unwinding from a sun-soaked day or just giving your skin a moment to breathe, this mask invites you to slow down, check in, and care for your skin with intention.
You deserve rituals that feel good—especially the ones you create yourself.
