The fermented tea drink as a beauty booster
Many people primarily know kombucha as a fermented tea drink. Kombucha and bacterial cellulose have also recently appeared as unusual ingredients in DIY beauty routines and individual cosmetic products. Renowned cosmetic companies have also long been using the tea mushroom in face masks, facials, and toners. They value it for its bacterial cellulose. Here you can find interesting ways to use kombucha!
Face mask – Let your complexion glow with kombucha
The combination of SCOBY, kombucha and coconut oil makes an unusual DIY mask with a pleasant, nourishing feel on the skin. Especially on cold days, you should take extra care of your skin.
What you need for 2 applications:
- 100 g Scoby
- 15 ml Original Kombucha
- 15 ml coconut oil
Here's how to do it:
First, chop the Scoby and half of the kombucha in a blender. Then, slowly add the coconut oil and mix everything until it forms a creamy consistency. Before applying the face mask, we recommend thoroughly cleansing your face with water. Now, the mask can be evenly applied to your face. After leaving it on for about 10 to 20 minutes, you can carefully rinse off the mask and then pat your face dry.
Caution! Make sure the mask doesn't get into your eyes, as it could sting.
