The Fermented Tea Drink as a Beauty Booster
Many only know kombucha as a tea drink that strengthens and refreshes the body from within. However, renowned cosmetic companies have long been incorporating the tea fungus into face masks, facials, and toners. They value it for its bacterial cellulose. Here you will find interesting ways to use kombucha!
Face Mask – Let Your Complexion Shine with Kombucha
The face mask can help to balance the skin's pH value and kill possible bacteria that lead to pimples and other impurities. Especially on cold days, you should take extra care of your skin.
What you need for 2 applications:
- 100 g Scoby
- 15 ml Kombucha Original
- 15 ml coconut oil
How to make it:
First, chop the Scoby and half of the kombucha in a blender. Then, slowly add the coconut oil and mix everything into a creamy paste. Before applying the face mask, we recommend thoroughly cleansing your face with water. Now, the mask can be applied evenly to the face. After an exposure time of approx. 10 to 20 minutes, you can carefully rinse off the mask and then pat your face dry.
Caution! Make sure the mask does not get into your eyes, as this could cause a burning sensation.
Soothing Body Lotion with Kombucha
Who hasn't experienced it? Too long in the sun and your skin is super dry and stressed! With this lotion, you can care for your body and easily provide it with moisture and nutrients on cold days. The many organic acids contained in kombucha, such as gluconic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, and other organic acids, can help with the regeneration of your skin cells.
What you need for 1 bottle of lotion:
- 50 ml jojoba oil
