Best Homemade Mask Remedy

I learnt this remedy from Bubzbeauty, a very nice and inspiring youtube beauty guru. I really like her videos and have been following her for a long time. She shares DIY natural mask and has tons of makeup and beauty tutorials.

This homemade mask is the BEST that I've tried. I've been using this for almost two years and I'm still surprise how soft my skin can be each time after using this. There are only four main ingredients and all of them are natural. Here is the link! 

Apple cider vinegar is well known for its wide variety of health benefits. It gently dissolve dead skin and break up scar tissue. Make sure you buy the unfiltered natural apple cider vinegar which should contain some residue at the bottom. The residues are known as the 'mother', proteins and enzymes which gives all the health benefits !

You can get this from any supermarket or organic store. This cost only RM15.90.


The sugar act as a scrub to exfoliate dead skin and break up scar tissue. I find that it is normal if your skin is a little red due to the scrubbing (don't scrub too hard ! )

Honey helps to moisturize the skin and reduce redness of acne and pimples. It also stimulate skin cell renewal and has anti-aging benefits. Green tea detoxify the skin :)

Ingredients
2 tsp Green tea
1 tsp Apple cider vinegar (not white vinegar !!)
7 tsp Sugar (use caster sugar because it is finer than granulated sugar)
1 tsp Honey



Basically it's 2:1 part of green tea to apple cider vinegar. Mix all the ingredients and keep the extra in fridge. Sometimes when I ran out of green tea I use clean filtered water :)

Start with a clean washed face and keep your hair out of the way. Apply on face and be careful not to drop any on your table or floor because this attracts ants like crazy. Massage gently in circular motion. The sugar scrub really gently and is not harsh at all. If it gets dry or sticky, pat more of the liquid onto face. Leave it on face for around 10 minutes then rinse it off.

For first time user it is recommended that you do a test first before putting on face because the vinegar can be too harsh. If your skin is more sensitive, dilute the mask with more green tea.

I actually use 1:1 ratio because my skin can handle it. After the first time using, my skin feel super SUPER soft, smooth and it's not drying at all. I usually do this twice a week at night. The smell was not so pleasant but tolerable. After using it for so long, it actually smell sweet to me now :D
