The fermented tea drink as a beauty booster
Many only know Kombucha as a tea drink, which strengthens and refreshes the body from the inside. Renowned cosmetics companies have long been using the tea fungus in face masks, facials and toners. They value it for its bacterial cellulose. Here you will find interesting uses of kombucha!
Face Mask - Let your complexion shine with kombucha
The face mask can help balance the pH of the skin while killing possible bacteria that lead to pimples and other breakouts. Especially on cold days you should take special care of your skin.
You need this for 2 applications:
- 100g scoby
- 15ml Original Kombucha
- 15 ml coconut oil
How to do it:
First, the scoby and half of the kombucha are chopped up in a blender. Then you can slowly add the coconut oil and mix everything into a creamy mass. Before the face mask can be applied, we recommend cleaning the face thoroughly 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.
Danger! Be careful not to get the mask in your eyes as it could sting.
Soothing body lotion with kombucha
Who hasn't this happened to? Too long in the sun and your skin is super dry and stressed! With this lotion you can take care of 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 cell regeneration in your skin.
What you need for 1 bottle of lotion:
- 50 ml jojoba oil
- 2 tablespoons Kombucha Original
How to do it:
It is best to get a small glass bottle that holds 100 ml and mix the jojoba oil with the kombucha by shaking it vigorously. Then you can pamper your skin with the resulting mixture and massage in the lotion.
Tip:
In addition to jojoba oil, you can also mix Greek yoghurt or organic low-fat quark with Kombucha and the pureed Scoby. Add some cold-pressed olive oil and your moisture booster is ready!
Kombucha – foot bath
Simply care for your stressed feet with Kombucha. All you need is a bathtub or a small bowl and you're good to go!
What you need:
- 250 ml very acidic kombucha or alternatively 150 ml kombucha vinegar
- 1 cup Epsom Salt or alternatively other mineral salt
- Eucalyptus oil or another natural essential oil of your choice
How to do it:
Simply put both ingredients in a bathtub of warm water and soak your feet in it for 10 minutes. Afterwards the skin feels super soft.
Kombucha – hair conditioner
What you need:
- 100 ml natural unpasteurized kombucha
- 100ml of water
How to do it:
Super easy! You put the kombucha and the water in a bowl. Mix it all up and then wash your hair with the mixture as you normally would. Massage in thoroughly and then leave the conditioner on for 6 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly.
Have fun with the pampering program ;)
