This allows targeted treatment of problem areas without having to get your hands dirty. But why is the Green Mask being celebrated by so many influencers on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube?

What remains is a flawless complexion. At this point, many a: e skeptic: in whether the really works as well as the internet would like them to believe.

The antioxidants contained in green tea have an antibacterial effect and are therefore used in many beauty products that are supposed to help against skin blemishes such as pimples or blackheads – also in the Green Mask Stick.

- Cleanse your face with a mild washing lotion to remove dirt particles and make-up residues from the skin.
- Apply the Green Mask Stick gently around the eyes and lips on the desired skin areas.
- Leave the face mask on for ten minutes before washing off the remains with lukewarm water.
