In this mask recipe, mānuka honey is paired with the free-radical-fighting and antioxidant-rich matcha tea powder, the calming and cleansing qualities of oatmeal and the soothing power of aloe for a combination that can refresh and revitalize aging and/or dry skin.

Instructions
- In a blender, grind oats into a fine powder.
- Combine mānuka honey, matcha, fine ground oatmeal and aloe in a small dish, and stir to make a thick paste. Add a bit more matcha or ground oatmeal if the mixture is too wet. If it is too dry, add a little more mānuka honey.
