Green tea has a lot of antioxidants that benefits the body in many ways and can even be used to treat acne. Its one of the most natural ways to help your skin appear brighter and flawless. Today I am reviewing green tea mask from Plum Goodness.
A little about the brand

What does Plum Goodness claim about Green Tea Clear Face Mask
Oil-control mask

Get instantly brighter, healthier-looking skin. A soft, creamy formula that applies nicely and is also easy to wash off, without drying your face. Gentle exfoliation of glycolic acid removes dead cells and impurities, while antioxidant benefit of organic green tea extracts helps control acne (pimples) over the long run. A must-have product for oily and combination skin types.

Green tea extracts : Concentrated source of polyphenols and other antioxidants, to stop the acne formation cycle in its tracks. Oxidation of skin-produced sebum is a key step in acne formation – something we are looking to stop here.
Glycolic acid : Sweeps away skin debris and prepares the skin for self-renewal. Our goodness chemists know exactly what’s required to do the job without overdoing it.
Ingredients
Aqua (Water), Bentonite, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerine, Fragrance, FDA Approved Colours, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycolic Acid, Kaolin, Phenoxyethanol
How to use
Gently apply a thin layer over all areas of the face, taking care not to let the product enter your eyes. Wait for about 30 minutes or until the mask dries completely, and wash off with plain water. Do not scrub face with towel, gently pat dry and use a gentle moisturizer to seal in the goodness ingredients. Use once a week.
Please note: You are likely to experience a slight tingling sensation on your skin for the first few minutes after application – this is entirely normal for bentonite clay masks as they get to work removing the grime and dead cells from your skin.
More Pictures
This is my first ever plum product. I have a sensitive – combination skin which is oily on the T zone area and dry elsewhere. This pack is very easy to use . I use my spatula to spread the pack evenly on areas except under eyes. On application, a mild tingling sensation occurs which reduces after a minute.
This mask really helps in removing oiliness and dirt from your skin, makes your skin radiant and soft from the very first use. It has the scent of green tea which lingers on till the pack completely dries off which is about 10-15 minutes. This drying time purely depends on how thick a layer you have applied on your face. As its a clay based mask – Its little bit drying on skin. I immediately apply a thick cream based moisturizer all over my face after taking off the mask. I use this mask once a week and this works great for keeping acne at bay- soothes existing acne and dries out acne quickly.
Pros
-No parabens, SLS and other harmful ingredients
-Pleasant green tea fragrance
-Easy to apply and wash off
-Provides instant clean up to the face
-Cleanses pores thoroughly ;reduce oil;
-Goodness of Bentonite clay, Green Tea and Glycolic acid
Cons
-Only available online
-Heavy glass packaging makes it messier to carry around. Also takign product spatula is so inconvenient. I prefer tube packaging for masks/packs
Overall, Its a great mask for acne prone – sensitive skin. Provides an instant clean-up for face making it radiant and healthy.

for drying out new acne that pops up, this green tea mask is good…It also help remove dirt and impurities from your face and keep your face squeaky clean which prevents further breakouts….If you are looking for a product to remove acne scars, I would suggest u use a facial oil such as kiehls midnight recovery oil / trilogy rosehip oil etc which when used regularly, helps u get rid of acne marks. You can also try mixing freshly ground nutmeg/cinnamon powder+ organic honey as a paste and apply only on acne and wash off after 10-15 minutes. do it continuously for a week. u will see acne scars vanishing…this works on all new acne scars…

Thanks for the reply dear!! I was little skeptical whether to buy this mask or not because I already have 10s of mask like sandalwood etc.
Also can you pls help me with whether i Should choose roseship oil or Kiehls midnight recovery. If roseship oil then from which brand( I have seen Juicy chemistry, Soulflower, SSCP or trilogy itself). Sorry, for bombarding with questions. I have very bad skin right now and loads of product in my vanity so want to indulge in best products only 🙂
