You’ve seen it all over your feed—liquid chlorophyll, the green elixir that promises glowing skin. Most people drink it, but I decided to take a different route: I put it directly on my face.
So, did it work? Or did I just make a mess? Let’s get into it.
First, What Even Is Liquid Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green, but beyond that, it's loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory properties. Some swear it clears acne, calms redness, and boosts radiance when consumed—but what happens when you apply it topically? Naturally, I had to find out. This is the ONE I BOUGHT.
The DIY Face Mask Recipe
I kept it simple, effective, and easy to whip up—just three ingredients, no overcomplicated steps.
What You’ll Need:
-
1 teaspoon liquid chlorophyll (food-grade, of course)
-
1 tablespoon gram flour (besan) (for gentle exfoliation + oil control)
-
2 tablespoons milk (for hydration + brightening)
How to Make It:
-
Mix the chlorophyll with gram flour.
-
Slowly add milk until the texture is smooth and spreadable.
-
Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin.
-
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes (until you resemble Shrek, but in a good way 🟢).
-
Rinse off with lukewarm water and follow with your go-to moisturizer.
The Results: Glow-Up or Gimmick?
Immediately after rinsing, my skin felt cool, refreshed, and noticeably brighter. It had that just-got-a-facial smoothness. I also saw a slight reduction in redness—totally on-brand for chlorophyll’s anti-inflammatory properties.
But does it work long-term? That’s TBD. Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint, but for a quick pick-me-up? It’s a yes from me.
What I Loved:
✅ Cooling and soothing on contact
✅ Reduced redness instantly
✅ Left my skin fresh, soft, and hydrated
✅ Super easy (and cheap) DIY
What I Didn’t Love:
❌ Can stain clothes, so apply with care
❌ Results may vary depending on your skin type
Final Verdict: Would I Do It Again?
Absolutely. If my skin is feeling irritated or needs a quick refresh, I’d reach for this again in a heartbeat. It’s easy, affordable, and just fun to use (plus, it makes for a great self-care moment).
