Green Tea For Skin Care

Green tea is a common tea that many people drink. Many people enjoy drinking coffee but personally I love green tea. Not only does it taste great but it has other great uses as well. Mainly reusing the teabag for skin care.

For those new to green tea, try the following. A more complete step by step how to guide is at the bottom of this article.

Fill a large bowl with cold water
Get a green tea teabag and soak it in the water
Wash your face with the green tea water

Now if you wash your face regularly with the steps above, this method helps to maintain smooth and beautiful skin due to green tea’s functioning as a suppressant for the production of excessive sebum secretion, which is a cause for acne. Green tea also treats other skin problems and provides moisture, has a sterilizing effect and anti-aging ingredient. You could say that green tea isn’t just for drinking but it’s also a skin care treatment.

Green Tea for Eye Mask Alternative

You can also use the teabag as an alternative for expensive eye masks or eye creams. Polyphenol contained in green tea helps absorbs toxins in the skin, provides moisture and prevents skin aging, fine wrinkles and dark circles.

Get a teabag, you could also use the same teabag that you used to wash your face, as explained above, and place it over your eyes. Simple, cheap and very beneficial skin care treatments.

How to Cleanse and use Green Tea for Skin Care

Infuse green tea leaves or 2-3 green tea tea bags in cold water after drinking the tea (so as not to waste anything).
After cleansing your face, splash the cold green tea water on your face so that the ingredients can be absorbed into your skin.
Use this method twice a day for the best results. If you originally have some skin problems, you should see an improvement in your facial skin condition in about 2 weeks.
