Use Green Tea on Your Face to Achieve Prettier Skin

Green tea has antioxidants that benefit 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. This article shows you ways to use it on your face.

Steps

Using green tea

  1. If you already drink tea, switch to green tea. It will work better if you already drink it regularly. After each cup of green tea that you drink, remove the teabag and cut it open. Empty the content into a small cup and add a little honey to make it into a paste. Make sure your face is clean before you apply the paste. Leave it on for ten minutes, then rinse it off. 
Benefits include brighter skin, reduction of acne, and if you drink tea strong hair!

Green tea neat

  1. Splash green tea on your face. Prepare hot green tea and let it cool. When it has cooled, go to a sink and pour some tea from the mug into your hand. Splash it all over your face repeatedly until there's no more tea. Then rinse your face with cool water.
  2. If you are about to go somewhere and need to look nice and fresh-faced but don't have the time for a full facial, try this. Take a green teabag and run it over super hot water, enough to make it steamy. Squeeze out some of the water (but not all of it) and rub the teabag all over your face for one or two minutes or until the teabag has cooled off and isn't steamy anymore.

Green tea with facial cleanser

  1. Use green tea on your face early in the morning with your facial cleanser. To arrive to school or work with a glowing face, add green tea to your cleanser.
  2. Run a green teabag over super hot water. Cut it open and empty its content into a small cup.
  3. Use your usual facial cleanser. A cream cleanser such as Noxzema or Clearasil will work best, since the creamy texture and green tea will bind together better. Spoon {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} (doesn't have to be exact) of the cleanser into the cup.
  4. Mix it all together with the spoon. It should look like thick white cream with lots of green flecks in it.
  5. Spread it on your face. Leave it on for 5 minutes, go make your bed to pass the time, then rinse it off.

Green tea steam facial

  1. Make a green tea steam facial. Boil some water and then pour it into a large bowl. Take a green teabag, cut it open, and empty the content into the hot water. Take a towel and place it over your head. Then bend over the bowl, making sure your face isn't very close to the water, but close enough to feel the steam. Stay under for only five minutes.

Green tea rosewater

  1. Make or buy rosewater.
  2. Heat the rosewater. Don't let it cool, while it's still boiling pour it into a bowl with a bag of green tea into it.
  3. Leave the teabag there for 3-5 minutes. Then throw it out.
  4. Let the mixture cool. Pour it into a spray bottle or a regular bottle.
  5. Store it in the fridge.
  6. Use it as a toner at night to tighten your skin; over time, this will help to slow the aging process.[1] Alternatively, use it in the morning to brighten your skin and under eye area and make you look more awake (because of the caffeine).

Green tea toner

  1. Make a pot of green tea. Let it fully infuse.
  2. Pour the cooled green tea into a sterilized container with a lid.
  3. Dip a cotton ball into the green tea. Rub it all over your face twice a day to add moisture and unclog pores.
  4. Keep it until it runs out. Store in a cool and dark place.

Green tea and yogurt facial

  1. Steep a green teabag in boiling water. You might like to use a detox green tea but that's not essential.
  2. Remove the teabag. Cool slightly, enough to not burn your face. Open the teabag and press leaves onto your skin, evenly. There will be clumping. Don't rub too hard and avoid getting too close under the eyes.
  3. Use a full fat plain yogurt. After five minutes, apply yogurt onto face with the tea leaves still on. Make a facial paste on your face and distribute evenly. Leave on another five to ten minutes.
  4. Gently remove with a lukewarm washcloth. Your skin should feel soothed and fresh.
  5. Finish by pouring the remaining tea into a sterile fine mist spray bottle. Mist your face, neck and chest.
