the benefits of green tea

as most of us are aware green tea is one of the best natural substances available to us today, green tea it is rich in antioxidants & vitamins, both vital ingredients our body needs. antioxidants are amazing for our body they can repair and prevent damage to the body and they can even improve our immune system and prevent & kill cancer cells. Overall green tea is am amazing product for our body so today i am going to tell you about its benefits towards acne and how you can use it on your skin.

first things first you need to have some green tea, it is important that the green tea is 100% pure.
when buying green tea either get loose leaf tea or UN-bleached tea bags as these contain no chemicals that could be bad for your skin.

with green tea you either love it or hate it, personally i love it i have several cups a day as it keeps me alert & focused as well my overall health has improved along with my skin, breakouts are still common however they go within 1-2 days, before they could be around for weeks & i am at less risk of getting cancer.

so the first thing to do to help improve your skin is to drink pure green tea, green tea should be drank on its own and you do not need to add milk, 300ML of green tea a day will have positive benefits to health however it is more the better (try to aim for 2-3 cups)

you can also apply the green tea to your face for direct healing of the skin.
the green tea will reduce the size of breakouts & reduce redness. the green tea will also help heal your skin.
today i will teach you how to make a face wash, mask & day wash that can be applied to the skin daily.

Face wash.

what you need.

2. for ever table spoon of green tea add two table spoons of sugar.
3. mix the sugar & green tea until the consistency is rather thick.
4. once you have washed your body & hair wash you face with the green tea & sugar scrub
5. massage the mixture in to your face for 1 minuted then wash off.

this face wash will exfoliate your skin well and dead skin cells will be removed, overall your face will be rejuvenated and healthy.

Face mask

Pure green tea (cold)
liquid PVA glue
Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

4. when the mixture is thick apply to the face in the areas you want
5. one applied wait until the mask is dry & hard then peel of from the bottom of your face upwards

if you want to to use this mask again or make more that you need you can store it easily, simply lay out a piece of cling film on a flat surface then pour the mask on to it then lift up the four corners and twist them together to seal the mask, simple open the cling film up and seal again for every use.

this mask will remove dead skin cells, add colour & tine to your skin, it will also help heal the skin and prevent further damage.


Toner

4. apply a small amount of the mixture to a cotton pad and apply to the face evenly & in small amounts, do this every day before bed & wash off in the morning.

this toner may sting however it will tone the skin, prevent spots, destroy blackheads & remove dead skin. this is one of the best DIY toners you could ever make as it has visible results, i use it every other day as i find daily use can sting and cause a little redness however it is worth it!

good luck with your green tea acne kit.
