DIY: Hydrating Green Tea Mask

Honey is a humectant; it holds moisture inside your skin.

Green tea provides soothing, healing relief to skin, making it the perfect ingredient for a homemade face mask for acne and oily skin. Green tea works well for sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh chemicals or abrasives. As a natural antioxidant, the tea slows the aging process and rejuvenates skin. The tea is easy to find; just look for it in the tea section of any store carrying tea. Drink a soothing cup of green tea while the mask is on for an extra lift.

• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• Spoon
• 1/2 teaspoon of green tea
• Bowl
• Cotton wool pad
