How to Make a Green Tea Facial

Green tea is known to give people a youthful and smooth complexion when applied as a green tea face mask. Some salons charge $150 or more for a green tea facial, but you can make one at home for less than $2! Enjoy it regularly as a form of self-care, with friends, or treat you and your mother to a home green tea facial together. This facial is loaded with anti-oxidants, is said to even out the skin tone, and is very hydrating to the skin.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions
