Green Tea Facial Steam


you can have an inexpensive facial steam that can open your skin's pores while deeply cleaning and nourishing your skin's layers. I love the Idea of using Green Tea simply because its actually skin friendly herb and is all-natural ingredients. I normally do this once a week, the results is by far satisfying!

By creating a facial steam infused with green tea in order to achieve added benefits. Green tea has been the tea of choice in Eastern cultures. Filled with antioxidants, it can protect your skin from free radicals and leave you with a youthful, healthy glow. (worried? do your research!, I guarantee you is all proven!)

Things You'll Need:


  • Pot of water
  • Stove
  • Towel
  • Potholder
  • Green Tea toner (self made)
  • Cold water


Instructions :

  • Step 1

    Take a deep pot and boil water. Turn off the stove and either place a green tea bag in the water or open the tea bag and release the leaves into the pot. Let the water sit and cool for a few minutes while the green tea settles into the water.


  • Step 2

    Pull hair back from the face. Use a headband, ponytail or both, depending on how short or long your hair is.


  • Step 3

    Prepare the location of your facial steam. Place a pot on a potholder near the edge on the surface of a table. Place a chair in front of the pot. Sit in front of the pot. If the water is so hot that it is painful, wait until it cools to a warm but manageable temperature.


  • Step 4

    Place the towel over your head and create a tent. Lean forward above the pot and let your head hang over the steam pot. Be sure not to sit too close. Remain over the pot for 15 minutes.


  • Step 5

    Use cool water to rinse face and apply the green tea toner ( below is the instruction for the toner)



    Green Tea Toner :

    Its rather simple, all u need is boiling water, a cup, green tea leaves (or a teabag) and a container for storage!


    pour the boiling water. 1/2 cup

    a tablespoon of green tea (or one teabag)

    Leave it to cool. drain the leaves and store into a container. DONE!

    when apply, dap the toner on a facial cotton and apply onto face.


  • * you can store the toner in a airtight container and leave it in your fridge for a week. The toner is best used every night before going to bed.*


    IT'S ALL SIMPLE AND NATURAL!
