Here’s how:.

: Ingredients

1 tablespoon of loose green tea leaves or 1 green tea bag
1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers or 1 drop of lavender essential oil
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of plain yogurt

: Instructions

Brew 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves in 1/2 cup of hot water or steep the green tea bag in the hot water for a few minutes. Let it cool down to room temperature.
In a small bowl, mix in 1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers or 1 drop of lavender essential oil.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt to the bowl.
Pour in the cool green tea into the bowl and mix all the ingredients together until they are well blended.
Apply the mixture onto your face, avoiding the eye area.
Leave on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

: Benefits

Green tea is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging. The caffeine in green tea also helps to tighten and firm the skin.

Lavender is known for its calming properties and is great for soothing irritated skin. Honey is a natural humectant that helps to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. Yogurt contains lactic acid that gently exfoliates the skin and helps to unclog pores.

: Precautions

If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on a small area first before applying the mask on your face. Avoid using lavender essential oil if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

: Conclusion

The green tea and lavender face mask is not only easy to make, but also a great way to pamper yourself and give your skin some much-needed TLC. So go ahead and indulge in a little tea time for your face!.
