I feel that it's such a waste to jsut throw the green tea bags that I use after just steeping it once. I thought that the leaves are not too big and not too small (and wouldn't be too harsh) to use as scrub so I searched for a DIY recipe and found what I'm looking for at Bubz youtube channel.
I wanted to make mine a bit more pastey so it can also act like a mask. Here's my version of Green Tea Scrub and Mask that I use all over my body.
Ingredients:
2-3 bags of used green tea, remove excess water (which acts as the scrub)
1 tbsp honey (for softening the skin)
1 and 1/2 tbsp rice flour (for skin brightening)
How to:
1. Mix the tea leaves and honey in a clean small container.
2. Add the rice flour until everything is smooth.
Just scrub the mixture on your face and all over the body and let it set for at least 5 minutes. This will gently remove dead skin cells and will soften the skin instantly. The brightening part is only noticeable after like a month of constant use (twice a week).
If you plan to use unused green tea bag, I suggest to add 1/2 teaspoon of milk to moisten the leaves or just add more honey to the mixture.
Enjoy!
Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!
