DIY | Green Tea Facial

Green tea does amazing things for your skin, whether you drink it or use it in a cleanser, moisturizer, or the like. Tea oil is known for helping with numerous types of skin. It doesn't leave skin oily or shiny, just moisturizes and leaves your skin glowing.

There are really three different ways to go about using green tea in your skin care routine.

1. Using the actual tea bag.
After you make your tea (or if you don't drink tea, just run it under hot water), rub the tea bag on your face to reduce any redness or irritation. Do this for about two minutes until the tea bag is cool.

2. Using the tea in your cleanser.
This is what I mean by ground tea, it's easier to mix with the cleanser
This is my preferred method. Put your normal amount of cleanser in a bowl, cut open the tea bag, and mix the two together. Leave this mixture on for about five minutes and then rinse off. Buying just generic green tea would work best for this. I have a loose leaf green tea and I normally just squeeze extra tea or add tea to the mixture if I don't have a bag that has ground tea.

3. Green Tea Mask
Cut open a tea bag and mix it with honey (make sure it's untreated, raw honey) until it becomes a paste. Apply to your face and leave on for five to ten minutes and rinse off with warm water.

If you make green tea a part of your skin care routine, you will have glowing, less irritated skin in no time! This is a cheap way to help your skin out, a 40 count box of Lipton Green Tea is less than $4.

DIY | Homemade (Almost) Microdermabrasion

Hello, sweets! So, if you've ever had microdermabrasion or a facial in general you know how amazing your face looks and feels. Unfortunately, they're not exactly on the cheap side. So, I've found this little DIY recipe that leaves your skin feeling great and looking a little bit more bright! 


What you'll need:
-A bowl or cup
-Baking Soda
-Circular face brush 



You'll start off by putting 3 parts baking soda in your bowl/cup
you'll then need to add one part water (the less amount the better)
then you will stir the mix together until it looks like glue and feels like cream of wheat.

tips: I suggest using in the morning that way you don't have any left over make up from the day. Also, in my experience I wouldn't keep it on your face for longer than 30 seconds (maxium). I also would only do this once every week and a half, you can definitely go for more if you feel like you're needing it but, I only do it once every two weeks.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope this helps any of you who are dying for microdermabrasion but are a little tight on money! 


Let me know how your experiences are trying it!

DIY | Oatmeal Mask for Acne Scars

     Hello Sweeties! So, today will just be a quick little post! I'm in the process of moving so everything is kind of hectic, but I just wanted to give you guys a little somethin'! I originally found this recipe on a beauty pinterest post, but I have come to really enjoy it.

  what you will need:
- 3 tbsp of honey
2 tbsp of oatmeal
- 1 tbsp of lemon juice

directions:
- Put the oatmeal into a small bowl
- add in the honey
- mix well
- optional: add in the lemon juice




     

     I would advise doing this in the bathroom because it can get a little messy. I also would suggest wearing a towel or robe on your chest. It may drip.

     Sorry for the briefness this week on my end, lovelies! I am just trying to get all packed up and settled in.
Have a wonderful week <3
