Green tea is a popular ingredient in skincare, thanks to its potent antioxidant properties and ability to soothe inflammation. It's also a great option for those looking for a natural alternative to traditional skincare products. One way to incorporate green tea into your beauty routine is by making a DIY green tea face cream. This cream can help to brighten and smooth the skin, while also providing hydration and nourishment. The addition of essential oils, vitamin E, and collagen-boosting ingredients can further enhance the cream's anti-aging benefits, helping to improve skin texture, elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of using a DIY green tea face cream, as well as provide tips on how to make and use this skincare treatment at home. Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, a green tea face cream can be a great addition to your skincare routine for brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Ingredients0.25 oz (by weight!) bees wax
1 oz almond oil
1 oz organic raw coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon of Rose Hip Seed Oil
1 packet of organic green tea
Method* Add beeswax, almond oil and coconut oil in a double boiler. In this step, we need to melt all the ingredients. I will give you a tip below if you don’t have a double boiler.
* Melt everything in the double boiler.
* After all the oils are melted, open green tea bag. If you are using green tea leaves, you don’t need to do this step.
* Pour green tea in this oil mixture. Combine all ingredients.
* Wait for 10-15 minutes. Green tea extract will be absorbed by oils.
* Transfer the mixture in a clean container.
* Use a hand mixer to whip all ingredients. You need to obtain creamy consistency.

Alternative to Double BoilerIf you are a pro in DIY, you probably have a double boiler at home. But if you are a newbie, double boiler might not be in your house. So, I wanted to give you an alternative if you don’t have a double boiler.
So, you can use two pots for this purpose. First pot will be larger than the second pot. Fill the first pot with water. You can fill it until the half. Add all the oils in the second pot. Place this second pot inside the first pot. Put the first pot on stove. Mix ingredients in the second pot until everything melts. Melting ingredients is super simple even without double boiler.
How To StoreThis is one of the common questions. Since we are using oils, you can store your homemade green tea face cream for a long time. I mean for about a month or two. And this is a long time for DIY cosmetic products.
But you need to be careful about storing. Try to keep you mixture in a clean container. Also, keep the container in dry and cool place away from direct sunlight.
