Green tea is an amazing ingredient for almost all recipes. You can do almost anything with it. What is more, it perfectly fits almost all skin types. Today, I want to prepare homemade green tea face scrub. I know you also love face scrubs. These scrubs are the best way to exfoliate your skin.
Dead skin cells will cause our skin to look dull. Also, dead skin cells can cause acne and other skin problems. So, to prevent all these problems, we need to regularly exfoliate our skin. There are hundreds of commercial products on the market. But we all know that those products contain harmful ingredients.
It is always better to prepare your own skin care products. This way, you will know all the ingredients you are using. And what is more, you can only choose the organic and natural ingredients. As you will have the full control, you will feel much better. Another advantage of homemade cosmetics is the process. You will have fun. You can also turn this process into a family activity. Your children will love helping you with your homemade recipes.

Gently massage your face with your DIY face scrub. Green tea face scrub will exfoliate your skin. And your skin needs that to have smooth and bright look.
If you prepare this recipe in a larger amount, you can store it in a close container. But since this recipe ahs sugar, I don’t recommend storing it for a long time.
Also, if you are using green tea bags, you can apply these bags as eye patches. So, with one ingredient, you can prepare two DIY recipes. Actually, this is what I love about DIY products. There is no limit. You can play with ingredients and create new things.
