GREEN TEA EXFOLIANT
Start the week on the right foot with a moment for you, I leave you a recipe that you can easily make with ingredients that you surely have at home.
This exfoliant is perfect to eliminate dead cells and take advantage of the antioxidants of green tea as well as the properties of honey that not only nourishes, cleans and hydrates but is also antibacterial, therefore it eliminates any bacteria on the face (so if you have any acne problem is great). Olive oil helps prevent aging while sugar helps us keep the skin hydrated as well as cell renewal, leaving it looking fresh.
Ingredients:
Dried green tea leaves (2 to 4 tea bags, you can also use match a or green tea powder)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup of olive oil (look for it to be 100% natural and not mixed)
2 tablespoons of honey
You will only need a container of preference with a lid so you can store what is left, in which you will mix everything perfectly until it has a pasty consistency. Store it in a cool place that does not get the sun, to apply just put a little on your face and/or body and gently massage in circles for a few seconds. Remove it with warm water and then use cold water to close the pores.
You can do it every 2 weeks since sugar can be a little abrasive for the skin if you do it very often and if you have sensitive skin it is preferable to do it every 3 weeks. It is especially recommended for normal to combination or oily skin.
