Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 green tea bag (or 1 teaspoon loose green tea)
  • 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
  • 1–1½ tablespoons raw honey (Manuka or any pure honey)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon plain yogurt (for extra soothing and mild exfoliation)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (for added hydration)
  • Optional: A few drops of jojoba or squalane oil (for dry areas)

Instructions
 

  • Brew a strong green tea concentrate. Steep the tea bag in 2 tablespoons of hot water for 5–7 minutes. Let it cool to lukewarm.
  • Mix with honey. In a small bowl, stir 1 tablespoon of honey with 1–2 teaspoons of the cooled tea. Add more tea drop by drop until you get a spreadable, slightly thick texture.
  • Customize if you like. For extra calm, mix in aloe. For gentle smoothing, add yogurt. For dry patches, add a few drops of light oil.
  • Prep your skin. Cleanse your face and pat dry. Tie back hair or use a headband.
  • Apply evenly. Use clean fingers or a brush to spread a thin layer over your face, avoiding the eye area. Don’t forget your neck if you have extra.
  • Leave on for 10–15 minutes. If it drips, you used too much liquid—dab gently and relax.
  • Rinse well. Use lukewarm water and gentle circular motions. Pat dry and follow with your favorite moisturizer.
