Green tea is an herbal drink that has been known for centuries. It is primarily known for its antioxidant properties and stimulating effects. Green tea contains polyphenols that scavenge free radicals and toxins, and are also a cancer prevention agent! Also, green tea contains a number of substances that have a beneficial effect on the skin. Green tea toner can provide some UV protection, reduce inflammation, and increase skin elasticity. Green tea cleanses the skin, shrinks pores and gives the skin a youthful glow. Green tea toner can be prepared at home. This is a fairly cheap way to take care of your skin. In this article, we'll show you how to make a green tea toner at home.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Toner Base

1. 1 Add 1 bag of green tea or 2 tablespoons of loose green tea to a cup of boiled water (236 ml).
2. 2 Leave the tea for 3-5 minutes.
3. 3 Remove the tea bag and pour the liquid into an airtight container. If you are brewing loose leaf green tea, pour the tea through a strainer into an airtight container.
   • You can also use a small, clean aerosol spray bottle.
4. 4 This green tea toner should be applied to your face and neck 2 times a day. Dip a cotton pad in the tea and rub it over your skin. If you are using a spray bottle instead of a container, simply spray the toner onto your skin. Do not rinse.
5. 5 The toner should be stored in the refrigerator for approximately 3 days.

Method 2 of 2: Green tea with baking soda

1. 1 Place one green tea bag or 2 tablespoons of loose leaf green tea (approximately 30 ml) in a glass of boiled water (236 ml).
2. 2 Add some lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of honey (30 ml) to the tea. Honey has a rejuvenating effect and lemon juice evens out skin tone.
3. 3 Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) witch hazel with a few drops of vitamin E and tea tree oil. These products can be found in pharmacies and some supermarkets. Witch hazel cleanses the skin while vitamin E protects it from sun damage and burns. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory effects.
4. 4 Add 1 cup (15 ml) baking soda. The baking soda may foam a little at first and should be mixed well.
   • Green tea toner with baking soda helps soothe skin from irritants, burns, and cuts. Baking soda and witch hazel will increase shelf life. This toner can be stored at room temperature for about 8 days and in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
5. 5 Pour toner into an airtight container or spray bottle.
6. 6 Apply the toner to your face and neck about 2 times a day to unclog pores and protect your skin from sun damage. The toner can be applied with a cotton pad or simply sprayed on. Do not rinse off after application.
