Methods for applying green tea to the skin

Following are some methods for applying green tea to the skin:
1. Green tea and oatmeal mask
3 tablespoons of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of honey
leaves of one green tea bag
1/4 cup hot water
Mix the hot water, green tea leaves and the oatmeal into a paste. Blend and stir in the honey and brown sugar. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
2. Green tea and egg mask
Pour boiling water over a green tea bag, as if preparing it to drink, and let it cool. Then mix the tea thoroughly with the white of an egg. Apply the mask to your face and leave on for 20-30 minutes You'll feel your face becoming tight. Then rinse the mask off with warm water.
3. Rejuvenating green tea mask
½ teaspoon green tea powder (try a Korean store if you're having difficulty finding it)
1 teaspoon flour (any kind is fine)
Warm water
Mix the green tea powder and flour together, then add the water, a little at a time. The mixture should be a thin paste that won't run down your face. Apply it all over your face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with warm water. It's best to use this mask every day.
4. Make a cup of green tea and dab it on the acne.
5. Use the tea bag (after making tea with it) and dab your skin with the tea bag. Rinse it off after the tea has dried on your face.
There have also been studies that have shown that creams containing green tea have been as effective in treating acne as 4% solution of benzoyl peroxide.
And with all the benefits of green tea, the only possible side effect green tea might have is insomnia. Green tea contains caffeine and, although it contains less than other teas and coffee, you probably shouldn't drink it before going to bed.
Whether you use green tea topically and/or drink it as a beverage, it could prove to be an effective, natural, and safe acne treatment for you.
