She enjoys dipping her face into a bowl of ice water, and she also enjoys using humble home remedies.

Now that’s called skincare goals! So, whether your skin needs a quick boost or wants to reduce puffiness, you should try these green tea-infused DIYs right away. Read on to know more.
Here’s How You Can Use Green Tea In Your Skincare Routine
Depuff Your Baggy Eyes With A Green Tea Eye Mask
Use a brewed cup of green tea to make your own sheet masks if you’ve exhausted yours. Soak a cotton pad in the solution after it has cooled, and then cut it into the shape of a crescent moon so that it fits under your eye. After ten minutes, rinse it off to see a noticeable decrease in puffiness and dark circles while watching your favourite Netflix series.
Scrub Away Dead Skin Cells With A Green Tea Body Scrub
In your skincare routine, your face might receive all the attention, but don’t forget that your body also needs some TLC. Before stirring in the green tea leaves from one tea bag, add one teaspoon of green tea powder to half a cup of coconut oil in a bowl. Then, add 1.5 cups of white sugar and combine everything until it resembles the crumbly consistency of a body scrub. To exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells, store it in a glass jar by the shower.
A Green Tea Mist For Instant Hydration
Allowing your skin to hydrate while you drink your morning cup of tea is a smart idea. Make your own hydrating mist by boiling two cups of water with one spoon of loose green tea for ten minutes. After it cools down, strain the mixture through a sieve, and then refrigerate it in a spray bottle. To quickly hydrate and reduce redness whenever your skin starts to feel dry during the day, lightly spritz this mixture over your face.
Your Very Own Anti-Ageing Mask
If you combine avocado and green tea, you can reap twice the benefits. Mash half an avocado and combine it with two teaspoons of green tea for supple, smooth skin. Also thoroughly combine the ingredients, then apply the concoction to your face. Before rinsing it off with cold water, give it about 15 to 20 minutes.
It’s simple to say goodbye to all your skin woes with these easy peasy DIYs.
