Interesting info on green tea and its many natural health benefits and beauty uses.

-SOME DETAILS FROM VIDEO (not all! watch for the rest!)-
*Drink tea under 65C/149F to reduce the chance of esophageal (throat) cancer by 8-fold. So, wait a few mins before sipping your brew. =)

*Brew and chill green tea, soak with cotton balls (or chill actual tea bags), and put on eyes for 10 - 15 mins.

*Mask: Mix 1 tbsp (i accidentally said “tsp” in the vid) of powdered green tea with an egg white and 1 tsp. of pure honey. Whip them together (fork, chopsticks, etc.). Apply and leave on for about 30 mins. Rinse off, apply moisturizer.

*Green tea & almond scrub: Mix 1/3 cup of finely ground almonds with 1/3 cup of wheat bran. Stir it into 1 cup of hot green tea. Stir in 1 tbsp (again, i said “tsp” in the vid. i don’t cook so i’m not accustomed to these abbreviations, haha) of olive oil and massage scrub into dry areas. Rinse off with warm water, apply moisturizer.

Thanks to xxTamilPridexx for the request!
