REQUEST: Green Tea Tricks: Health & Beauty Tips
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.
