Boil the Water: 🌊
Start by bringing your distilled water to a gentle boil in a pot on the stove. You want it nice and hot for the tea. -
Prepare the Tea Leaves: 🍃
While the water is heating up, take your two green tea bags and open them up. Empty the leaves into a clean glass or ceramic bowl. -
Steep the Tea: ☕
Once the water is at a gentle boil, carefully pour it over the loose tea leaves in the bowl. Allow the leaves to steep in the hot water for a cozy 2-3 minutes, releasing all those fantastic antioxidants. -
Strain the Tea: 🌿
After the tea has steeped, it’s time to strain out those leaves. Use a fine-mesh sieve or a piece of clean cheesecloth to catch the leaves as you pour the tea into another clean container. You want just the liquid gold for your toner! -
Cool Down: ❄️
Let your freshly brewed green tea toner cool down to room temperature. This step is crucial to avoid any burns or discomfort when applying it to your skin. -
Application: 🧖♀️
Once the toner is cool, it’s time to pamper your skin! Grab a cotton pad or soft piece of gauze and gently apply the toner to your face. You can dab it on or swipe it across—whatever feels best for your skin. -
No Rinse Needed: 🚫🌊
Here’s the best part: You don’t need to rinse this off! Let the toner work its magic on your skin. It’ll leave you feeling refreshed, toned, and ready to tackle the day. Plus, the natural scent of green tea is simply divine.
That’s it! Your homemade Green Tea Skin Toner is ready to use. Store any leftovers in a clean, airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Enjoy the soothing benefits of green tea for your skin, and cheers to a natural, radiant glow! 🍵✨
