Day 4: Refresh with a Green Tea Toner - Your Natural Antioxidant Boost

Welcome to Day 4 of our 30-Day Glow-Up Challenge! Today, we're exploring the natural wonders of green tea, not just as a healthful drink but as a rejuvenating facial toner. Rich in antioxidants, green tea can enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

Benefits of Green Tea for Skin:

• Antioxidant Power: Green tea is loaded with antioxidants, which help in fighting free radicals and reduce signs of aging.
• Reduces Inflammation: Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin.
• Controls Oiliness: Green tea is beneficial for managing oil production, making it great for acne-prone skin.

Creating Your Green Tea Toner:

1. Ingredients: You’ll need only green tea bags (or loose-leaf green tea) and water.
2. Brewing: Steep the green tea in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Cooling: Let the tea cool down to room temperature.
4. Application: Once cooled, transfer the tea to a clean bottle. Use a cotton pad to apply the toner to your cleansed face gently. You can also use a spray bottle for a mist application.
5. Storage: Store the toner in your refrigerator for up to a week.

Using Green Tea Toner in Your Skincare Routine:

• When to Apply: Use the green tea toner after cleansing your face and before applying moisturizer.
• Frequency: You can use this toner twice daily – in the morning and evening.

Additional Tips:

• Enhance Your Toner: For extra benefits, consider adding a few drops of essential oil like lavender or tea tree, depending on your skin type.
• Sensitive Skin Caution: Always do a patch test when introducing new ingredients to your skincare routine.
