The Recipe Of Basic Green Tea Toner
Take a cup of boiling water. Then add about 30 ml of loose leaves of green tea into it. You can also take one green tea bag into the cup. Leave it for about three to five minutes so that the water can soak the green tea nicely. Thereafter take out the green tea bag and decant the liquid into a sealed container.

In case, if you use loose leaves, then decant the tea with the help of a strainer into an airtight bottle. Another way to store this toner is to store it in a small spray bottle.

This is one of the simplest steps to prepare green tea toner. Apply this toner all over your neck and face at least twice a day. Take a cotton ball and soak it in your home made green tea toner and apply it on your face.

1. Take about 30 ml of loose leaves of green tea and add it to a cup of hot water. You can also take one green tea bag instead. Thereafter add about 30 ml honey and lemon juice (of one lemon) to the green tea soaked water. Lemon brightens the skin and honey has anti-ageing properties.

Vitamin E cures the sun-damaged skin and the witch hazel helps in cleansing the skin. You can get all these items in a medicine store or in a health food store.

3. Take baking soda (about 15 ml) and dissolve it in the above liquid mix. Initially the baking soda will create some froth but if you stir the liquid continuously it will be mixed properly.

The main purpose of using baking soda in preparing green tea toner is because it helps to soothe your skin from cuts or burns. It also acts like an exfoliator.

Moreover, witch hazel and baking soda make this toner more long-lasting as compared to the basic green tea toner. Store this toner in the refrigerator for about two weeks. Thereafter, decant it into a sealed bottle or a spray bottle.

Apply this toner on your neck and face twice a day to heal your sun-damaged skin and also to cleanse the pores of your facial skin. Apply it either by spraying or with a cotton ball. Rinsing is not required.
