Green Tea Facial Mist Recipe To Brighten & Refresh Your Skin!

Repair, revive and rejuvenate your dull skin with this green tea face mist!

By Kumutha

Be it winter or summer, you can never really escape humidity in India! Which is why, you need to always keep this hydrating green tea face mist with you 24x7 and that is how to instantly revive and refresh your dull skin naturally!

Why green tea, you ask? packed with a chock-full of antioxidants, green tea is that 'pick-me-up' your skin needs to restore its lost vitality after end of the day.

Plus, green tea has antibacterial properties that soothe irritated skin, control excess oil secretion and repair the damaged skin cells.

Other ingredients included in this herbal mist to refresh skin are rose water, rosehip oil and lemon zest. Rosehip oil is full of omega-6 fatty acids that lock in the moisture, preventing it from escaping through open pores.

Rose water acts as a toner, and lemon zest awakens the skin cells. Citric acid present in lemon acts as a mild exfoliant that scrapes off the top dead skin layer, resulting in smooth and clear complexion.

All the ingredients used in this DIY facial mist are ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to revive your dull skin naturally. Take a look.
