Try this recipe to decrease puffiness and tightens pores.  Safe for all skin types.

4 tsp loose green tea leaf (Tip: Cut open 2 tea bags if you don’t have loose leaves)
1 cup boiling mineral water

Boil the water and steep tea bags for at least 10 minutes to make concentrated tea. Wait for the tea to cool, then pour it into a small spritzer bottle and refrigerate. Spray toner directly on clean, just-washed skin and pat it in (or apply it with a clean cotton ball). Follow with moisturizer. (Tip: To soothe acne on normal to oily skin types, add 1/2 cup of witch hazel and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.)

Asprin Green Tea Mask Recipe

facial-mask.jpg   Skin care routine for combination skin, dry and acne prone, once per week. This is a mask and should be kept on the skin for 10 minutes. It contains aspirin which is a form is Salicylic acid and is great for keeping acne away. You don’t need to crush it. It will fall apart if you put a drop of water on the pill for a minute or two. Don’t use more than one or two aspirins or it will really sting and dry out your face.

One aspirin
Two teaspoons full fat unsweetened yogurt
(can also use olive oil or almond oil)
One teaspoon green tea powder macha tea
One teaspoon honey

Mix it together and apply to face and neck. After 10 minutes you can gently exfoliate your skin with the aspirin bits. You can make a large batch and it will store for several weeks in the fridge.
