Homemade Moisturiser For Oily Skin
Green tea has an ancient background and is used in tons
of beauty products, thanks to its cure-all status and obvious
healing properties. With a high level of antioxidant content, it
bids impressive results on oily skin and definitely doesn’t feel
like an oil slick, neither dries out your skin.
It’s a mistake if you believe that oily skin doesn’t need
moisture, because if it isn’t sufficiently moisturised, oily skin
produces more sebum to make up for dehydration. A few
other bonuses of using green tea are reduced sun damage,
acne, and premature ageing.
This recipe uses only two ingredients: green tea and coconut
oil. In case of any allergies or sensitivities, you can switch up
coconut oil for some other botanical oil.
Ingredients
• Loose Green Tea 2 Tbs.
• Coconut Oil 1 cup
Method
• Take a double boiler and melt coconut oil on medium heat.
• Add in the green tea and give a stir.
• Cover the boiler and let it simmer for an hour over the
lowest heat setting.
• Use cheesecloth to separate green tea from coconut oil.
• Let it cool until solid.
• Then whip them together for 3-5 minutes or until creamy.
