Honey and Green Tea Facial

Okay so here is this great facial recipe!
from www.ehow.com

You need:
-Honey
-brewed Green Tea, chilled

Step 1
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water and pat dry.

Step 2
Apply a thin layer of honey to your face with clean fingers. There is no need to warm the honey beforehand; the warmth of your fingers and face will make it spreadable.

Step 3
Avoid the area around the eye as the skin in that area is very delicate. And even though honey is natural and gentle, it still isn't pleasant getting it in the eye.

Step 4
Leave the honey on for 15 to 20 minutes. It may drip occasionally, so either wear an old shirt, wrap a towel around your neck and shoulders, or better yet, run a warm bath and add some fragrant bubble bath and relax.

Step 6
Remove the honey by rinsing your face with warm water. Don't use cleanser or soap. The honey will come off fairly easily and any left behind will be removed in the next step.

Step 7
Use the green tea on a cotton ball on your face after you've removed most of the honey. Dip the cotton ball in the green tea and stoke the cotton ball over your face and neck. Don't rinse after applying the green tea. Green tea will tighten and close your pores.

If your skin feels too tight after the green tea, use a light moisturizer after the green tea has dried.

WARNING: Obviously, if you are allergic to honey, dont do this. Test it out on your wrist first, if you arent sure whether or not you will be sensitive to it.

I just did it, and my face feels so clean and tight. Its fabulous!
