It contains tannin, which acts as a soothing agent on skin. The polyphenols and alkaloid caffeine in green tea make it a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant product for skin.

How to use: Brew green tea, chill and use as a toner. The decant can also be mixed with oatmeal and honey and used as a soothing and hydrating mask for all skin types. Leave on for half an hour, wash off. less
