curse the mild wild mondays!!

안녕하새요!
yo, people! whats diggin' in the land of blogger? have you all been wondering the a wondrous mountains of daisy's waiting for summer to come. Or just dwelling in the caves wishing that the moon lit drops of water were as cold as ice, so you could escape the summer heat. Either way I think you'll like my little skin care surprise!

Today I'd be postin' about green tea.
green tea is consumed by a lot of people on a daily basis and while it keeps you insides super squeaky clean, it also dose that for you face!(man, who knew! (; )
I, as you know have very mild rosacea. And trying to find some thing natural, (that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.) to use cam across green tea.
I last posted about rice water which has its great benefits. But so dose green tea.
So I use it together, along with my regular washing stuff, my normal toner, and my simple oil free moisturizer.(It dose help to keep acne under control.)

I only use the rice water like once or twice a week thought ( Its only when ever I get around to cooking my rice. Hehe...) but Because I drink green tea like twice a day {once in the morning for that extra lift, and once at night, the warmth soothes and calms me.} It is having a much faster visible affect on my skin. And, the affect is, GOOD!
But when I do use rice water I don't use the green tea that same wash.

So, now here's where you learn the awesomeness about green tea!
For me green tea smooths my skin, makes my rosacea go away and keeps my pores closed(but I don't apply it when it's hot to my face only after it has been chilled in the fridge.) It also has gotten rid of these, what seemed like "permanent bags" under my eyes. (It happens when you stay up till like 2 in the morning play spyro dawn of the dragon... hehe gotta love my ps2...)
It also gave my skin a natural healthy kind of firmness I had lost from staying up so late.(yeah, I know. Staying up just isn't the way to go; that's why I have gone in to sleep rehab, I have a strict schedule of be in bed by nine- nine thirty and wake up at 6.) And apparently it, if used for a long time in a regular basis, leaves your skin with all of the affect I have said above permanently!
(Of course by then you already have gotten so set in applying green tea to your face that you probably won't stop.)
So, are you ready to rock?! Hahaha! :D

Okay, first you'll need a cup,some green tea,
(I prefer to use the lose green tea, but, it really is a more personal choice.)

and filtered or bottled water (works best because there aren't as many impurity's.).

step 1. get a cup of water and place it in the microwave for one minuet, or, you could heat up the water on top of the stove in a tea pot.(the time may vary in a tea pot.)

step 2. let the water get at a comfortable temperature.

step 3. put either some green tea lives in a little mesh filter thing, or use the already in a bag tea. put it in the water and let it sit for about 3 mins.

step 4. (my favorite step!) drink the green tea, until there is about one fourth a cup of tea left.(I would advise you not to add any sweeteners to your tea, as this is going on your face I don't think it would be fun to have a sticky face. (: )
step 5. apply the green tea to your face. (you can just splash it on.) and leave it there as if it was a toner.
after the green tea has air dried on you face you can apply regular toner, moisturizer, etc!
(also make sure you wash your face before putting the green tea on your face.)

thanks for reading!
