There are many factors that affect our skin but we tend to ignore. Factors like pollution, eating unhealthy food, and chemical and sun exposure, could prove to be very harmful to our skin, especially the face. Let us know about an easy method we could use to keep our facial skin glowing and healthy.
We keep hearing about the benefits of green tea, and surely we have tried it at least once, and are aware that consuming curd can be very good for our gut. But did you know both of these ingredients, so commonly found in our homes, can also be used for skincare? According to studies, green tea consists of vitamins C, B, E and K, and the curd is rich in lactic acid, which proves to be very useful for our skin and health in general.
Making face masks out of these two ingredients could help you get glowing healthy skin. Interestingly, the mixture of the two could also be used as an anti-ageing mask. To make the face mask, you need 1 tablespoon of green tea and 2 tablespoons of fresh curd. Simply mix the two ingredients well, and apply the paste to your face. After applying it, make sure to leave the mask for 20 minutes, then wash your face with lukewarm water. You can also add turmeric powder to the green tea-curd mix as it could help you with getting rid of puffy eyes and dark circles.
Studies suggest that green tea can help with reducing age spots, wrinkles and fine lines because it contains polyphenols which help with neutralizing harmful free radicals.
Some more benefits of green tea are that it helps in reducing inflammation of the skin, and even sunburn and small cuts. Green tea also has polyphenols which help you get rid of itching, irritation and swelling of the skin due to some medical conditions. It helps with acne reduction, clearing of the clogged pores, keeping the skin hydrated and oil control in the skin.
