Y-Yo Chemical Free Tip of the Month:

DIY Green Tea Facial Mist

Green tea is marvellous! I wish that I had a dollar for every time I’ve read what it can be used for in one’s chemical-free beauty regime. This month’s tip is a recipe for Green Tea Facial Mist – perfect for the hot summer month of January.

Steep 10 green tea bags (or half a cup of green tea leaves) in 500mls of boiled water (preferably filtered water). Cool and strain into a bottle and chill in the refridgerator. A recycled Y-Yo 50ml cologne bottle is perfect for this. The green tea mix will keep in the refridgerator for about a week. Spritz when temperatures soar.

You can also soak cotton pads in the green tea mix. Squeeze out the excess, lie down somewhere peaceful and press the pads gently on to closed eye lids. Very refreshing!
