|
submitted by marie, walnut creek, CA United States
Tip description / details: I saw a show about women who lightened liver spots using green tea masks and moisturizers. I use a green tea moisturizer myself and it helps lighten dark spots on my face. Not dramatically, but there is some fading and it is cheap
.
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons of loose leaf green tea
; 1 cup of water
; 1 tablespoon of glycerin (found at any drugstore)
How to prepare: Brew the tea with hot water and let it seep for about 5 min. Pour the tea and glycerin into an old toner bottle and shake. Cool and keep it in the fridge
How to use: Pat the toner on your face about 2 times a day, more if you can. Keep the toner in your fridge to slow down the oxidation of the tea and it lasts about a week
.
Results (observed by submitter): Some fading of dark spots and lightening of the skin.
Costs involved:
