Okay, so I’ve been on this whole “natural skincare” kick lately, and I decided to try making my own green tea face moisturizer. I mean, green tea is good for you to drink, so why not put it on your face, right?

The Experiment Begins

First, I gathered my ingredients. I’m all about keeping it simple, so I just used:

• Green tea (obviously!)
• Some coconut oil (because it’s, like, the answer to everything)
• Aloe vera gel (for that soothing, cooling effect)

I brewed a really strong cup of green tea and let it cool down completely. You don’t wanna burn your face off, trust me. Once it was cool, I mixed in a spoonful of coconut oil. It was kinda solid, so I had to mash it up a bit to get it to blend.

Then, I added a squirt of aloe vera gel. I probably could have measured everything properly, but honestly, I just eyeballed it. Seemed about right.

Mixing and Hoping

I stirred everything together, and it looked…well, it looked like a weird, greenish, oily mess. But I was committed! I dabbed a little bit on my hand to test it out, and it felt pretty good. Not too greasy, surprisingly.

The Face Test

So, I took a deep breath and slathered it on my face. It felt cool and refreshing, and the green tea smell was actually kinda nice. I left it on for a while, just kinda chilling, hoping I wouldn’t break out in hives or something.

The Results

After about 20 minutes, I rinsed it off. And you know what? My skin felt pretty soft! It wasn’t a miracle cure or anything, but it definitely felt hydrated. I’ve been using it for a few days now, and so far, so good! No breakouts, no weird reactions, just soft, happy skin.

I’m not saying this is gonna replace your fancy store-bought moisturizer, but if you’re looking for something simple and natural, it’s definitely worth a try. Plus, you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen!
