Expert Answer

Absolutely! Green tea works great as a toner because of it's anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and moisturizing qualities. It also fights free radicals, boosts overall skin hydration, and contains several vitamins.

Bring 1 cup (236.6 mL) of water to a boil. Then, add 1 tsp (2 g) of green tea leaves or dip 1 green tea bag into the water. Let the tea brew and cool off before pouring it into a clean spray bottle. Keep your homemade toner refrigerated and use it for up to 7 days!

Question

Do I wash my face before or after using the toner?

Wash your face before using the toner. You don't have to wait for your face to dry before using the toner and moisturizer.

Question

Can I use lemons and baking soda for my face if I am 15 years old?

Community Answer

You shouldn't. Lemons are acidic, and can cause skin irritations and rashes. Baking soda should not be used because skin is slightly acidic, and baking soda can cause rashes and skin irritation.
