Making cosmetic ice

1. When preparing ice, it is important to remember that the brew must be very strong and rich; it will become the basis for any recipe. Pour two teaspoons of tea into half a glass of hot water and let it brew.
2. If your skin is prone to oily skin, then chamomile will be an excellent addition to green tea. You need to add 4 tablespoons of dry chamomile to two tablespoons of tea and pour a glass of hot water. Before pouring the broth into molds, it must be cooled and strained.
3. To enhance the cleansing properties of green tea, you can add honey. Honey improves skin firmness and elasticity.
Advice! It is important to dissolve honey in warm tea leaves, since in hot water it loses its properties (one teaspoon is enough).
4. If you are concerned about age spots, uneven tanning and uneven facial features, then lemon juice will be an excellent addition to green tea. Fruit acids perfectly cleanse and nourish the skin. To prepare, add 3-4 tablespoons to the cooled tea leaves.

Additional recommendations

1. To make the massage comfortable and convenient, use a scarf or napkin folded several times.
2. The massage should be done slowly, working on each area on the face.
3. It is important not to linger in one area; the ice should be in constant motion.
4. The duration of the massage should not exceed 2–5 minutes.
5. When wiping the area around the eyes, move from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner.
6. It is best to do such procedures in the morning and evening, after cleansing the skin.
7. To get lasting results, do this massage at least 3-4 times a week.
