A simple black tea mask can be made by steeping black tea and applying the cooled liquid to your face.
Ingredients and Equipment:
- 1 teaspoon black tea leaves
- Boiling water
- Small glass or bowl
- Soft cloth or cotton pads
- Lukewarm water
- Moisturizer (optional)
Instructions:
- Steep the Tea: Pour one teaspoon of black tea leaves into a small glass or bowl. Add boiling water and let it steep for fifteen minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds in the tea to infuse into the water.
- Cool and Apply: Allow the tea to cool completely before applying it to your face. Using a soft cloth or cotton pads, gently apply the cooled black tea to your skin.
- Treatment Time: Leave the tea on your face for twenty minutes. This allows the skin to absorb the tea's properties.
- Rinse and Moisturize: Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with your favorite moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
