Green Tea Skin Care
The Princess and the Tea

Kari is particularly fond of green tea recipes for her skin.  Especially since she can indulge herself with a natural anti-aging skin care treatment while relaxing and enjoying a healthful cup of tea at the same time.

New studies are released nearly every day that expound upon the virtues of green tea.

Green tea is gaining in popularity as a common ingredient found in natural skin care recipes.

Kari loves this simple yet rich soothing skin peel recipe jammed packed with nutrients. She treats herself to a facial treatment least once a week.

The Princess and the Tea

• Boil a small pot of water with
  several green tea bags.
• Let steep until tea becomes cool.
• Carefully squeeze out every last drop of the tea bags into the pot. 
• Whisk one egg white with the juice of half a lemon, a packet of plain gelatin and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until frothy.
• Slowly add 1/4 cup of the green tea while whisking briskly.
• Apply a thin layer to the facial skin and let set for 20 minutes.
• Rinse completely with warm water. (The remaining mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for several days.)

Did you know that preliminary studies indicate that the topical application of green tea helps to repair sun damage, prevent premature skin aging, and enhance skin tone while stimulating new cell growth?

Green Tea is great for you inside and out. Bottoms up!
