Lemon and green tea face mask

April 4, 2022 Written by GP Team

Green tea is a powerhouse for your skin, it as loaded with anti-aging and anti-oxidant benefits. Lemon is a natural bleach and it helps to fade away post-pimple and acne scars from the face right from the first use. In this article, I have listed down the most effective face pack recipes that use either of the ingredients to rejuvenate your skin from within. Consuming 2 tablespoons of brewed green tea (cooled) every day naturally protects the skin from the damage caused by the UV rays of the skin. Filled with multivitamins and minerals for skin nourishment. It also helps to fight the early signs of aging. Lemon juice contains vitamin C, and that boosts collagen production while citric acid tightens pores and brightens overall skin. It is full of potassium for hydration, and it also contains lutein which strengthens natural antioxidants, fights premature aging and enhances UV defense.
