Home remedies
1. Green tea-water and honey-face pack
What you need
1 cup of green tea water (cooled)
2 tablespoons of rice flour
½ spoon of honey
What you have to do
Mix the above ingredients and apply the paste to your skin. Let it work for about 20 minutes or longer, or until the mask is completely dry.
Before you wash the mask with water, you must massage in circular motions. This is important because it removes the dead skin cells and smoothes the skin tone.
Wash your face with cold water. This gives you a fairer and more even complexion.
When you have to do this
In the morning, before you bathe.

Why this works
The antioxidants in green tea will wash away the free radicals and toxins from your skin (1). Adding honey helps protect your face against bacteria. It also improves the texture of the skin and keeps it hydrated (2). Rice flour serves as an excellent scrub.

Why this works
