DIY Green tea detox water!

I've been watching people use green tea as a scrub for their face a while on youtube and Bubz is the one that got me thinking... I LOVE to drink green tea and seriously miss it! (Can't consume it when you're pregnant or nursing.) It was a great way to add a natural spring to my step and help me feel healthy as it's a wonderful antioxidant. 




Here's the idea I came up with:

Use green tea as a scrub but also use the tea made from the teabag so you don't waste it!
(You need to soak the leaves to activate the goodness inside)

You're still benefitting, just in a different way :)



A. Turn your faucet on hot and let the tea steep for 5 min.. 
You have now created a nice detox water to aid in cleansing your face.
(Can you see my burnt out bulb in the reflection of the water? haha)

B. Use this to dampen your face and then pump out your cleanser mixing with it in your hands or a bowl with the tea leaves from your teabag. Scrub, gently in circular motions for a min or so. (I used my Cleanse And Tone from Michael Todd. My new favorite!)

C. Rinse face and pat dry or move onto a mask if desired

The end result looked pretty gross but it felt SO good :)
My skin was so clean and crisp, I will be dong this again!


** If you're planning on a mask make sure you use clean water for rinsing. 

I hope you enjoy this quick skin gem like I did!
Such a fast way to have a green tea detox using your water you cleanse with at night.
I wouldn't use the scrub more than 2-3 times within a week. Or save it for your once a week mini facial treatment like me.

  1. Did you use this to take off makeup? I have been using the oil cleansing method to take off my makeup for a while. This looks like something I could do in the morning before moisturizing.

  2. Hello Jessica!

    No, I used coconut oil followed but a cleansing wipe for extra measure then this cleansing method. This would be a good morning detox cleanse indeed!

    Thank you for the question. <3

  3. I'm sorry can you explain step B again? You mix the contents of the tea bag with your facial cleanser and scrub your face?

  4. I very much like the way you have provided some extremely useful information about the "Green Tea Detox". Thanks for sharing some extremely useful and effective information. By the way let me share my personal experience regarding a product which I recently came across in course of my weight loss journey. The product named "The Red Tea Detox" is said to be extremely beneficial in reducing weight and many people have claimed to have reduced 14 pounds in 14 days. it’s a detox diet that uses a special tea recipe to help accelerate fat loss. That’s really amazing isn’t it?
