Ok, ok, we PROMISE we will do the Homemade Sunscreen that we mentioned. But we have been distracted by the heat. Lots of heat. Triple digit heat. Suffocating heat. Did we mention the heat? So when we saw this tempting recipe for a cooling Green Tea Face Mist, we simply couldn't resist. And it is probably the simplest DIY beauty recipe you will find out there! Win-win!
What You Need:
- 1-2 green tea bags
- 1-2 cups cold water
- ice (optional)
- spray bottle
Pour your cold water into your spray bottle, add your tea bag, and let it steep for an hour or two. Add ice if you want! Then spray yourself silly!
Not only will you feel cool and refreshed, but the antioxidants in the tea will do your skin a world of good as well! And don't limit this to your face. We brought ours to the beach and sprayed our arms and legs as well! A perfect and simple new beach essential for us!





Certainly like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless I will definitely come back again.

Your comment is "rife" with run-on sentences, and a serious lack of punctuation. If you’re going to be the Spelling/Grammar Police, then maybe you should go back to the academy…
DeleteWow, that was a bit harsh. Maybe you should learn to take constructive criticism graciously before you write another blog. As a new member to this, I cannot guarantee that I will be returning due to your rude behavior. Next time, instead of condemning people who are only trying to help you, I suggest that you say "thank you" or nothing at all.
DeleteHi Maddie, we weren't sure if you were directing your comment at us at Homemade Mamas, or at the readers who left the previous comments. We are always open to helpful comments and suggestions. Thanks
DeleteWhat a wonderful discovery! How often do you reapply?
ReplyDeleteHello via Pinterest! I absolutely love this. I have used rose water for the last few years but have been looking for a refreshing spray that I can make at home. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDelete@Deepsharma: Shall we discuss your lack of punctuation?
ReplyDeleteFantastic, I was thinking the same thing! LOL!
Delete@Reva....Good one! I noticed the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's very important to note that when antioxidants are exposed to sunlight they degrade.
ReplyDeleteSo this spray would be useless at the beach.
@Alexandra, Keeping it a cooler or cooler bag would be fine.
ReplyDeleteFreeze a couple of inches in bottle w/out top on & then add the rest to spray bottle before you leave.
ReplyDeleteEverybody should calm down re: spelling & grammar. We all get the jist of what one another is trying to say. Stop being mean girls! ; 0) LIFE IS TOO SHORT! A lot of us are posting from our tiny little touch screens!
