be very AFRAID.

Do-it-yourself

I've been exploring and doing weird experiments recommended from the internet people. I thought I would like to share since I'm so bored =/

Green Tea Toner
So, I've created a green tea toner which is really easy to make.
First, you find a cup and put your green tea teabag/powder in it. Then you pour boiling water inside the the cup like how you make your usual green tea. Wait for it until it has cooled down before transferring it into a spray container/small waterbottle and put it inside the refrigerator. But do take note that green tea spoils easily so change it once every 3-4 days but I find one week is okay too :O

So after you cleanse your face, pat the green tea toner on your face and tada! You have smaller pores now. It works for me but I don't know if it will works for anyone. I have oily skin by the way =/

Watermelon Exfoliant
This is also very simple. In fact everything is simple. One day my mum was cutting watermelon and she was cutting the fruit off the skin. So there's this white part and being crazy, I used it to scrub on my skin. Initially I thought I would just put it on my face but it was way too slippery so I used it as a scrub instead.

The effect for me is that there is instant radiance and it's refreshing. It serves as an exfoliant too, I guess, since the surface is a little rough.

Honey Mask
If you have oily skin, maybe you can consider trying this. I read from the internet that you can make a mask out of it. Out of curiosity, I've just tried it today. First, scoop a teaspoon of honey and start applying it on your face for 10-15 minutes and wash it off with cold water! It's not recommended for sensitive skin. Apply it once to twice a week. You can supposedly add oat and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in it since oat acts as an exfoliant and olive oil has antibacterial properties.

I don't know the effect yet. It claims that it will make your skin less oily and has healing purposes. Let's see how true it is since I've just rinsed it off but so far my acne has become less red :O

All 3 recipes are sourced from the internet, not me so don't blame me if there are any reaction to your skin O_O

That's all folks! I have no clue how true are those but if you really have nothing to do at home, maybe you can risk and try it yourself. :D
