I love green tea! And do you know that green tea is very beneficial to skin and body?

• Green tea contains potent antioxidant, vitamin C and essential mineral.  So it's a good news for our skin!
• It also can reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases,  dental cavities, kidney stones, and cancer, while improving bone density and cognitive function.
• Green tea consumption is associated with reducing bad (LDL) cholesterol by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the gut. 
• Ingestion of green tea extract can not only increase fat oxidation during moderately intensive exercise but also improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in healthy young men.--double benefits!
• Some studies showed that short-term consumption of commercial green tea reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure , fasting total cholesterol, body fat and body weight.  -- Great drink for losing some weight!
• Apparently, it also can reduce risk for breast cancer!-- don't you just love green tea?

Now, don't you want a cup of green tea?  You can even do some DIY mask with green tea.

All you need is:

• 2 tablespoon of green tea leaves (crush it to finer form) or you can use 2 tea bags (take out the green tea, throw the bags! XD)-- in fact you can use green tea powder for this. It's up to you!
• 2 table spoon of honey
• 1 table spoon of rice flour -- rice flour can brighten your face!
• a little bit of water -- just to dilute the paste a bit so you can easily apply it on your face

Then, as usual, mix together.Voila, green tea mask! Apply on your face. Leave it for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it.
