"Green Tea will tighten pores, provide anti-aging benefits and is ideal for soothing troubled or sunburned skin. This comes from the Herb Companion Website and is added for the Comfort Cafe. This infusion should be refrigerated if not used within 3 days. Adendum: After reading up on camomile tea, I've added it to the infusion."

I applied this to a really bad burn that refused to heal and it is now healed, took about a week but very gentle to apply and I felt it did me good!! Thanks for posting, will try on my excema next flare up. Made for holiday tag.

I have chronic acne and am looking for a miracle treatment -- I've used a green tea toner for the past week or so and opted to try this one too. Both seemed to make the redness on my face first worse and then better, and my skin does seem to feel a bit less oily too. So far, so good!

I have been using the green tea teabags that come with chinese takeout, instead of loose green tea - makes this pretty much a freebie!

I didn't use this on my face but I did on my hands. They get very chapped and sore between cleaning, dishes and being outside LOL It didn't heal them but was very soothing when many lotions seem to irriate them. Thanks for a great cheap "recipe" Made for Everyday is a Holiday
