How do I make my skin clearer, less oily Im 17 do tea bags work?

Let me just tell you now I have no intent in buying any creams or whatnot (unless it aloha vitamin e i have that at home) Im look to find out some ';natural'; non-artificial ways to make my skin more clear and flawless.





My first thought was to use green tea bags will it work?





(You know when i say natural i mean anything from nature is there a certain food, drink, vegetable..)How do I make my skin clearer, less oily Im 17 do tea bags work?
I used to have oily T-zone now I have great skin and my tricks are:





Dr. Brommers Magic Soap


18-in-1 Hemp Peppermint


its organic


Its 10 dollars for a bottle, but it lasts MONTHS





Then I used St. Ives collegen lotion








To reduce redness or spot-treat I:





dab toothepaste


dab honey

For dark circles:

For your oily skin yes green tea will work but here are some more recipes.





1/2 cup apple cider vinegar mixed with 1/2 cup water used as a toner.





Also brush cornstarch onto face before applying makeup. The cornstarch absorbs excess oil. ( You can do this even if you don't wear makeup.)





You can also try this:





Peppermint tea %26amp; Green tea used as a toner or skin spritzer throughout the day if needed to get rid of excess oil Refrigerate.





Witch hazel is also great and you can even keep a little bottle in your purse with some cotton balls to get rid of oil. (with hazel breaks down oil throughout the day.)





To make your skin clearer try these. These are the recipes I use for my skin:





Honey Cleanser





1/2 cup honey


1/2 cup glycerin


1 tbs. castile soap


10 drops favorite essential oil (I use lavender or tea tree.)





I use the above recipes (apple cider vinegar, green tea %26amp; witch hazel as toner.)








Papaya mask/exfoliant





Cut papaya in 1 inch chunks. Blend/mash 2 or 3 chunks and store the wrest in the freezer. Apply the blended/mashed papaya and leave on face for 10-20 min. Use 2 or 3x a week.


The papaya may tingle but that just means that the papaya is working and it is breaking down dead skin cells to give that lovely glow and since it breaks down the dead skin it clears out the pores and in turn they shrink!!! (You may not see the results you want until you use it for a while.)





Egg white mask





1 egg white


1 tsp. cornstarch


Beat ingredients. Apple to face, let dry 10-15 min. Rinse.


(Tightens pores. Makes you look like you got a mini face lift!!)





Baking soda microdermbrasion/exfoliant recipe





Make a paste with baking soda and water, then gently rub on face and rinse.





Sea salt glow (my favorite!)





Make a paste using olive oil, fresh lemon juice or water to moisten the sea salt. Apply to face and gently rub skin, rinse.





(olive oil is good for dry or normal skin, lemon juice is better for oily or acne prone skin and water can be used for whichever.)


Clay Facial mask





Choose the right clay for your skin type. (French-oily-acne, bentonite-normal, cosmetic or white-any, kaolinite pink-normal-combo, kaolinite white-dry-mature, kaolinite red-sensitive. Add plain water or floral waters or try wetting agents such as fruit purees . Make a thick paste of the clay. Apply the mask to your skin and let it dry for 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry. Repeat weekly. ( I use french clay)

Hope this helps!!!
well, if you dont want to buy anything, just wash it often with soap and water, 3+times a day, and moisturizer after every time, and drink lots of water, and avoid foods like chocolate, and potato ships, the vitamin E will also help with any acne scarring you might already have.


ive never heard of green tea bags working on acne, but you never know, goji berries are supposed to be great for getting rid of acne, but ive never tried them. also tea tree oil is supposed to be great, but again ,never tried it.
