I've had this bottle of Vitamin E Oil for a while now. I've used it on and off but because it feels so heavy on my face I never got to religiously using it.
A couple of days back I took it out again. The thing is this - I'm off coffee. No coffee since four days. Not a diet, its a just - like - that thingy.
Its like this - I ran out of milk and coffee and haven't made the trip to the grocers yet. And since I cant have coffee anytime after early morning I don't get to it the rest of the day. Because I'm off coffee and I still need something hot in the morning, I started on green tea - Lipton Green Tea with Mandarin . This one is pretty good. I don't mind the taste at all.
From all the left over tea bags I collected, I decided to do the Green tea face mask. Except this time I added Vitamin E oil to the tea leaves. The tea leaves ended up being too big to stick to my face . So I squeezed the leaves to get all the juice outta them and patted it all over my face with the Vitamin E Oil. Kept this on for 30 minutes. Then I wet my hand with warm water and massaged my face for a bit . Next in the shower I let the hot water on my face and did not use any cleanser.
Once I was out, I could feel the joy that comes from a super soft face.
This can be done with any oil. My best friend uses Baby Oil. I wanna use up the Vitamin E Oil I had . Plus its known to be a good nutrient for the skin, right ? The Green Tea hopefully did its part and added the anti oxidants !
Moral Of The Story : Oil + Water = Soft Well Moisturized Skin
Oil on its own , on dry skin doesn't get absorbed well and feels heavy. But with a bit of warm water , it gets absorbed well, feels lighter and the results are blog worthy !
I will be visiting a Asian store this weekend. Anybody tried the powdered green tea ? I've heard it makes for a great face mask. Any ideas on what else I can pick up from there, beauty wise ? I know I need Oyster & Fish sauce.
Love,
Indian Girl

That sounds like an excellent at home facial. Especially with the winter weather your skin will be glowing and protected all month long.
i use to do this but im too lazy.LOL. nevertherless i love the way my face feels after i used this and it also helped with the acne too..
I usually apply coconut oil before my shower and take a nice hot water shower and let water do its job - the skin is really soft and moisturized that I usually don't need any additional moisturizer. Works well for a lazy bum like me :)
very good post and just what i needed!! I have this bottle of vitamin E capsules that I bought for dry skin and I popped one capsule, tried it on my face and it was so thick to rub it in that I gave up. I was just about to throw it out and now i am gonna give this a try...
A quick question...i read somewhere that vitamin E is somewhat comedogenic... any thoughts on it??
Cool + cheap idea! Yay! gonna try this right this second
xoxo
Good idea! Vitamin E can help to offset some of the damage associated with sun exposure as well as improve the appearance of aging skin and Green tea contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants which help fight damage caused by free radicals.So it would surely be great for your skin.Good luck.
Vitamin E is related to eye and skin, more people like to know about it and be aware from its deficiency.vitamin E working as a oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown of body tissues.
I love these easy home tips...much better than spending hours in a salon and coming with an empty purse.The E oil seems to be effective...green tea is really good.
hi!
i love this idea, i use a home made green tea with similar results.
question on vitamin e though--i got some from rite aid and i dont know if its the right stuff! it doesnt do the magical stuff i hear about, and its not even yellow...any way of telling if youre getting the right...concentration or something?
That's really awesome idea. It serves people the best solution for their skin protection. good job!
