Most AMAZING homemade face mask/scrub and toner!

This homemade face mask and toner is so great for many reasons:

1. Great for acne
2. Helps fade dark spots mostly caused by acne
3. Its cheap because most of the ingredients should already be in your pantry.
4. And most importantly, it helps your face feel amazingly soft and clean.

What you need:
Sugar
Honey
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) ( Do NOT use regular vinegar, and preferably organic non-filtered, Like Bragg ACV)
Green tea bag (steep as though you would for regular drinking tea and then let cool)
Optional:
Tea Tree oil
Fresh lemon
Olive Oil

What you do:
MASK:
Mix together in a bowl 1 teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of green tea and 5 teaspoons of sugar.
Stir mixture and then add in 1 teaspoon of honey
Now mix in 2-3 more teaspoons of sugar or enough to give you a fairly thick consistency.
Move into a container you are able to seal and store in the fridge, this should keep for two weeks and be enough for about 4 masks using it twice a week.
To Use: Use a cotton ball or cotton pad to soak/gather and smear (Do not rub) enough of the mask to cover your face evenly. Now using circular motions gently massage your face for 2-5 minutes. Now let stand on your face for 5-10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

TONER:
Mix together in a small container you are able to seal and store in the fridge: 1/3 part Apple cider vinegar, 2/3 part Green Tea. (You always want the mixture with the mask and toner to be two parts green tea to one part apple cider vinegar) Store in your fridge and this will also keep for two weeks.
Optional add ins: 1 teaspoon Olive oil for extra moisture benefits, 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree oil / 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice for extra help with specifically treating acne and scars.
To use: After rinsing your face, apply toner with a cotton ball or pad. If you are paranoid about the smell only use at night. The smell doesn't bother me so I use this mix day and night and use the mask at least twice a week.

Enjoy guys!!!
