♥ DIY homemake green tea mask, toner and facial scrub ♥

yes, they are easy to make, sharing most of the ingredients.safe to try and nice to use and mainly for acne/blemish skin.

ingredients that are needed: apple cider vinegar, green tea (can be obtained from real green tea leaves or green tea packet but not the ready-to-drink canned green tea), white sugar/salt, honey, olive oil, two empty glass bottles

making the green tea mask

1. add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into the bowl
2. add 2 teaspoons of green tea
(you can use the green tea packet to prepare the green tea, must sure it is lukewarm)
3. add 3 teaspoons of white sugar
4. stir the mixture to blend it completely
5. add 1 teaspoon of honey
6. add 2 more teaspoons of white sugar.
7. stir the mixture carefully again and it is ready to be use (leave it for about 10 minutes on the face and wash it off with cold water)

-you can keep up to 2 weeks within the glass bottle in the fridge
(use sugar if you have a dry skin, but replace it with salt if you have oily skin)

making the green tea toner

1. prepare an empty glass bottle
2. add in apple cider vinegar of about 1/3 of the bottle
(use lesser portion if you have sensitive skin)
3. add in green tea (prepared earlier for the mask) into the bottle for the remaining 2/3
4. add in 1 teaspoon of olive oil (you can substitute it with tea tree oil)
5. shake the mixture and it is ready to be use

-you can keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge
-use it at night as it smells bad, however I find it smells like SK-II (I used to call that smell as horse urine)

making the green tea facial scrub

1. add in 3 teaspoons of white sugar
2. add in 1 teaspoon of green tea
3. add in another ingredient of your choice (could be honey, Johnson's baby oil, olive oil,etc)
4. stir the mixture and leave it for about 2 minutes and it is ready to be use

- it has about 1 week of shelf life but personally, I would recommend use it once.

tried it,like it and love it ♥

cheers!

会慢慢变得成熟起来

you will slowly start to get mature

一个人单身久了

更重视亲情

and cherish your relationship with your family members

一个人单身久了

对所有的节日大多没什么期待

you don't really bother much about those special days of the year

一个人单身久了

seeing others who are in a sweet relationship with their lover

心里多少还是会有些介意

虽然有一点点无聊和寂寞

although you will face some emptiness and loneliness

但是游走在自己的街道上

but walking on your own street

什么都可以无所谓

everything is no longer a matter to you

没有任何束缚

and there is nothing to control you

即使很多人都在疑惑

often many people will question

"你为什么没有告别一个人的时光?"

'why don't you kiss the single life goodbye?'

因为……

because.......

一个人单身久了

when you are single for too long

会上瘾的

you will get addicted


*chinese version is not written by me*

cheers to those who are still single!

the acne breakouts @ relationship breakups theory


breaking up with your partner is almost similar to having a sudden acne attack
the night before, you wouldn't sense any changes on your face, or any changes in your relationship
guess what?
the next day,early in the morning after u woke up,look into the mirror and GASPED! what the hell! acne!!??

the same goes to the relationship. the night before he/she said 'i love u so much' and the next day 'i don't love you anymore'...pathetic? some people told me,this is called LIFE. what a life.

so what's next? the pimple on your face is so painful. the itchy fingers of yours, wanting to squeeze it all the time,but you can't. simply because it is so painful and your subconscious mind knows, the more u squeeze,the more painful it is and it might spread out to the other parts after it breaks.

so what's next? having the thought of the reality that he/she is leaving your world, the helpless mind of yours wanting him/her back so badly. but i heard some people said before too, the more you wanna to patch back,the more he/she wanna leave you. deep in you,you know,your act will drives him/her further n further away and end up having no contacts.

so,you are stuck in this helpless state.the acne on your face.the broken relationship you have.you cannot do a single thing to help it or prevent it from happening. you are just stuck.

everyone said time will wash everything away.time will heal the pain. both the breakouts n the breakups.

ya,i know too.time.time is all you need. after some time,the acne pain will recover and your broken heart will recover too.

leaving scars behind. what is the difference? huge difference. the scar on the face is not as deadly as the scar in the heart. sometimes the scars fade. sometimes the scars retain,but for most people,the scars retained to remind you,it is there...it still exists.

alright,scars really a living proof that a wound has recovered? not really, i should say.it might look fine on the surface, but underneath the scars, well, you might find it rotten flesh.

this is another comparison of love with something else.i hope i don't compare love with something gross,again,in the future.

cheers!
