Here's how you can take care of your skin. (Source: Getty Images/Thinkstock)We love to apply makeup and other skincare products, but it is equally important to give the skin some rest by keeping it makeup-free. This is because excessive use of products can lead to skin breakouts which, when combined with air pollution and other environmental issues, can make matters worse. If you have been experiencing skin issues lately, here’s a simple DIY remedy that can come to your rescue.
Dermatologist Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta suggested an effective remedy using green tea that acts as a restorative mask for your skin and also exfoliates it.
“The skin is our largest organ, and while it helps protect us from harmful chemicals, it also absorbs what we smear onto it. With this green tea-powered restorative mask, you can’t get much simpler or purer,” she mentioned.
