- Hey! This DIY deep moisturizing face cream is made with green tea so its full of antioxidants and is great for revitalizing your skin. I love this recipe because it is easy to make and it makes my skin feel so nourished. I apply it 1-2 hours before bed as a night moisturizer because this allows it to absorb without rubbing off on my pillows ♡
DIY green tea face moisturizer recipe:
- 1 Tbsp wax www.iherb.com/frontier-natural...
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp almond oil www.iherb.com/now-foods-soluti...
- 1/2 tsp vitamin e oil www.iherb.com/rexall-sundown-n...
- 1-2 tea bags organic green tea
- 5 drops essential oil - I used lavender for its nice smell and skin regenerating properties but you could use for instance eucalyptus, rosemary or tea tree oils for acne, or others for any other effects - a good chart is: www.naturesgift.com/aromather...
Melt the oils and wax. Pour in green tea sachet while oil is still on heat & leave for 10-15min before straining through cheese cloth. Then whip the strained liquid with an electric beater until it is room temperature and creamy. Store in a jar in a cool dry place, should last until finished because it primarily consists of oils.
I hope you enjoyed this video ♡

I love the way it turned out! My skin is so dry & products tend to leave my skin burning, flaky, and itchy. So I have to make my own!
Thanks so much for this great recipe! Love all of your creative submissions and their simplicity. My skin is prone to be oily so I actually thinned my mixture with aloe vera after it was mixed and then remixed. It works great and has a good shelf life. Kudos!
I love this! I've made this about 6 times and I will NEVER GO BACK to store bought moisturizers
I've tried this and it's amazing, like all your diys! It's really nice how you always try to give other options like vegan alternatives -even tho I'm not a vegan-. Lots of love Ela!
I made his face cream for my mom and she loved it. I like i too. I is very nice and I cannot tell you how much I thank you for this awesome recipe! Thanks!
This is fantastic!! Thanks for sharing, hun! xo
I really love the way you teach so quickly. Thank you . I’m gonna try it!! 😃❤️
I been using coconut oil for everything and love it! I'm so trying this diy thank you for sharing.
I also am a big fan of home made creams! I never tought of adding green tea to one it feels wonderfully moisturizing ! Thank you lovely!
I love this cream! I just made mine last night and woke up with soft yummy skin!!! I added something extra that I believe you would love as well...dried hibiscus flowers. Did you know that hibiscus flowers have a huge amount of polyphenols in them which is great for anti aging AND has more antioxidants then the green tea does! So I gave your recipe an extra kick and It is UHmazing:) Thank you!
do u mean u use habiscus instead of green tea or use them both at same time ? thanku
b.f m hi there! Yes I replace it completely with hibiscus, you could use both green tea and the hibiscus but I would make sure that the liquid is still equal amounts to what she uses in the video. I hope that makes sense.❤️
@@illumlife588 hi dear u r very nice and sweet by respoding to me like this i appreciate it thanku and be safe we need people like u
b.f m thank you❣️ I know how it is when you leave a comment and never hear back from the person who is doing the video. Sometimes it can be frustrating but I can understand why, people become busy with their lives. I like to help anyone I can who has questions.❤️ be safe as well! Emily
@@illumlife588 wow u r so nice and understanding lots of love to u and thanks my dear
OOOh I love your diy video's. Good way of explanation, no housemusic or other anoying hard sounds at the background, no boring voice but nice and friendly! You go girl ;-)
I MUST try this!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! :)
P01029 has made a good point about the Coconut oil and beeswax. Cocoa Butter and Coconut butter is 4 on the comedogenic scale of 1-5, I am assuming that coconut oil would have a similar output, you can substitute it with safflower or sunflower oils which are both 0 on the scale (also 0 on the irritant scale). Although you may need to increase your wax a little to compensate for using the softer oils. Substitute Carnuba wax (1 on the scale) for the beeswax (0-2 on the scale), you could also use Ceresin wax (0 on the scale), or even Lanolin wax (1 on the scale). It is my understanding that using the teabag should be ok because you are not mixing it with water you are mixing it with the warm oils. This would equate with making oil infusions which should be fine for at least 6 months. The teabags would only be problematic if you were to mix it with undistilled water (which may have contaminants in it). This recipe doesn't ask you to brew the teabags in water it asks you to mix the tealeaves with the oil and leave for 15 minutes, then you are required to filter it out of the mix. Vitamin E is actually a preservative as well as being a great addition to a moisturiser, so that should help to keep things fine. The five drops of lavender oil which the recipe calls for and of which you should only be using a very small proportion of each day shouldn't damage your skin in that small amount unless you have an allergy to it. Change it to another Essential Oil if you prefer. Please listen to all the advice people offer, it is a fabulous and generously offered starting point for you, then do your own research, get all the facts and then you can make your fully informed decision. Then make your cosmetics, personalise them to suit yourself and enjoy them!
Thank you :D these are good informations
Kim Vaughan I think coconut oil is a 2
First please use the comedogenic rating as guideline not a rule because the scientist use rabbit ear as subject so you can tell why the list flawed, i mean read the review from the internet, so many people use coconut oil on their skin with no problem, so try it yourself to see if the oil block your pore or not
And second vitamin e is anti oxidant not preservative
how do you know this?
Yeah and also coconut oil saved my dry skin
I love all your videos so much! I make lots of your products, they're all so helpful! thanks for all of your videos 😘
Your videos are so amazing and you always manage to come up with the best things, please keep making videos they are great!
Beautiful and I love your accent! I prefer natural products, and I love your videos. Just subbed!
i tried your recipe and is super super effective !!
thank you sooo much!
Love this - so simple - thanks!
Ella love all of your natural diy ideas!!!! Wondering if you can show us a diy natural makeup brush cleaner?
I have been searching for a good and soothing FACE moisturizer for weeks and I finally found one! I love this because it's so simple and will last for a good amount of time. If your still deciding on making this or not, I say go for it! It's seriously awesome and I'm so glad I found this channel and subscribed! If any of you were wondering, for my container, I used a cute micro Mason Jar. Also, if you were wondering where to get mesh cloth to strain the tea with, I would recommend any place that sells supplies to make soda, beer, etc. Anyway, thank you sooo much and I love your videos!!!👌😊
Hey Ela.
I Just subscribed to you today. I really love how you do your videos. They don't drag on for ages like other you tubers, you just get straight to the point. And your so full of wisdom and knowledge I love it! x I live in Auckland, will b telling my friends about you. :)
I don't usually subscribe to people after watching 1 of their videos, (unless I've seen alot of their videos or their work). But just from watching this video, I can tell how passionate & hard working you are. Very insightful & helpful material, more than the average. Thank You !☺☺😘 Xx ,
Great im defo going to make this tonight xx .... Thank you soo much xx keep diy videos coming.... I absolutely love all ur diys
I actually love watching your videos so much Ela!
I absolutely LOVE these recipes. So helpful and useful if you want to avoid harmful things for your skin and animal cruelty.
Thank you Ela! This is my favorite recipe for moisturizer...just love it! I just made it for the second time!!! TFS ur awesome!
Thank you so much for this video. I have made face creams before and this is definitely by far the best recipe I have come across. It's great on skin when going out in the cold in freezing cold Scotland lol. I will be making this as Christmas presents for my friends and family. Thanks again.
Hi Ela,
I love your videos❤️ I haven't tried anything yet, but I am planning to make the moisturiser. I love how organic and pro sahib planet and environment you are. You're definitely an inspiration to me.
Lots of love from UK. Xxx
Thank you for this. Lots of information that expands on what I already know.
from what i've seen in your videos it looks like you are great friend to have.. i mean you doing all things, everything is natural and when it goes to gifting it is always nice to receive things that was home made
I give my friends home made lip scrub in the winter. I think they all throw it away, because it is home made. Its the best lip scrub I have found , ever! Abnd ive tried,alot until.finding a fab recipe.
Amazing recipe, doll! :) xx
So glad I found your channel. You have such a lovely radiance about you. Thanks for sharing, I made your shampoo and my family loves it.
LOVE from New York xoxo
DIY makes my heart happy... and this is a great one!
Finally, a moisturizer recipe that is actually a creamey texture! Every single other moisturizer recipes either harden too much or are too liquidy.
I made it and replaced the almond oil with jojoba oil. It turned out great! It's kind of like thick blendable oil. But oils feel great and are amazing for your skin, so I have no problem with it. Thank you!
This is so good really quick to make as well!
This treatment has been one of the hugest blessings in my life
Naturally Mediterranean Really? How?
love ela gale. she's the only non-annoying diy youtube personality around.
another one i cant wait to try!! thank you for sharing!!!
Can't wait to try that, sounds very good!
I love all your ideas and recipes!!
I made something like this with coconut oil, orange peel, jasmine and green tea, and tea tree oil. I love it
I've never seen skin cream made so found this very interesting.
I have only made this for the 1st time today. I applied some to my face, and almost 5 mins later I checked my reflection. My face had literally transformed. I did not even think my face was dull until I put this on and my face illuminated. I have looked tired for more than a year, no matter how much sleep I have. This moisturiser has changed my life!
Made this as soon as I saw your video! I used soy wax instead of beeswax and tea tree oil instead of lavender essential oil. It turned out amazing! I tried a little on my hand and it made my skin feel so soft, however, I don't think I strained it very well because there are tiny flexes of green tea running through my moisturiser but thankfully they don't affect the final product. Thanks for sharing!
Where'd you get soy wax from?
This looks amazing! love your videos Ela :)
Love this so much, thank you Ela.
oh my goodness, i remember talking to you when you had less than 1000 subscribers. you've come so far, congrats :)
For a week or so to show us the improvement in all of you natural homemade makeup and stuff, you should only use it on one side of your body and show us how much it works!
woww that's really simple and easy DIY..loved it..!!
Wow! This is incredible! I will substitute some of the ingredients as I don't have them. I will use coconut oil, beeswax pellets, olive oil, green tea and 7 drops of peppermint oil as I love the mint smell and it's very refreshing + it's good for blackheads!
it is Beautiful , yes , it’s beautiful, and it’s beautiful. Thank you
Great diy, can't wait to try it!
This DIY looks amazing! Seriously love your videos Ela, they're always so informative, straight to the point and motivational for a healthier/natural life style. Thank you! :)
Yes straight to the point. Awesome.
No it's not, don't lie
I made this yesterday, it's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
+AmyMirandaMakeup It can't be worst than most products you find in stores.
I love your videos so, so much :D Thank you! They are incredibly helpful because finding reliable products that aren't tested on animals (which are also affordable) is quite tricky
Hey Ela!🙋 happy new year! Awesome vid defo going to try this out! Also I've noticed you always where a nude nail polish..its gorgeous! Which one is it?
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see a video of how to make a daily moisturizer safe for the face. This was a great video for night time.
This is like a anti redness cream it's perfect 😍😍
The production of this video is A1, well done
I 💛'd this! 😃🙏🏼 THANK U! Will let you know if I make it!!!
Thank you so much this is a very helpful video and I love ur channel thank u 🙆🙎
you are such us great inspiration for me!!! i really wanna say thank you and keep on doing!!! ICH LIEBE DEINE VIDEOS!!!
Hope you're backpacking is going phenomenally!
Thanks for this video. It looks awesome. I'm going to the store to pick up supplies to try it myself. Can't wait to have DIY face cream!
Question / Request:
You mentioned combination moisturizers for day time use. I'd love yone of your recipes for a day time moisturizer. Is this one just too heavy?
This was a game changer for me. Very comparable to the "Egyptian Magic face cream". Made some for my mom as well and she's requesting another jar!
Thanku so much Ela for the great moisturising cream...
I made this and it's amazing! The best recipe I have tried, the consistency comes out really good. I didn't have lavender essential oil so I substituted with Orange essential oil which I love! I use this on my skin at night and sometimes during the day instead of my regular moisturiser. My skin LOVES it. I also find that applying it on slightly damp skin helps to lock in the moisture. Thank youuuu!
Christina G avoid using orange or any citrus fruit essential oil during the day as it is photosensitive and it may damage your skin.
ohh thanks for that tip! I did hear something like that recently, that orange oil is like an AHA and probably not safe for frequent use or during the day without sun protection. I'll stick to using mine at night for now, then lavender it is for my next batch.
Christina G you're welcome! ^^
I also made one with grapefruit essential oil and I only use it at night.
I've been looking for this like foreverrrr . Thank u for the videoo 😍😍😍😍
I love your videos! The homemade ideas you have are wonderful. Can't wait to try this one out!
This, without the green tea, worked perfectly with my friend who has eczema. The beeswax was perfect for that.
Is green tea good to use on eczema?
More facial moisturizer videos please! iabosolutelyloveyourchannel!❤
I love your Chanel please keep doing it I'm really inspired by you
i love how you do diy s and other stuff
I'm happy that MOST people don't read what the naysayers blather on here and other videos I've seen. They just "think" they know everything. Ela Gale, you are doing great! Don't stop.
Thank you - I liked your tip on using bee's wax too. 🐝 💖
Love this video so so much!
💜 Apart from the coconut oil (I think terrible for the skin) this looks like a great recipe. I will make it and substitute the 🥥 for hemp seed oil.
So Clever , always have idea , nice !
Oooooh great moisturizer!! ❤️❤️
This is nice as a hand/foot cream. I feel it will make my face greasy.
this is amazing, so nourishing
Hi
can you please upload a video for night or morning cream for combination skin please thank you I have tried this its really nice and gives you nice glow it's just that it's too oily for my skin xx
omg, i love you! you are perfect♥
I personally tried plain yogurt on my face as a mask and I found that my skin was soft and smooth and very bright il just add green tea in the yogurt and use it before I go to school
Make sure you put it in the fridge and use it up quickly, since the yoghurt will go bad otherwise
Thank you so much, I do a similar cream but with avocado oil and geranium EO. To obtain easily the cream consistency just put it in the fridge and after 5 to 10 min (before it's too hard) mix it. Thank you for your wonderfull Channel ❤️💋👍💄
Great idea.. I have a very dry skin so this will prove helpful for me. ques... i don't have a hand blender of any sort, can't i just leave it as is...??
Nice video I love green tea I might try this sometime
hi! thank you for sharing, love your videos, i wonder if this cream is for nite time or day time?
You are so pretty!!!
Wow! that's great! thank you for sharing :)
I make some it came out great thank u for sharing!!!!!!😄
love this Ela xx
Excited about using! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Doing it right now works amazing 😋
Oh my goodness, I usually don't enjoy seeing pretty youtubers because it makes me feel really bad about myself, but you have this loving, nervous aura. Oh my god you're so cute, ah its killing me.
I love youu Elaa!!!! :*
I love this. Will def try out. Just not sure where to find beeswax
coconut oil loves my face but olive oil doesn't. my face loves aloe Vera But my hair doesn't. varies from person to person. make the recipe to fit your skin type. improvise
you can use ricin oil instead olive oil
Make toner rose hip tea tree oils
I agree coconut clogged my pores but olive oil doesn’t lol , maybe it’s that whole blood type thing .
Thank you ! This is true. Coconut oil helps my face a lot! It depends on your body! Before using products on your face, test them on your arm, or your hand!
thank you my darling I going to try that it's look so nice.
I have used coconut oil on my skin everyday for 2 years, and have no complaints. :)
