Feel like you’re battling the aging process and losing? This humble green tea toner gives it the one-two punch. High in polyphenols, natural compounds that aid in the elimination of free radicals, green tea—combined with mineral-rich spring water--is refreshing and oh-so-good for your skin. Apply in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizing. Reapply throughout the day as a pick-me-up.
