Frequently asked questions about our green tea products

Acne breakouts can be caused by many factors that may feel abrupt but are often attributed to habits that a person has been taking part in for a long time like poor diet (highly processed food such as candy, cookies, chips, most boxed and canned food, refined sugar, dairy and excessive alcohol). Other factors include fluctuation in hormones, environmental factors, harsh skincare products, dirty sheets, phones and hair accessories, skin allergies, lack of a consistent skincare routine of products that work for your skin type and feeling stressed. Keeping hands out of face due to germs and washing makeup brushes. Another cause could be the use of color towels vs white ones because of the color dyes that may irritate the skin. I also use disposable towels because they are bacteria free vs our towels that aren’t completely clean even after washing them.

Dry skin could mean that your skin is dehydrated and is craving moisture and hydration. This means drinking and eating hydrating foods when possible and using room temperature water instead of hot water when washing the face. Hot water strips the skin of natural oil and causes excessive dryness and flakiness. Also, the skin may have too much dead skin on the outer layer which means regular exfoliation is missing from the skincare routine. Additionally, the need for skincare products that draw moisture to the skin is important. Using products that are cream or oil-based rather than water or gel-based is important.

Dark circles can be caused by genetics and sometimes cannot be treated if that is the source. Other times they may come from stress, lack of sleep, being dehydrated and even spending too much time on computer and phone screens. Also, allergies and when we age, the skin becomes thinner and blood vessels are easier to see.

Eye swelling can be reduced by getting adequate rest. Sleep deprivation can significantly impact swelling under the eyes. Decreasing consumption of sodium and alcohol because they also cause swelling. Using a cold compress like cucumbers or even ice packs (covered with a cloth or paper towel or frozen tea bags. Green Tea bags contain caffeine and tannins that are great for reducing puffiness. Facial massages help to increase blood circulation and drains the lymph system which holds built up fluid. Using facial rollers or gua sha tools aid in lymphatic drainage as well. Our Green Tea Eye Masks work well because they are refrigerated and they contain green tea extract which reduces puffiness and redness and dark circles.

One of the best things that can be done for hyperpigmentation around the face and mouth is maintaining a consistent skincare routine for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Being sure to use products that are specifically formulated for the treatment of healthy skin and treating hyperpigmentation is key. Our Ultimate Earthie Kit is the regimen that provides that. Also, use products like targeted serums that specifically treat hyperpigmentation. Our Green Tea Dark Spot Corrector contains ingredients that have proven to significantly reduce hyperpigmentation. Exfoliation is one of the most important ways to target hyperpigmentation. You need to remove the build up of dead skin on a regular basis in order for to work hyperpigmentation products to work effectively. It can be done with physical exfoliants like our Orange Tea Scrub or using chemical exfoliants that include acids like kojic or azelaic. Always consult a professional when incorporating any acids into a skincare routine. Other professional treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments, dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are recommended as well. Sunscreen should be worn every single day to combat hyperpigmentation around the face and mouth. Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation to appear darker or create hyperpigmentation with repeated exposure. Even when it’s cloudy outside, sunscreen should be applied to protect the skin from UV rays.

Yes, the skin tone can be evened out using a consistent skincare routine of products that are gentle on the skin but also effective. The routine should consist of a cleanser, toner, serums, exfoliant, moisturizer and sunscreen. You can always include a mask to hydrate or detox the skin.

Most products should be used twice a day to see the best results. Our Ultimate Earthie Kit includes all of these skincare products with the exception of the Charcoal Mask with Matcha Green Tea.

First, a person needs to determine their skin type in order to find a natural moisturizer that encourages healthy, hydrated skin. The first step is to cleanse the skin and apply no other products. After about 15 minutes, analyze the skin to see how it looks and feels. If the skin is dry, tight or flaky, try heavier natural moisturizers that are oil-based.

Our moisturizer for dry skin contains coconut oil and shea butter which absorbs nicely into the skin.

If the skin has oil all over and looks/feels greasy, try lightweight moisturizers that are gel-based. Our moisturizer for oily skin contains aloe-vera and does not clog pores but keeps it soft and hydrated.

Clogged pores means that the pores are filled or congested with dirt, oil, debris, gunk, makeup, dead skin and bacteria that eventually creates acne and scars if not cleansed properly. Our Charcoal Mask, Orange Tea Scrub and Green Tea Facial Soap all help to keep pores squeaky clean.

Clogged pores appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts.

It’s recommended to search for products that contain natural ingredients if attempting treatment without a professional. Harsh chemicals and/or acids can be harmful to the skin if used improperly or on sensitive skin.

Our Green Tea Dark Spot Corrector is a specialty serum that only contains natural oils and extracts specifically formulated to gently treat dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Some skin conditions are worse than others and so some may take longer to see results than others. The rule of thumb is to give the products at least 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use to determine effectiveness. Some individuals may experience purging as the skin has to detox impurities first before results can be seen. Most customers report their skin feeling better after the very first use. Overall, results vary by person.
