Hello tea experts,
I plan to create natural tea face mask by myself. What kind of tea leaf blending I should utilize for oily skin (fore head), delicate skin (around eyes), and normal skin (cheecks)? I googled it, it recommends green tea. Any other suggestions.
Is there tea leafs that produces collagen for delicate skins? reduce wrinkle lines? reduce pores?
Thank for any suggestions!

Tea and Collagen
Thank you for your reply and info.
I read an article stating Green Barley Tea produces collagen for skin. Is this correct?
I thought it is interesting!

You certainly wouldn't use black tea, because its not as rich in antioxidants as green or white. Green and white tea are most often used in cosmetics, but I highly doubt they can produce collagen. Both teas have antibacterial qualities and they can speed up cell regeneration - thats in liquid form. I don't know how tea properties translate when used in other forms, such as masks and creams
... but a lot the info you get with cosmetics are marketing tricks

basically just mix some tea with flour (rice or bread) and other additives (fruit, vitamins) until it forms a paste then apply it to your face. Wait 15 mins. and rinse.
