Green tea and salicylic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use green tea after salicylic acid, because green tea calms skin and protects it after exfoliating. Salicylic acid clears out pores while green tea soothes the skin and fights daily damage. If your skin feels sensitive, use a gentler product or wait longer between applying them.
