This is a more of a general beauty question, do you guys have lists of what products to use when and how? Like planning the most optimal routine?

Usually I avoid skincare hacks and homemade remedies, but this one had such nice effects on my skin that I wanted to share and see if anyone ever tried it.
Green tea ice cubes : just boil green tea for a few minutes and let it steep and cool down until you can put the extract in an ice cube tray. I would use loose tea leaves since tea bags often have harmful chemicals in them, and green tea because it's higher in antioxidants (matcha has even more if you can afford it). When needed, take one cube out and either directly rub it on your face or let it melt and use the cold tea on your face as a toner. Using ice cubes directly on the face can be irritating and drying, so I'd at least put a tissue around it and not overdo it. Let is sit/dry for at least 5 minutes, then clean your face and do your usual routine.
The immediate effects are a feeling of a tighter, more supple skin, depuffing, less visible pores. The cold feeling is also nice to wake yourself up in the morning.
What truly impressed me were the long term effects : after using this hack for two weeks, my skin looks so much brighter and less discolored, tighter and smoother. Most of all, I had a hormonal breakout just before that and it helped heal my acne much quicker.
The ice (helping blood circulation) and tea (antioxidants, minerals, antibacterial properties) combo just works well and now that I searched it up I realize that a lot of people have been swearing by that technique for a while, especially for treating acne/acne scars and dull skin.
