Teas whether it is red, green or black have been known to improve the skin and hair for centuries. They are rich in antioxidants, the most important being Vitamins C and E, Carotenoids and Flavonoid. That’s why they score high in anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties. Try out the glorious tea and see how your skin and hair glow with sheen and shine.
Dry Hair:
Rinse your hair using green or black tea. Put tea bags in boiling water for 15 minutes and allow it to cool for few hours. Now pour this concoction over just-washed hair and leave it on for a couple of minutes. Use shampoo and conditioner to lock the shine.
Dry Skin:
Spray cool green tea onto your face or use a cotton ball to apply it twice a day. This will help remove impurities and restore a healthy glow.
Sunburns:
Cold compresses made out of tea bags play a vital role in relieving pain and reducing redness that happens out of sunburns.
Puffy eyes and Under-eye circles:
The caffeine component in the tea helps to shrink blood vessels beneath the skin and therefore remove darkness around the eye area.
Smelly Feet:
Soak your feet in a cool solution made out of boiled tea. The tannic acid in tea is a great antibacterial and antifungal agent that stops the feet from sweating or smelling.
Razor Burns:
Should your legs feel to itch and go red after shaving, don’t fret. Get a cool black tea bag and press onto your limbs. Once again it is the tannins that will provide you immediate relief from razor burns.
Bug Bites:
Mosquitoes are nobody’s friend. Their bite can prove to be dangerous. To fight the mosquito sting, apply a used and cold chamomile tea bag directly to the affected area and relax.
