We all know that green tea is the healthiest beverage.
It is high in antioxidants and nutrients that can improve various functions of
your body including: brain function, fat loss, lower risk of cancer, and many
others. It is interesting to know that sipping green tea is not the only
benefit you have; you can utilize the used tea bags to enhance your beauty as well.
The green tea bags can be used for various purposes and
in various ways, you will find the following points useful:
For puffy
eyes: Cool the used bags for some time and then put them over
your eyes. Green tea contains polyphenol particles known as tannins. Tannins
are an astringent and are able to shrink skin; making them appear fresh and
tones. The cool tea bags will reduce the swelling and tighten the skin around
your eyes.
For
sunburn treatment: Studies have shown that green tea helps in protecting
the skin from sunburn and skin cancer, when applied directly. Place the
cooled tea bags on affected area to get relief.
As face
scrub: Green tea is full of potent antioxidants; it slows down
the process of skin aging by neutralizing the free radicals. Also, it tightens
skin. Tear the bag and take out the green tea leaf. Keep the leaf in a small
bowl, add granulated sugar and water. Scrub it on your face for an incredible
glow.
As
hair mask: Put 4-5 used tea bags in boiling water and let it boil
for 20 minutes. Leave it overnight. The next morning strain the tea bag from
water. Pour the water now on dampen hair and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse
it off.
Relief
from acne: Green tea flushes out toxins from the skin, helps heal acne
and blemishes. It contains catechins - anti-bacterial agents that suppress
acne-causing bacteria. Take out the green tea from the bag and grind it with
honey and baking soda to make a paste. Apply on face and wait for 10 minutes
before rinsing.
For facial
steaming: Boil the water with some tea bags and pour it in a bowl.
Hold your face over steaming water and cover your head with a towel so that it
creates a sort of tent. Steaming opens
your pores so you can cleanse away impurities from skin. Green tea steam will
detoxify, hydrate, and refresh the skin.
