How To Brew Up Great Skin

Have you simply been tossing your tea bag into the garbage? You might save a few of them after reading the benefits that these little bags offer.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: N/A

Here's How:

1.   Use a black tea bag that has been dipped in warm water. Press to lips for 3 minutes. The tannic acid boosts the moisture level of the lips.

2.   Suffer from puffy eyes? Save the morning's teabags and keep them in the refrigerator until needed. Does a great job on the puffiness.

3.   Black tea is also great for feet that are rather... odorous. Soak feet and then pat dry.

4.   Small bits of the tea BAG to be to patch split fingernails. Place a tiny segment of the bag over the and then paint with clear polish.

5.   According to Indian ladies who have emailed me in the past, cold tea bags are often used to aid dark eye circles.

6.   Sipping a cup of chamomile tea before bed often relaxes those that have difficulty falling asleep. We all know what our skin looks like if we don't get enough.

7.   Cool chamomile tea bags feel wonderful when placed over the eyes while you wait for your facial mask to do its magic.

Tips:

  1. Did you know that tea can even tint stockings that are too pale? It's true.
  2. My neice has even darkened her blonde hair to a pretty caramel color by using tea bags.
