They’re good for more than just a cuppa.
Making an afternoon cuppa?
Step away from the garbage bin! I repeat, step away!
We are often hasty to toss the tea bag as soon as its fulfilled our drinking needs.
However, that little bag is loaded with amazing ingredients that will give your beauty regime a kick up the proverbial.
With a number of antioxidants, your skin and hair is about to look and feel tea-riffic!
Many nutrition experts will urge you to swap your afternoon java or diet soft drink for a cup of antioxidant-rich tea. But they’re not the only ones touting the drink’s benefits. Turns out, adding a little tea to your beauty routine can give your skin and hair a boost, too. If you choose to add a scone or two to the mix, well, we certainly won’t judge.
Facial spritzer.
No need to shell out for expensive water mists when you need a skin refresher. Just steep green tea leaves in room temp water for a couple hours, strain, grab a spray bottle and fill it up with your concoction. Spritz away whenever you could use a little antioxidant-infused pick-me-up.
Tooth treatment.
A 2009 study conducted at Kyushu University in Japan and published in the Journal of Periodontology found that people who sip green tea regularly have healthier gums and teeth than those who don't. In addition to drinking down a daily cup, mix tea leaves and baking soda into a paste when you’re running low on tooth paste and brush away. Or, brew a tea bag in one cup of water, let it cool and swish it around as a DIY mouthwash.
