This is definitely not a myth: tea is good not just for your health, but also for your skin! We drink tea for stimulating the brain activity or just enjoy it as a refreshing drink, but it is also possible to use the tea as a beauty treatment thanks to its healing qualities…
Tea contains antioxidants that not only can help the body cells become healthier, but can also improve the skin and make it look younger and more dynamic by rejuvenating it.
Powdered tea leaves can be mixed with a facial cream to make it more effective. When applying cream on your face, use circular movements and rinse with plenty of water to help remove dry skin.
Using tea as beauty aid is increasingly popular especially when you consider green tea: in scrubs, for example, for its astringent properties. You can, in a few simple steps, use the tea as a beauty treatment without going to the beauty salon. Making a cup of strong tea and then rinsing your face with a cotton pad soaked in it will do the trick.

Rinse thoroughly when finished.
