Tea for eye care: Apply cooled tea bags to eyes to prevent puffy, swollen eyes.

Use green tea to condition hair: Use tea as a hair conditioner: For soft, silky hair, brew some green tea, then add some lemon juice. After shampooing hair, rinse hair with the green tea mixture, do not rinse out, use as an leave-in conditioner.

Black tea for foot odor: Use tea to prevent or get rid of foot odor: Soak feet in brewed black tea. The black tea contains tannic acid, that acts as to kill odor causing bacteria.

Green tea to prevent acne: Drink 2-4 cups of green tea to help prevent acne. Use the tea bags directly on skin acne.

Tea to help sunburns: Tea contains antioxidants that help reduce swelling from sunburn. Apply cooled tea to help heal sunburn. Mint and pepperment teas are especially helpful for sunburns. (If a sunburn is blistered or open, never apply cream, oils or lotions, which can increase the risk of infection). Make a tea bath by placing 4-5 green tea or jasmine tea bags under the running bath faucet.

The benefits of adding tea to your beauty regimen are numerous. Tea is an excellent, natural and safe ingredient to add to your beauty care regiment for quick and inexpensive results.

    Good tips. I drink a lot of green tea, but I also get greasy facial skin. I find that wiping my face down with a teabag, after I have finished making a mug of tea, really helps to clean my skin. The teabag acts as a mild abrasive, and the warm green tea really does help to clean the skin.
