Did you just host a tea party and have more than fifty tea bags that need to be disposed of? Before dumping them all in the trash, wait for a second and read up on all the following ways how your possible trash can help your skin look better and younger. Here are all the beauty uses of used tea bags:
1. If you have been lying on the beach and have experienced terrible sunburn, do not start making pastes that someone suggested. Keep it simple and place a tea bag on the burn. Not only does it treat the sunburn, it does so immediately. The tea bags can be used to treat several other problems such as insect bites and unexpected rashes.
2. Do you have puffy eyes? Do they bother you when you are getting dressed for a night out? There’s no need to worry anymore; place the used warm tea bags on your eyes for fifteen to twenty minutes. The puffiness subsides immediately and makes your eyes look brighter and fresher.
3. Similarly, cold tea bags can be used to minimize dark circles. Dark circles are often due to lack of sleep. If you have to go out and need a quick remedy, used tea bags are the way to go.
4. Does your job require you to wear socks and closed shoes all day long? Does that make your feet sore; more so, does that make your feet smelly? Take your shoes and socks off and soak them in a bowl with water and used tea bags. Experience comfort as the soreness goes away just as the smell reduces. This is a brilliant way to relax and smell great. It’s hitting two birds with one stone.
5. Who says you need to purchase fancy and expensive toners for your skin? Take a used tea bag, wake for it to cool, and use it as a toner. Not only is this cheaper but you will also observe the difference immediately.
6. What hardly anyone knows is that placing used tea bags in water and using that water to rinse your hair can actually lighten your hair’s natural color. Why put chemicals in your scalp when you get the desired effect for something herbal and cheaper? So the next time you are about to get rid of a lot of tea bags, think of all the ways they can make you feel nicer and fresher.
