NEW YORK, Aug 22 — Tea has countless health benefits, but did you know that it can also be an essential — even indispensable — beauty ally? In the form of powder, oil, or even simple teabags, it’s now a key ingredient in many home cosmetics. Consume without moderation!
‘Do it yourself’ beauty has been on the rise month after month, driven by successive confinements that have pushed people around the world to refocus on the essentials and natural products they may already have in their cupboards. As a result, certain ingredients previously little known for their skin benefits are now being recognised as beauty allies. This is the case of tea, which has many virtues for all skin types, especially for combination to oily skin.
Not content with being the ideal ally for combination, oily and mature skin, green tea also has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin and make it less reactive.While there are powdered teas and tea oils, it is also possible to use basic tea bags to meet your skin’s needs. After their normal use, they can be put in the refrigerator and then applied to the eyes to fight dark circles and puffiness.
