So recently I have started following the blog Tea and Me and they posted on other things you can do with your tea/teabags after you have made tea. There are some interesting suggestions that I plan to try out.
But after reading the post, it reminded me of something I’ve done with tea before.
I remember…
Now I have horrible skin. I think I’ve said before. It is dry and oily-making it so hard to try to figure out what skin care/products to use.
Besides that I have very sensitive skin. It is so sensitive I don’t even know half the things I am allergic to. Sometimes I am just going about my life and my skin gets irritated, hives break out, and next thing you know I’m scratching and breaking the skin.
Ugh!!
The worst is when my skin gets abnormally dry, typically when the seasons change. My skin becomes so dry it hurts. Lotion doesn’t help-it seems to just make it worse and more painful.
Ouch!
Somewhere online I read to use green tea to soothe irritated skin. I tried it and loved it! It made my skin feel great as it was so cooling and excellent.
And I feel happy when my skin feels good!
Here is what you do:
- Boil water.
- Prepare a cup of Green tea.
- Let the tea cool.
- Once the tea has cooled, dip a washcloth in the cooled tea and lay on the affected area.
- Repeat as much as needed.
It was amazing. I have never had anything so calming and soothing! I highly recommend it for any with dry or irritated skin. (Especially those who may have a significant other who’s unshaved skin upsets your skin).
And I promise to try out Tea and Me’s tea care suggestions and let you know what I think of them afterward.
