29th January, 2008: Different Uses for Tea
Tea has proven to have many healthful benefits associated with drinking it, but there are also many benefits that people don’t typically think about. Not only can various kinds of tea be used to help the occasional aches and pains, but it can also be used for some types of beauty treatments. For example, you can use cold teabags as a cold compress to be used on sunburn or even minor cuts and scrapes. You can reduce the itchiness of Mosquito bites and bee stings by placing a wet tea bag over the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also use some varieties of tea as a facial toner or even an eye compress for tired eyes.
Tea can also be used for various things around the home as well as some craft ideas. You can use tea bags to dye lace or other pieces of fabric so that you can give it that aged and antique look.
For more ways that tea can be used, take a look at the following websites:

I use facial products that have green tea in them..they are awesome! Especially the eye cream. It really does help reduce puffiness and soothe the skin.
