Tea is full of the goodness of nature. It is not only the drink without which we can’t kickstart our day, but is also as useful for our skin and hair. Used tea bags, especially, are very convenient to use. 

The abundance of anti-oxidants in tea help to repair cell damage. Here are a few ways of re-using tea bags, for a fresh-looking you.

Toner:

Tea is an astringent. It helps to close pores in the skin. Wipe your face with a used, cooled tea bag and feel the freshness.

For puffy eyes:

Place a used tea bag on each eye for 15 minutes. The astringency of tea will come to your aid again.

For dark circles under your eyes:

Place the tea bags as above. The tannin in tea, with their anti-bacterial properties, help to cure the darkness.

As hair rinse: 

After shampooing, rinse your hair in tea. You will get a subtle shade of brown. On black hair, it will not show.

As hair colour:

If you regularly rinse your hair with tea, you will get a tea-brown tinge on your hair.

For mehendi:

For a stronger colour, tea liquor is often mixed with mehendi.

To remove warts:

Hold a tea bag to a wart for 15 minutes, for a few days. The wart should shrink. The tannin is said to shrink the warts.
