5 Beauty Dilemmas Solved With A Tea Bag

DILEMMA: Puffy eyes Solution: A tea bag will brighten and de-puff your eye area in no time. Just bring two bags of tea to boil, then wring them gently and allow to cool till warm. Leave the tea bags on for about 15 minutes – the tannic acid in tea helps de-puff and shrink any puffiness.

DILEMMA: Dull skin Solution: Give yourself a DIY tea steam. Just bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil and pour into a large bowl. Add two tea bags, place a towel over your face, then bend over the bowl. The steam from the tea will open up your pores and tone your skin!

DILEMMA: Broken nail Solution: Cut a small piece of a tea bag and place it over your broken nail, adhering it with nail glue. The tea bag will bond your nail together – just file off any edges and seal with a topcoat for polish-ready digits!

DILEMMA: Razor burn Solution: Went a little crazy with your razor? No worries – the tannic acid in tea will soothe and heal the rash. Just steep the tea bag and apply to the inflamed area for several minutes. Bye, burn! (This works for sunburns too :)

DILEMMA: Foot odor Solution: Keep your feet smelling fresh by soaking them in a tea bath for twenty minutes. Black tea is supposed to be the best at getting rid of odors; the astringency in tea closes up the pores that create any not-so-sweet odors and the tannins kill stinky bacteria.
