9 natural skincare tips using the power of tea

Spending a fortune on creams, serums, scrubs and more to try to achieve glowy skin? You might find that all you actually need is in your kitchen.

Tea is probably one of the most underrated skincare miracle workers, and it won’t break your budget either! We’ve got nine ways to call on different types of tea to give your skin the boost it needs: 

  1. Soak: Steep two tea bags in a bathtub and soak up the benefits.
  2. Scrub: Remove toxins, reduce age spots, pigmentation and fine lines by mixing the contents of a green or oolong tea bag with coconut, olive or jojoba oil, then apply and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
  3. Mask: For velvety skin, mix matcha, cinnamon, honey and boiled water. Apply gently, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
  4. Chill: Apply chilled black tea bags directly to your eyes to allow the caffeine to reduce puffiness. For tired eyes, use chamomile tea bags and rooibos for fine lines. Avoid using warm teabags, as this can worsen swelling.
  5. Tone: Splash brewed, cooled and refrigerated tea onto your face for a quick pick-me-up. 
  6. Exfoliate: Kombucha tea, fermented and rich in probiotics, is antibacterial, exfoliates and brightens the skin.
  7. Blemish buster: Lemongrass tea is antibacterial and prevents blemishes. Steep, cool and apply regularly with a cotton ball or as a toning mist.
  8. Acne away: Use cooled peppermint or spearmint tea for hormonal acne.
  9. Moisturise: Try Calendula tea extracts to condition your skin.
