THE WONDERS OF TEA IN MY BEAUTY REGIMEN

I am a big fan of tea. I use teabags more than loose leaf tea because I find them equally effective and more practical to use.
Lemme present a roundabout about the benefits I get from tea.

My tea stash. Top, Lipton Quality Black Teabags from Australia. Left, Green Tea I bought locally. Right, Yamamotoyama Genmai-cha Green Tea with Toasted Brown Rice from Australia. Below, A brand of Chinese green tea.

1. When I need to stay up, I drink my green tea.
2. When I need relaxation and light feeling after a tiring day, a cup of black tea is the key!
3. I enjoy younger and more beautiful skin with my everyday tea bath. I sometimes bathe in green tea bathwater but my favorite would be the black tea bathwater and sometimes I use an infusion of both. I believe that black tea bathwater maintains the fairness of my skin and green tea leaves an additional natural sun protection on my skin. I use a zinc oxide base SPF product to work with it. So far, so good.
4. When I get occasional pimples, I just wash my face with green tea water and leave it to dry. The following day, my zits appear less inflamed and near to healing.
5. It's one of my anti-wrinkle weapon. It protects my skin, my teeth and my gums.
6. I have a good overall feeling after I drink tea. Less bloating, yey!

After this vacation, I will start making a pore minimizing toner using green tea. I will infuse a strong brew of loose leaf green tea this time together with my black tea and probably a brown rice tea, which I will buy the next time I shop. I will put the infusion in an ice box and freeze it. (the rest in a distilled glass bottle) I could use it after I wash my face. This is more effective I believe because it is natural. I don't want to put a lot of chemically-laden products on my facial skin so i will be using this one.

Here's a picture of my boiling black tea bathwater.
