Wipe your face with black tea. Facial tea: composition, benefits for skin, best beauty recipes

Black tea is a real treasure for women who want to look beautiful, young and well-groomed. This affordable and inexpensive product can quickly restore youth; it smooths out wrinkles, eliminates pigmentation, swelling and other unpleasant phenomena. But many did not even realize that there is a unique product at home that can quickly cope with the signs of withering and aging.

Tea leaves can be used to prepare various anti-aging and healing masks. But you still need to know the most effective means that will help you quickly restore your beauty.

Facial skin care at home

If you could not avoid this, and you are faced with similar difficulties, do not rush to despair - there are several proven and very effective ways to improve the condition of your skin using cosmetic procedures. Of course, you can use the services of beauty salons, but you can resort to traditional methods and take care of your skin yourself.

“For the beauty of your skin, it is recommended to wipe your face with iced tea cubes every morning. "

One of the most effective natural skin care products is tea. It contains a large amount of antioxidants and tannins, has an anti-inflammatory effect, smoothes and tones the skin, protects it from exposure to sunlight and saturates it with essential vitamins. This is why tea is so often used in cosmetology as one of the main components.

The benefits of different varieties

From a huge number of varieties, you will need to choose a specific one that you will use for your facial skin. Each of them has special cosmetic properties. This is explained by the fact that as a result of various production processing, some useful substances are lost, others are much less than in fresh raw materials.

  • Green

Not only cosmetologists, but also dermatologists consider green tea one of the best therapeutic and cosmetic products for the face. And all because it does not undergo fermentation, retaining a maximum of useful substances in its leaves. Therefore, most brands prefer to use this extract in their cosmetics.

At home, it is also better to use this variety for facial skin care. It has pronounced tonic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties. Works great on acne and blackheads. As an antioxidant, it stops the aging process and prevents the appearance of new wrinkles.

  • White

It is completely in vain that many people forget to use white tea as a cosmetic product. This variety undergoes minimal fermentation. After green, it ranks second in terms of the content of nutrients. It has truly healing properties: it prevents skin cancer (confirmed by many laboratory studies), has an anti-inflammatory effect, eliminating pimples and acne. Even ordinary lotions made from it have a very beneficial effect on subcutaneous blood circulation. As a result, a healthy blush appears and disappears.

  • Black

Despite the fact that black tea is most often used in home cosmetology, it contains much less bioactive substances that affect the condition of the skin than white or green varieties. It undergoes fermentation, during which its beneficial properties are lost. And yet it tones well and has a rejuvenating effect on the skin. But most importantly, it improves the complexion and is able to give it a light tan, thereby veiling age spots. Therefore, it is actively used to eliminate.

  • Hibiscus

Hibiscus is not a tea in the truest sense of the word (it is made from the Sudanese rose, not the tea bush), but many people love this drink for its unusual sweet and sour taste. It is also actively used in lotions and masks. And for good reason: it reduces inflammatory reactions and promotes high-quality cleansing of the face. The citric acid it contains is an excellent bleacher for age spots.

  • Blue

Recently, to eliminate rashes and treat various skin diseases, it is increasingly recommended to wipe the face with blue tea. Here you need to understand what we are talking about, because blue tea is represented by two completely different drinks.

Firstly, this is a Chinese medium-fermented oolong (oolong). It tones and has anti-inflammatory properties. But it is rarely used. And when brewed it will be a faint turquoise, barely noticeable shade.

Secondly, this is a Thai drink that is made from the clitoris trichaitis. It has an incredibly bright blue color. Since it contains almost the entire range of B vitamins, it is recommended to be used for the treatment of weeping eczema, erosions and ulcers on the face, severe irritation, etc.

  • Blooming Sally

Ivan tea deserves special attention, as it makes excellent anti-inflammatory and cleansing masks. Recommended for those with problem skin, acne and blackheads. Its benefits for facial skin are explained by the fact that it is not subjected to industrial processing.

On a note.

There are about 1,500 varieties of tea, but they are all classified into only 6 main types: green, black, white, yellow, red (oolong), post-fermented (puer). And any of them (but with varying degrees of effectiveness) can be used to care for facial skin.

Black tea lotion

To maintain youthful and beautiful skin, regularly use black tea-based lotion, which is quite simple to prepare. Brew strong tea and mix it with lemon juice in equal proportions. This lotion should be stored in the refrigerator and used daily. If you have sensitive skin, instead of lemon juice, you need to add mineral water and a little sugar to the lotion. For oily skin, ordinary tea leaves without any additives are often used. Just wipe your face with strong tea, thoroughly soaking a cotton swab with it.

Tea compresses

Compresses with black tea have long proven their effectiveness in the fight against swelling. If, when you wake up in the morning, you find unattractive bags under your eyes, black tea will quickly deal with them. Used tea bags are great for this. After you have brewed tea, do not rush to throw them away. Cool the bags slightly and place them on your eyelids and under the eyes. If you don't have tea bags, simply brew tea, soak cotton pads in the tea leaves and place them on your eyes for 10 minutes.

Regular use of tea compresses will help you not only cope with swelling, but also get rid of spider veins under the eyes, which causes discomfort to many women. And for preventive purposes, it is recommended to wipe your face with iced tea cubes every morning.

I’ll tell you a recipe for youth and freshness lotion for every skin type! DON'T DRINK - SO LET'S GO GET OTHER BENEFIT OUT OF IT! A beautiful princess on the package and a disgusting taste and smell inside...

Tips for face, body, hair and much more)

Background:

This tea began to appear in my house periodically because it was cheap, but only my parents drink it because we can’t. There's no way we can.

I won’t say that this is just tea, although it is ordinary tea with logs inside.. but its taste is somehow disgusting, as well as its aroma. I don’t know what I don’t like more - the taste or the aroma... I have never encountered this rotten taste in any other tea (and for a year this taste has been in every package of this tea, so I won’t say that I came across an expired one) box, etc.) I admit that I haven’t tried other teas of this brand, maybe they are better than this one, which I really hope for. Damn, I’d rather drink some Java than this crap. No, seriously!

Now let’s figure out where this tea can be used, besides spoiling your mood with its taste (I’ll give you the pros and cons of using it):

  • SELF-TANNING

+

I myself am a little dark-skinned, and black tea helps me maintain an even darker and healthier skin tone both in winter and summer.
To do this, wipe your face twice a day with a cotton pad soaked in tea, or simply wash your face with strong tea leaves.
Leave the tea to dry on your face and neck and within a few days you will notice that you have become a little darker, I promise!

Don’t let the tea splash on the white enamel of the sink, it’s difficult to wipe it off later if you don’t wipe it off right away, and don’t wipe it with a towel for the same reason - but you can blot your face with a disposable napkin.

  • SAFE TANING PRODUCT

​+
The peoples living by the sea taught me that before going to the beach they spray and wash themselves with steep black tea, which greatly protects against sunburn.
I’ve been around for probably 15 years now, and I love making beach tea spray from steep tea leaves with a couple drops of jasmine and almond oil. BUT for the oil to dissolve in the liquid, first lightly dilute it in a teaspoon along with a drop of honey or alcohol (this will be your emulsifier-solvent), and then add it to tea or wherever you want.

  • LOTION FOR OILY, PROBLEM AS WELL AS DRY AND SENSITIVE SKIN:

+
The same washing with tea or rubbing the face with a tea bag has a very beneficial effect
on sensitive skin
- it removes irritation and redness from the skin, mattifies, deodorizes and makes the skin velvety - which is necessary especially in summer for both oily and sensitive skin.
+
And even for me,
with my dry skin,
it’s very nice to wash my face with tea in the summer and my skin stays fresh longer.
But in order to make my already dry skin less matte, I add a few drops of peach kernel or almond oil to this homemade lotion, or even better, on a cotton pad moistened with tea leaves. +
Also, tea lotion
dries out pimples and any rashes
not only on the face, but also on the whole body, because the tannins contained in tea leaves have a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.
You can also add drops of any favorite oils, both basic and essential; as well as decoctions of other medicinal herbs.

It may dry out dry skin a little if you don’t add a drop of any oil. And don't forget the emulsifier!

  • REFRESHING, TONING, AND ALSO TONIZING AND YOUTHING ICE CUBES OF TEA FOR THE FACE:

+
What could be better in the summer heat than washing your face and neck with tea ice cubes?)
For me and my mother, there is nothing better than cubes with tea leaves and mint leaves in the summer;)

+

Ice cubes tone the skin, strengthen tissues, tighten and firm the skin, and also smooth out light wrinkles!

+
Of course, I like to add tea tree oil and mint leaves and rose and chamomile flowers, even black currant leaves and sometimes berries of various plants to the tea leaves for ice cubes. The effect is amazing!

Nails and light-colored clothes are a little stained if the cube starts to leak. Be careful with this.

I will describe in more detail how I make beauty ice creams, with beautiful photographs, soon in a self-care review.

  • BREWING FOR REMOVING REDESS FROM THE EYES AND Puffiness UNDER THE EYES:

+
Yes, yes, we also inherited this method from mothers and their grandmothers :) This is the same way to wash your eyes with tea, for any redness and inflammation, even conjunctivitis -
TEA WORKS!
..and even that disgusting
Princess Kandy
will work the same way.

Do not apply tea to your eyes at night - an unpleasant film may appear on your eyelashes in the morning.

  • BLACK TEA TO STRENGTHEN HAIR and TINTING LIGHT HAIR TO A MORE CHESTNUT COLOR:

+ To strengthen hair and prevent hair loss, this disgusting Kandy tea also helps us. A strong infusion of tea should be rubbed into the scalp for two weeks - this will strengthen the hair and stimulate its growth! Tested for myself. Sit with the tea on your head a little longer and go wash your hair.

+ With this black tea you can

normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
Take a glass of strongly brewed tea, mix it with a glass of oak bark decoction and rinse your hair with all this.
I didn’t do this to myself because I’m lazy, but the girls I know used this method to prolong their hair’s fresher appearance for a long time and their hair now becomes less oily. — This method is suitable for dark hair, since light hair can turn brown thanks to black tea and oak bark decoction. And so that they do turn into a chestnut tone, wrap the hair soaked with tea leaves and oak decoction in plastic and sit longer.

  • HOW TO IMPROVE THE GOOD TASTE OF THIS KANDY TEA?

The bad thing is that there is little that can remove this putrid taste from this particular tea from Princess Kandy. Neither mint, much less lemon balm or chamomile, or even cinnamon and ginger, are capable of this.

+
Only
food flavorings
in cones are capable of this, and I also added
a little vanillin powder
.
It saved him! The taste and smell have become more attractive. Acne causes discomfort, pain, and leads to complexes and stress.
Cosmetologists have developed many effective ways to get rid of acne. Among them are hardware methods, medicines and folk remedies. Indian scientists who have conducted numerous studies have proven that green tea is an effective remedy for getting rid of acne. To maintain beauty, women in Japan and China have been using it for several millennia.

Unknown properties of familiar tea

What are the benefits of tea for the human body? Let's look at its chemical composition, which contains more than a hundred substances. Depending on the type of drink, from a third to a half of these components dissolve in water.

  • Tannins. There are up to 30% of them in good tea. It is to them that the drink owes its tart taste. There are about 30 of them, but the most important of them is tannin. This substance disinfects wounds, stops bleeding, and has a bactericidal effect. For small household wounds, cuts, damage to the epidermis after acne removal, a cotton swab dipped in green tea can easily replace the green tea without burning the epidermis;
  • Polyphenols. These substances are natural antioxidants. It’s not for nothing that a cup of green tea comes in handy in case of poisoning (including alcohol poisoning), viral diseases. Due to their natural origin, such antioxidants have no side effects;
  • Amino acids, trace elements and vitamins. There are about twenty amino acids in tea, and among the vitamins it contains group B, ascorbic acid, P and PP, K. Mineral substances in the drink are only up to ten percent, including iron, potassium and calcium, manganese, iodine, phosphorus and others;
  • Caffeine (in tea - theine). In elite varieties, the content of this substance reaches five percent, but in green drinks it is much less, and there are also completely caffeine-free types. At the same time, theine is softer than its coffee counterpart and does not accumulate in the body;
  • Essential oil. There is not much of it in the drink, only a fraction of a percent, so it does not have any significant effect on the body. But thanks to him, each type of tea exudes its own unique aroma, which lifts the mood and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
  • In addition, tea contains pigments, organic acids, pectins, proteins and carbohydrates.

It is important to understand that we are talking about high-quality brewed tea and bagged surrogate has nothing to do with this category. It is better not to consume sachets whose contents look like dust or contain added fruits, berries and herbs declared by the manufacturer. It is not clear what dyes and harmful substances are activated in boiling water.

Green tea for acne

Leading cosmetic companies produce lotions, tonics, and masks based on green tea, which do an excellent job of cleansing the skin, unevenness, acne, and have a rejuvenating effect. According to studies, green tea has superior properties to the well-known acne drug, benzoyl peroxide. Compared to this drug, tea has a gentler effect on the skin, without injuring or drying it out.

The tea drink eliminates the risk of an allergic reaction and side effects. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, tea perfectly relieves inflammation, cleanses the skin, tones, and eliminates redness. Drinking tea will help in the natural elimination of toxins, maintaining proper metabolic process. Due to its high tannin content, tea will help in the most difficult cases.
