Here's how green tea can add radiance to your skin, enhance charm

The health benefits of green tea are well-known. However, green tea isn't just beneficial for health; it can also be used as skincare material. The abundance of antioxidants in green tea protects your skin from sunlight. Furthermore, it helps reduce sun tanning and even prevents skin cancer to some extent. Let's look at how green tea can be used for enhancing the radiance of the skin.

Green tea scrub:
A scrub can be prepared by mixing ground almonds, green tea leaves, and yogurt. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps control acne. Another method involves grinding green tea leaves into a powder, adding a little cinnamon powder and lemon juice to make a paste. Apply this to dull skin areas, leave it for 20 minutes, and then wash off with plain water. This removes blackheads and brightens the complexion. Additionally, dip a tea bag in hot water and gently scrub your face with it until the tea bag cools down.

Retains youthfulness:
Green tea bags help reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. For this, used green tea bags can be chilled in the refrigerator and used as eye pads. Mix three teaspoons of yogurt and one teaspoon of ground green tea and apply it to the face for 20 minutes. Then wash off with cold water. This protects the skin from ageing.

A mixture of one tablespoon of ground green tea, one egg white, and one teaspoon of honey applied to the face for 30 minutes helps remove pimples and blemishes. Alternatively, apply a used green tea bag mixed with a little honey to your face. Wash off after 10 minutes for a radiant complexion.

Green tea for steaming:
Boil water and add a crushed tea bag to it. Steaming your face with this for 5 minutes helps reduce dark spots. Steaming with five teaspoons of green tea and some curry leaves is also good for the skin.

Shining hair and nails:
The vitamins E and C in green tea promote hair growth. After shampooing and conditioning, add three or four tea bags to half a liter of water and rinse your hair with this mixture. You can also add a little lemon juice to green tea in hot water. Soak a cotton ball in this mixture and apply it to your scalp. Wash off after twenty minutes. This helps in hair growth and adds shine to the hair strands. Soaking your nails in a cup of green tea enhances their shine.
