We all love a cup of tea….we are a nation of ‘tea lovers’.
Recently ‘Hello’ magazine had an article about how we can incorporate tea into our beauty regime!
I thought it would be nice to share with you lovely ladies some of the benefits so next time when you’re in the salon you can try one of our lovey Tea Pigs herbal tea and start feeling the benefits!
SKIN
Tea is an easy and effective natural beauty remedy that can be used to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin.
Green tea is high in antioxidants and has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which means it acts as a great cleanser.
Chamomile tea is known for its calming properties, which means it can also help to reduce redness, treat acne and soothe tired eyes.
DIGESTION & WEIGHT LOSS
Peppermint and green tea can help to aid digestion and boost the metabolism.
One of the latest tea trends is Green Matcha tea, a traditional Japanese ground tea that is ground into a fine tea powder. Matcha is a great energy booster which also lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Matcha tea also helps to eliminate toxins and is therefore great for glowing skin.
SLEEP EASY
Lavender or Valerian root are both considered natural sleeping pills. Brew these natural remedies and add to your bath for a relaxing experience before bedtime.
FOR HEALTHY HAIR
Brunettes can rinse their hair with black tea to add shine and a silky look, while Rooiboos (Redbush) tea can be used for adding colour to brunettes and giving a light reddish colour to blondes.
Rose bud infusions are rich in vitamin C and also help in the production of collagen which is vital for healthy skin and hair.
Here at the Beauty boutique we have a selection of herbal teas for days when you are feeling bloated…stressed…grumpy or just need a pick me up. Ask us for our Tea Pigs menu when you next visit us and start feeling the benefits from tea!
You learn something new every day….
