Green Tea

Perhaps one of the most popular teas on the planet, green tea is full of vitamins and antioxidants. This tea is not only useful for regulating your bowel movements and for losing weight, but it can also work as an anti-inflammatory.

Green tea helps the skin fight the oxygen free radicals, that are present within your body. These radicals are scientifically proven to be one of the main elements that contribute to aging and liver spots. The recommended intake of this tea is two cups a day but if you are accustomed to the taste, you can drink more.

You can also use this tea in cold or warm compresses for your skin. It soothes conditions like redness and some minor types of skin allergies. Green tea can also be useful for sunburns and uneven skin tone. The best way to apply a compress is to use a teabag after you have made a cup of tea and place it directly onto your skin, once it has cooled of course, or to use a teabag in a cotton compress.

Spearmint Tea

This type of tea is particularly useful for acne. Drinking it will also contribute to a healthier, hormone balance. You may also notice its benefits if you have naturally oily skin or skin that becomes oily due to excessive sweating.

The best way to benefit from this tea is to drink around one or two cups of strong spearmint tea per day. If you want to apply a compress, make sure that the strength of the tea used to soak the compress in, is not too strong. Otherwise, you may get a little redness, and this is the opposite of what you are trying to achieve.

Horsetail tea

It may not be your favorite choice of tea in terms of flavour, but horsetail tea has useful benefits if you have puffy skin as it balances the water distribution in your body. This tea will help you get rid of excess fluid and as a bonus, it can also boost the production of collagen.

You may find this tea to be less flavoursome than the other teas mentioned, but it will help you get rid of tired, puffy eyes in the morning. It can also help your skin keep its natural elasticity and keep you looking healthier, for longer.
