TEA BAG BATH!

Have you ever heard of taking a bath in tea?! Apparently after researching online some great soaks a great bath you can take is in tea! There are  herbal tea blend ingredients that are excellent for use on hair and skin!


Green Tea,is excellent for toning and tightening skin due to its high caffeine content. The tannins in green tea are anti-oxidant in nature and help heal and tone skin..
Chamomile, a favorite among those wishing for peace and relation... has many therapeutic uses; when used strongly in the bath the flower helps sooth and soften skin. .
Citrus, the ingredient that lends an exotic taste and scent to tea blends, is also excellent for beauty care. Citrus contains vitamin C and citric acid which can tone and tighten skin. It is also excellent for removing oil and helping clear up acne. Beware: Lemon juice is even more effective at lightening hair than chamomile. Avoid if if you do not want lighter hair.
Peppermint, when used sparingly, makes an excellent bath additive. Its invigorating scent will help you feel more alert, the herbs volatile oil will also give tired skin a life and leave it feeling refreshed and tingly. Peppermint is also anti-fungal in nature making it well suited for foot soaks. Take care not to use too much mint because too much can irritate your skin.

To use a tea bag bath choose roughly 4-6 tea bags. Brew the tea in one quart of very warm, but NOT boiling, water. Allow the tea to steep for ten minutes.  add the infusion to your bath water mixing the water until the tea appears to have fully blended in. That's it! Now you're ready to enjoy an inexpensive, fragrant and relaxing herbal bath.
