People suffering from skin rashes, acne, acne and other skin manifestations of a similar nature are so exhausted looking for a solution to their problem that they are ready to give any money for an effective remedy. But often it is enough just to look into the kitchen cabinet to find there something that, if it does not completely solve the problem, will alleviate the general condition of the skin. It's about tea.

This drink can be found in every home. Most often these are black and green varieties, and especially sophisticated ones acquire more expensive varieties: white, yellow, red, tied (dry buds of flowers blooming in a teapot).
Green and black teas are familiar to most, but all varieties are harvested from the same tea bush at different periods and processed in different ways. The green variety is softer, its color is pale, the taste is less intense, and the aroma is subtle, sometimes barely perceptible. Its black counterpart has a more intense color, tart taste, the aroma of such a drink is brighter. But it is the green look that is more useful for the body, although the black contains all the same trace elements, but in smaller quantities due to the method of processing. Red varieties are the most fragrant, therefore they are often mixed in small quantities in the elite collections of other varieties. But white tea is made from the youngest sprouts of the plant and is considered the drink of the elite. The peasants are skeptical about this name, calling it "heated water".

For dermatological problems, it is better to use green tea. It is not fermented and contains more active substances. If this type of tea is not at hand, then black will do, but its effect will be less pronounced.

Unknown properties of the familiar tea

How is tea useful for the human body? Let's understand its chemical composition, which contains more than a hundred substances. Depending on the type of drink, from one third to one half of these components dissolve in water.

• Tannins. They are in good tea up to 30%. 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 blood, and has a bactericidal effect. For small household wounds, cuts, damage to the epidermis after removing acne, a cotton swab dipped in a green tea infusion can easily replace the greenery without burning the epidermis;
• Polyphenols. These substances are natural antioxidants. It is not for nothing that in case of poisoning (including alcohol), viral diseases, a cup of green tea comes in handy. Due to their natural origin, these 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 (theine in tea). In elite varieties, the content of this substance reaches five percent, but in a green drink it is much less, and there are 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, because it does not have any significant effect on the body. But thanks to him, each type of tea exudes its own unique aroma, which cheers up 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 custard tea and the packaged surrogate has nothing to do with this category. It is generally better not to use bags, the contents of which look like dust or contain additives of fruits, berries and herbs declared by the manufacturer. It is not clear what dyes and harmful substances are activated in boiling water.

Effects of tea on the skin

The green variety is commonly used to treat dermatological problems. It has a higher content of useful components and its beneficial effect on the skin is more obvious. This drink is used to alleviate such conditions of the skin:

• Acne caused by liver malfunction. The skin, along with sweat, removes a certain amount of toxins, therefore, with serious intoxication, it sometimes becomes covered with acne. Due to the high concentration of antioxidants, tea can be drunk for general body cleansing and applied topically to help the skin remove toxins;
• Wounds, inflamed rashes, acne and other damage to the integrity of the epidermis. Tannins promote early healing. And the tannides contained in tea disinfect and destroy pyogenic bacteria. The more concentrated the broth, the better the antimicrobial effect is. Do not rush to pour out yesterday's tea. A two-three-day infusion only enhances its antibacterial qualities. But you can't drink yesterday's tea;
• Dry skin. The trace elements that make up the drink maintain the water-salt balance of the epidermis, which is especially important for dry skin or skin exposed to frostbite or active exposure to sunlight;
• Fading skin, first wrinkles. Green tea catalyzes metabolic processes by stimulating cellular metabolism and collagen production. As a result of regular external use of this product, the skin looks younger, superficial wrinkles disappear, traces of acne and superficial acne scars go away.

Green tea almost never causes allergies, except in cases of individual intolerance. Therefore, it can be used to relieve all dermatological problems, from cuts and burns to severe acne. The drink is suitable for nourishing all skin types, especially on dry skin.

Tea Based Acne Recipes

You can use the drink for rashes on the skin of the face in different ways. Lotions and compresses from a pure product, without additives, are especially convenient. But it is permissible to combine it with other herbs and add it to multicomponent masks. But don't expect magical results from tea compresses and rubs. This drink is good for the most part, as prevention of acne and a remedy for improving the general condition of the epidermis. It is permissible to use it as an aid in the main drug treatment.

Pure infusion of green tea against acne

After brewing the green drink firmly, let it brew. On the second day, its bactericidal properties will only increase. Blot a cotton pad or cotton towel in the infuser and apply to your skin as a compress. With a decoction, you can wipe the acne affected areas, wash your face, completely replacing it with pure water, or make cosmetic ice from it. Such procedures will disinfect the skin, destroy pathogenic bacteria, serving as a means of preventing the occurrence of acne, acne and other rashes.

Chamomile + mint + green tea against skin rashes

In the same way, it is permissible to use an herbal preparation to get rid of acne permanently. Take equal amounts of green tea, chamomile, and peppermint. It is enough to insist such a broth for an hour and start the procedures.

Lotion of black tea with lemon against wrinkles, scars and acne marks

But with scars, small wrinkles and scars after removing acne, black tea copes better. Adding lemon to it helps to brighten reddened or blue areas. Preparing the product is familiar to all housewives: we brew a strong black drink, add a few slices of lemon (you can grate it), insist. We store this lotion in the refrigerator for no longer than a week. Citruses are a strong allergen, therefore, if any skin reactions to the product obtained are detected, replace the lemon with mineral water or simply wipe the skin with pure black tea.

Mask for cleansing pores and nourishing problem skin

For weekly cleansing of the face and body from excess sebum that provokes the appearance of blackheads, you can use a delicious oatmeal mask with honey and black tea. Mix the components in arbitrary proportions, bringing to a comfortable consistency. If there is no allergy to honey, then such a remedy is completely harmless and can be in direct contact with the skin for half an hour. It is good to apply it after a steam bath and physical removal of blackheads.

Nourishing mask for all skin types with tea

Any tea that you are used to drinking is suitable for such a remedy. Put the egg yolk into a strong tea brew and add flour to the resulting cocktail to give a consistency that can hold itself on the skin without spreading. This mask is left on the face for 20 minutes to nourish and tone.

External remedies based on tea for acne and other skin manifestations have no contraindications and therefore are used for all skin types. Allergic reactions happen to individual components of multi-component masks and decoctions. All products are applied to clean skin.

How to drink and prepare tea properly

The masks and other acne remedies described above are applied topically. They have a clear but short-term effect. For a more lasting result and overall health improvement, it is better to take tea in the traditional way - to drink and enjoy this process.
The skin is a mirror of the internal state of the body, therefore all rashes on it are the result of general ill health. According to scientific studies, among people who regularly consume tea, the incidence of cancer is 30% lower. And those who are accustomed to drinking a cup of tea before starting the work process work more productively and get sick less often.
To raise tone and mood, strengthen immunity, speed up metabolic processes, restore water-salt balance and just enjoy the aroma, it is important to prepare and consume tea correctly.

• Yesterday's drink is good for beauty treatments. You can only drink today's tea;
• Do not use the product on an empty stomach;
• If after the next cup you feel an increased heartbeat or other changes in part of the cardiovascular system, then it is better to refuse the next one;
• Brew the collection no more than three to four times;
• The ready-to-drink beverage should be warm. Cold or hot won't do any good.

It is also important to mention the monastery tea against acne. Monastic teas are literally for all ailments: alcoholism, varicose veins, liver and heart diseases, to improve brain activity, digestion and sleep. This is a special collection that you can buy ready-made or prepare yourself at home. All prescription ingredients are easy to obtain from pharmacies and stores:

• Herbs: St. John's wort, oregano, elecampane;
• Fruits: rose hips, lemon;
• Base: black tea.

A decoction is prepared from herbs, to which honey and lemon are added for taste. Take the remedy for acne twice a day in a glass, do not tie it to food intake. The course of treatment is 4 weeks. To believe or not to believe the healing properties of the collection is an individual decision. Analyzing the composition, we can conclude that such a remedy is aimed at general cleansing of the body. Herbs have good bile and diuretic properties, improve digestion, increase sweating and strengthen the immune system. All these properties in the complex have a beneficial effect on the body, cleanse the liver and normalize the digestive tract, which has a positive effect on the quality of the skin.

Drinking tea is important for pleasure. This drink is not addictive, does not have a negative effect on organs and tissues. But as in taking any other product, you need to observe the measure and avoid drinking tea during periods of emotional excitement and stress.

Background:

In my house, this tea periodically began to appear due to its cheapness, but only parents drink it, because we cannot. We just can't. I will not say that this is just tea, although this is an ordinary tea with logs that come across inside .. but its taste is somehow disgusting, as well as the aroma. I don’t know what I don’t like more - the taste or aroma .. I haven’t seen this rotten taste in any other tea (moreover, for a year this taste is in every package of this tea, so I will not say that I have come across expired box, etc.).

- Do not let tea sprinkle on the white enamel of the sink, it is then difficult to wipe it off if you did not wipe it off immediately and do not wipe it off with a towel for the same reason - but you can get your face wet with a disposable napkin.

• SAFE BUNNING PRODUCT

​+ The peoples living by the sea taught me that before going to the beach they are sprayed and washed with a steep infusion of black tea, which is very protective against sunburn. I myself am probably 15 years old, I like to make a beach tea spray from a cool tea leaves with a couple of drops of jasmine and almond oil.

BUT so that the oil dissolves in the liquid, first dilute it slightly 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.

+ And even to me with my dry skin-it is very pleasant to wash your face with tea in summer and the skin stays fresh longer. But in order to make my already dry skin less matted, I add a few drops of peach seed oil or almond oil to this homemade lotion, and even better, on a cotton pad moistened with tea leaves.

+ Also tea lotiondries up pimples and any rashesnot only on the face, but 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 base and essential; as well as decoctions of other medicinal herbs.

- It can dry out dry skin a little, if you do not add a drop of any oil. And don't forget the emulsifier!

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

+ What could be better in the summer heat than washing your face and neck with ice tea cubes?)

For me and my mother, there is nothing better than cubes with tea leaves and mint leaves in summer;)

+ Ice cubes tone the skin, strengthen tissues, tighten and make the skin firmer, as well as smooth out light wrinkles!

+ Of course, I like to add butter to the ice cube infuser. tea tree and mint leaves and rose and chamomile flowers, even black currant leaves and sometimes berries of different plants. The effect is amazing!

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

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