I love a nice, big, hot cup of tea. Sunday afternoon, orange pekoe or perhaps a green tea, in my favourite big mug with a cookie on the side and a good book on the table = perfection. While it tastes great, it's also packed full of antioxidants which means it's great for you too. So, it only makes sense that beauty products would contain tea to help soothe skin and prevent signs of aging.

In addition to some great products containing teas, you can also use your tea bags at home for some DIY beauty treatments. Here are a few tea-lightful tips and tricks: 

1. Create a green tea toner to help clear oily, acne prone skin! We show you how over here. 

2. Tea Facial: Boil a large pot of water, add two tea bags and bend over bowl with a towel over your head for a makeshift steamer. Do this for about 5-10 minutes to open your pores. 

3.) An oldie but goodie, use tea bags to de-puff eyes. Be sure to let your tea bags cool slightly and let rest for about 15-20 minutes. 

4.) Add shine to dull hair with a tea rinse. Steep tea bags in boiling water for 15 minutes and allow mixture to cool for a few hours or overnight. Pour it onto freshly-washed hair and leave on for ten minutes. Be sure to shampoo and condition afterwards to seal in the shine.
