Tea & Beauty

Tea may also be good for your beauty regime, so you don’t just have to drink it to enjoy all of its advantages!

• There have been a number of encouraging studies of skin benefits of green tea. Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation, rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.10
• One study, performed in 2003 by Dr. Stephen Hsu, of the Medical College of Georgia Department of Oral Biology, found that green tea was able to rejuvenate old skin cells that were at the end of their life cycle.11
• Chamomile tea not only is a natural sleep aid, but, if used on lighter-colored hair, it will also work as a natural dye to refresh color and make it stand out.
• Steep a strong cup of black tea and use the brewed tea as a final rinse for your hair. The result will be a shiny, soft mane!
• If you ate too much garlic for lunch and don’t have a toothbrush handy, drink a cup of Tetley Pure Peppermint Herbal Tea. It’s an easy, calorie-free way to freshen your breath!
• After a long day at work, chamomile or peppermint tea makes a serene and soothing footbath!
• Even your household can get a makeover from green-tea bags. After steeping a cup of tea, put the tea bag in a bowl, uncovered, and place it on the top shelf of your refrigerator. Odors will be kept at bay better than with a box of baking soda.

With its high antioxidant content and various beauty applications, it’s no wonder that more and more people are including tea as part of their day.

Good to the last drop.

To follow a healthy diet, remember to eat a variety of foods from all the food groups, including 5 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And consider adding a cup or two of tea to your everyday diet to help increase your flavonoid intake. Because adding Tetley won’t just improve your state of mind—it can help improve the health of your whole body.
