There’s something decidedly summer about having glowy, radiant skin. Who can resist that glow from within? While many people think that gorgeous skin comes from a rigorous skin care routine, the truth is, what you put in your body makes a huge difference. The skin is an outward manifestation of what’s going on internally.

Tea beautifies from the inside out, and helps boost your natural glow in several key ways.

Here are 5 Ways Tea Can Boost Your Glow!

  • Tea is Anti-­Aging. Green and white teas have high levels of catechins, a potent type of antioxidant that works to neutralize free radicals that can damage and age your skin.

  • Tea Rehydrates Skin. It’s a fact: hydrated skin looks better than dry skin. Studies show that tea hydrates the body as effectively as water with the added benefits of being delicious and full of antioxidants.
  • Tea may Protect against UV Rays. It’s important to limit sun exposure and wear sunscreen to maintain great skin, but recent studies have found that regularly drinking green tea may prevent or even reverse the sun’s effects by providing photoprotection against harmful UV radiation.Tea is fabulous for the skin when used topically as well, so don’t let your used tea leaves go to waste. Try one of these DIY skin remedies:
  • Tea Reduces Under Eye Circles. Not enough beauty sleep last night? No one needs to know….do a tea compress. The tannins in tea help tighten skin and the caffeine shrinks blood vessels to reduce darkness around the eyes. Make your own tea compress by putting used tea leaves in a disposable tea filter and let cool. Apply the damp tea compress over your eyes for 10-­‐15 minutes for bright, radiant eyes.
  • Tea Soothes Skin. Thanks to the combo of caffeine and tannins, tea is a natural choice to speed healing of a variety of skin maladies. Tea can reduce the size of a wart, sty, or mosquito bite, as well as help bruises heal faster and soothe painful sunburns.
