Nourished by rain and dew's brilliance
Their serene essence passed down through generations
Hailed as immortal buds beyond the dust of the world
From the moment a tea leaf is plucked
It endures rolling, baking, pressing—countless refining steps
Before becoming tea fit for brewing
Its life mirrors a phoenix's rebirth
Emerging anew in a wisp of delicate fragrance
Incorporating tea into cosmetics, allowing its beauty-enhancing compounds to be directly absorbed by the skin, has become a focus of modern research.
Tea-infused beauty products now include cleansers, toners, masks, whitening creams, sunscreens, and shampoos—all harnessing tea's skincare properties with safety and minimal irritation. Simple home remedies like using brewed tea water offer economical and effective long-term skincare solutions.
Tea Water Facial
After washing your face at night, brew tea, apply the liquid to your skin, gently pat, or press a tea-soaked cloth against your face before rinsing. This helps fade spots and brighten complexion.
Tea Leaf Mask
Mix 1 tablespoon flour and 1 egg yolk, then add 1 tablespoon green tea powder. Apply evenly to a cleansed face, rinse after 20 minutes. Alternatively, blend 1 tablespoon sweet tea liquid with 1 tablespoon flour for a 15–20 minute mask to combat acne and excess oil.
Antifungal Foot Soak
Tea's high tannin content offers potent antifungal effects, especially against athlete's foot-causing fungi. Steep concentrated tea nightly for foot soaks—persistence is key for lasting results.
Tea for Dark Circles
Steep tea, squeeze dry, and place in a cloth pouch. Rest over closed eyes for 10–15 minutes to soothe fatigue, lighten dark circles, and reduce inflammation.
Tea’s Anti-Wrinkle Benefits
Tea polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals—1 mg of tea polyphenols equals 9 mcg of SOD in efficacy, surpassing similar substances. Studies by Japan’s Okuda Takuo show tea polyphenols’ anti-aging effects are 18 times stronger than vitamin E. Regular tea consumption promotes youthful skin.
