Who would have thought used tea bags had so many benefits beyond being your afternoon pick-me-up? With each kind of tea hosting different nutrients and antioxidants, working old tea bags into your beauty regimen will stretch your dollar and help you treat yourself to natural products easily!
Exfoliater
Green tea serves up multiple antioxidants and cancer-fighting agents that are good for both the inside and outside of your body. After you’ve enjoyed a cup, keep the tea bag and make an exfoliator! Brew another weaker cup of tea, mix it with sugar and you have an amazing natural face scrub.

Conditioner
Forget your bottle of conditioner, use your old tea bags! Black tea is the most effective type of this treatment, but it can semi dye light hair, so watch out! Save up a few bags, brew the tea, and pour over hair as normal. Black tea also stimulates the hair follicles so it will make your hair grow faster!

Reduce Puffiness
For your next home spa day, switch out those cucumbers on your eyes for some used tea bags! Tea helps reduce the puffiness around your eyes and will re-hydrate the skin. This method will also help alleviate dark circles under your eyes!
