Put the tea bag to a beauty use :)

Don't we all love a good cup of tea . It is so refreshing and instantly gives you a much needed boost , unlike coffee which perks you up for a little while . Have you ever thought what you could do with the tea bag after it's had it's little soak in your cup ? Well no point throwing it out . Put it to good use . Three surprising beauty uses for the humble tea bag . Give it a go .
1.) Tea Steam:  Bring the luxury of a spa to your home by making a DIY facial tea steam. Simply boil a few cups of water and pour into a large bowl, then add a tea bag or two (I recommend green tea for its antioxidant properties and soothing scent).  Place a towel and place it over your face, then bend over the bowl for five to ten minutes – this will open your pores naturally and tone and hydrate your skin.  Nourishing :)
2.) Eye de-puffer:  Brew two bags of tea, then wring them out slightly and allow them to cool for a few seconds.  Lie back on a flat surface and carefully apply one teabag to each eye, pressing slightly.  Leave the tea bags on for 15-20 minutes – you should notice brighter eyes immediately afterwards! The tannin acid in tea helps de-puff and shrink any puffiness or inflammation in the eye area.
3.) Fix a broken nail: Broken nail? A tea bag will solve that! Simply cut a small piece of your tea bag and press it onto your broken nail, adhering it with nail glue (some say superglue works too, but be careful not to glue your fingers together!).  File off all the edges until the edges are completely smooth, then seal it off with a nourishing top coat.  Good as new!
Enjoy trying out these , and add me if you like my posts .
have a wonderful day #stayblessed
