Happy Tuesday friends! Today I want to share a special Fall recipe featuring Lipton Pure Green Tea found at Publix! I also want to share another way you can enjoy green tea- as a eye beautifier! Aside from being delicious did you know Green tea can also be used to help with swollen eyes? Pretty interesting, right?
So exactly how does green tea help your eyes? Glad you asked! The caffeine in black and green teas has a positive effect on puffy, swollen eyes and can help to keep skin taut. Caffeine constricts the blood vessels within this sensitive tissue. This aids in reducing puffiness and inflammation. Black and green teas also contain antioxidants called flavonoids and tannins that have an anti-inflammatory effect. The tannins can help to tighten the skin and draw out fluid to further alleviate any puffiness.
BeauTEA: More Than Just Delicious
Who knew that helping your eyes could be so easy? Here is an easy way to incorporate Lipton Pure Green Tea into your beauty routine-
What you need: Two green tea bags and an empty ice cube tray.
What you do in advance: Brew a super-strong cup of green tea and pour it into the tray. Then into the freezer it goes.
What you do the morning of: After you’ve washed your face, pop out one of the cubes and gently massage directly onto your puffy under-eye area. Rub in small circles until melted.
Want to double down your green tea efforts to reap all the benefits? How about while you massage your eyes with these soothing tea-cubes, brew a separate cup to sip and get ready to take on the day!! Keep reading to try my green tea recipe!
