Step 1: Choose the right tea bag
Choose caffeinated teas like black tea, green tea, or other teas with anti-inflammatory properties like chamomile herbal tea, as their soothing properties will help your eyes. Note that the tea bag should not have any additional ingredients, as this can irritate your skin.
Step 2: Prepare the tea
Prepare a cup of hot water, steep two tea bags for about 3-5 minutes to let the tea infuse and extract their essence. After steeping, squeeze the water out of the tea bags and let cool.
Step 3: Cool the tea bag
You can leave the brewed tea bag in the refrigerator for a few minutes before use for optimal results. The cooling effect will also help reduce puffiness and rejuvenate your eyes after application.
Step 4: Clean thoroughly
The area where the tea bag will be applied should be thoroughly cleaned before application. Gently wash your face to remove dirt and makeup. This step is important to avoid any unwanted irritation inside the eyes.
Step 5: Apply tea bag
Find a relaxing position and place the cooled tea bags over your eyes. Make sure the tea bags fit snugly and cover the entire eye contour.
Step 6: Relax
Place the tea bags over your eyes for 10-15 minutes. This is a great time to lie back, close your eyes, and enjoy the peace and quiet. The beneficial properties of the tea will soak into your skin and do their work.
Step 7: Remove the tea bag and rinse thoroughly.
Discard the tea bag after use. Cool your face with water and rinse off any remaining substance. This will help to increase the comfort after applying the bag and also remove any remaining skin irritation.
Step 8: Use regularly
For best results, you can do this treatment 2-3 times a week depending on your individual needs. Doing so can help maintain the skin around your eyes and make it look fresher and more beautiful.
