Using tea bags on your eyes as a remedy for puffiness, dark circles, and redness has been popular for many years. But does it really work? According to many health and beauty publications, the answer is yes – and if you’re not averse to lying down for a few minutes with tea bags on your eyes – it is a reasonably affordable, natural, and easy way to treat tired eyes.
Caffeine is used in many beauty products and has been proven to help improve the elasticity of skin. You may find that the benefits of applying Tejava Pyramid tea bags to your eyes is less expensive and more relaxing than alternative skincare solutions. The caffeine in the tea bags, applied topically, helps to constrict blood vessels, thereby reducing puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.The antioxidants in tea known as tannins and flavonoids will also help to tighten the skin around your eyes. Just resting your eyes by closing them for this time could help alleviate your symptoms and you might even sneak in a power nap!
If you want to re-use your Tejava tea bags on your eyes, simply squeeze out any excess water – you don’t want tea to drip in your eyes. Allow the tea bags to cool in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes or even overnight. You can use them while still warm for a more relaxing feel or thoroughly chilled for more of an energy boost. Find a nice relaxing spot to lie down, close your eyes and allow the tea bags to work their magic for 15-30 minutes.
