Do you know what certain diseases are reflected in the appearance of our skin? Notably those related to hormones or certain internal organs such as the intestine, liver or kidneys. For this reason, always keep in mind that our skin's appearance is important. So therefore, facial care is no longer just a simple question, but a healthy one. And to improve health problems, there is nothing like taking care of it every day.
At this stage and unless there is a major problem indicated by the doctor, there is nothing like taking care of our health and achieving natural daily facial care from plants and flowers that we can take in natural teas and infusions, such as those that we can find or prepare with tea flavor products, where, as you know, we have a number of organic products so increase the quality and effectiveness.
Herbal teas and infusions that will help you, so to speak, not only in your face care every day, but also to improve the body functions creating a perfect balance of hormonal functioning, in addition to providing us with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, nutrients, all those, essential to look at a young and pretty skin.
BASIC SKIN CARE
Before moving on to talk about the best teas and infusions for facial care in a natural way, we believe it is important to remember the three basic steps that, all over the world, women and men, should do every day to get the best results and improve the appearance of facial skin. This is distributed in the following phases:
- Clean: a cleansing in the morning and evening will remove impurities from the face such as dirt, sweat, sebum and make-up. But not only that, cleansing the face, are also preparing to absorb, more effectively, the components of the products that we will use in the next two steps.
- Tone: so that we can remove any paint stripper we have previously applied, as well as purify and refresh the skin. This second stage of facial care also helps restore the ph of our skin. It is preferable in the morning and evening.
- Moisturize: A hydrated skin is a skin that breathes calmly, but will have to take into account what product to use, depending on the type of skin you have. Is it not itself a dry skin that a greasy skin or combination skin, requiring also in other types of cosmetic products. In this sense, we cannot apply the same day as night cream, although this step that must be done, just like the two previous ones, day and night, even if it is true that there are cosmetic products that can be applied in both moments, but those that are less so.
And, of course, and although not being part of the ritual of fundamental facial skin care, must also take into account sun protection throughout the year and not only in summer, make sun or not, since this, in one way or another, is always present and, therefore, we cannot avoid harming our skin. For this reason, each time the moisturizers are used daily, which include different levels of solar factor, although in summer or sun days more should strengthen this protection with creams for such purpose, i. e., cream or sunscreen.
HERBAL TEAS AND INFUSIONS FOR FACIAL SKIN CARE TREATMENT
As we said at the beginning of this post, that there are certain teas and herbal teas that are really effective when it comes to facials. In addition to being natural products and therefore without side effects, also take care of our internal health, leaving a pleasant smell in our face and an incomparable feeling of well-being. And don't forget that the objective of a good tea or infusion is always the latter.
Back to the most recommended teas and infusions for facial skin care, the following should be made mention of:
Camomile: since it has a large regenerative cell, in addition to its anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties, without forgetting the digestive which, as we said before, if our body functions well, is also reflected in our skin. In this sense, natural dermatology experts recommend a cup of chamomile 20 minutes after lunch and dinner.
In addition, you can also use chamomile in the pyramids to perform the first step of the basic facial care ritual: cleansing your face every night. You only have to infuse as you always do, let it cool and apply on the face with a clean cotton pad. This way, your skin will rest and be hydrated.
Tila: a similar effect to chamomile is that of tila. In addition to helping us improve our gastrointestinal system and, therefore, taking care of the external appearance of our skin, as far as facial care is concerned, if this type of infusion is taken on a regular basis (but not more than 2/3 cups per day), the skin will be more relaxed, cleaner and serene.
Organic Rooibos: this caffeine-free drink from Africa also helps improve the condition of our skin, especially if taken regularly. As is the case with chamomile, it can be taken in infusion (breakfast or after meals), but in addition, can also be applied on the face with a cotton swab soaked with rooibos infused stem that we have previously let cool. Rooibos is good for slowing down the effects of cellular ageing, thanks to its antioxidant power. On the other hand, this caffeine-free drink is used to treat skin problems such as itching, dermatitis, hives or to fight the appearance of simple herpes on the lips.
Ginger: which helps to rejuvenate the skin and take care of liver health which, as we mentioned at the beginning of this post, can affect the external appearance of the facial skin, it is therefore recommended to take, every day, an infusion of ginger in fasting, so that the effect is more important. If the results are even better, there are experts also recommended, in addition to taking the infusion, chew for a few seconds, the pieces of ginger root. They also explain that a few drops of lemon or honey, in order to reduce the strong flavor of ginger, are good for facial care, as it improves intestinal transit and cares for the liver. If we combine ginger, lemon and rooibos we have our delicious and aromatic rooibos with organic ginger and lemon, which you will find useful for facials every day. On the other hand, if, like reducing inflammation of the skin, for example, dark circles or regenerating and healing scars that you may have, make an infusion of ginger and chamomile and apply it to the face, with a clean cotton pad. Repeat this operation for day and night and you will see how it improves the look of your face.
Green tea: to refresh the skin and reduce the appearance of tired face, thanks to its high antioxidant content. In this respect and for facial care treatment is recommended to take a tea in the morning or middle late. Some experts recommend adding a few drops of lemon and pure honey to increase its effectiveness. Thanks to this last product we will also debug the intestine and, therefore, it will also affect the image that projects our skin. As you know, in the flavors of tea, we have a wide range of green teas, but in this case, the most recommended would be pure, organic Sencha green tea, Japanese green tea Asahi Gyokura or Chinese green tea Gunpowder. In addition, the combination with aloe vera, which heals and refreshes the skin, is also a good choice when it comes to facial care. We do not forget our ginger green tea, which you can use for the same purpose.
Black tea and red tea: both are powerful antioxidants. The first, black tea, distinguishes itself, moreover, for its great contribution in minerals, in addition to flavonoids which gives the antioxidant effect of this tea, contributes to regenerating the skin cells. You can both take infusion, as applied to the toning/cleaning mode in the morning and evening, although you should be careful with dry skin. As far as red tea is concerned, in addition to its antioxidant effect, it is also used for facial care because it improves the liver metabolism if taken, as well as the secretion of gastric juices and, consequently, improves the external look of our skin.
In this case, as with green tea, we recommend that for the facial care, take pure teas, such as Yunnan Pu Erh, Pu Erh 1st grade Eco red teas, black tea breakfast echoes or Earl Grey for black teas. Supreme black tea or black tea Darjeeling Himalayas are also an excellent choice.
The white tea: considered as the tea of beauty, contains triple polyphenols than the effective green tea, being an antioxidant much more than green tea, while not being used at the same time in the development of products intended for cosmetic or beauty. Thanks to this, tea can delay the aging of the skin, especially premature skin, on many occasions, by insufficient exposure to the sun, in addition to increasing your defenses.
These are some of the ideas that we can offer to your daily facial care, but in reality, with the combination of teas and infusions are mentioned, along with other plants, herbs and oils such as lavender, rosemary or eucalyptus, among other natural products, can be natural creams to treat problems such as acne, scars or spots on the skin. But already, we are leaving that to another post. Thanks!
