Surprising Ways to Use Used Tea Bags

Often we start our day with having a cup of hot tea as we expect this is the most effective way to kick start the day. Let me tell you that you simply feel refreshed after having a cup of tea because the tea contains antioxidants which may even be used for our beauty benefits. 

If you drink tea regularly, you most likely go through plenty of teabags! A typical person drinks tea and throws away the bag without a reconsideration. If you would like more bang for your buck, you reuse it for one more cup then throw it within the trash, right? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something useful you'll do with all those tea bags, instead of just throwing them out? Well, the great news is that there are many ways to place all those tea bags to good use!

Beat Bad Breath- Mint tea is full of antiseptic and antibacterial qualities, making it ideal for banishing bad breath.

Soothe Tired Eyes- Probably the well-known beauty hack, soaking two tea-bags in the warm water and putting them on tired eyes for 20-minutes can help to soothe them. Experts say it is the tannins in tea that help reduce puffiness.

Freedom from Dark Circles- If you've got dark circles under your eyes, then you'll get freedom from them using tea bags. Tea contains caffeine that may reduce the darkened skin under your eyes.

Hydrate Dry Skin- Re-brew used tea bags to refresh parched skin. Allow the tea to chill, then pour it into a spray or squeeze bottle. Then simply spritz it onto your skin or use a cotton pad to apply. Any tea will do, but the antioxidants in tea are particularly effective for rehydrating dry skin!

To Soothe Cuts- Press a wet tea bag on a bleeding move to help ease the pain. It is the tannin in tea that helps shrink blood vessels to prevent any bleeding. This trick works especially well on razor burn because the tea’s soothing, astringent qualities can help to stop that painful stinging sensation.

Soothe Sunburn- Tea is full of polyphenolic extracts, which research has proven helps reduce the number of sunburn cells and further protects the epidermis from further UV damage.

Restore Shine To Your Hair- You'll use tea to make your hair shiny and smooth! Use a few used tea bags to brew a robust tea, then allow the tea to cool down completely. Before going for a shower, pour the tea into your hair until it’s completely saturated. Allow the tea to sit down for about 10 minutes, then hop within the shower. Shampoo and condition your hair as normal. Your hair will be many thanks to the tea treatment!

Get Rid of Stinky Feet- If your feet smell terrible because of sweat, then you'll seek help from the tea bags. Boil some tea bags in water. Keep this water aside for cooling down. Soak your feet during this water. you'll get relieved from the stinky feet in no minutes.

Remove Carpet Odors- Sprinkle used dried tea over a carpet and leave it for a minimum of quarter-hour before vacuuming. It's alleged to reduce the smells. This trick didn't work on behalf of me although I also tried using slightly damp tea leaves. 

Eliminate Shoe Odors- To eliminate offensive shoe odours, stuff a few of dried used tea bags into old socks and traffic jam the openings to make sealed bundles. Place them deep inside the shoes and leave them there for some days. 

Clean Glass and Mirrors- We use old newspapers to wash glass and mirrors, which leaves them sparkly clean. I used to be told this tea solution would accomplish the same result. Just got to add 2 tea bags to a cup of boiling water. Soak a soft cloth into the mixture, once the tea cools completely. Use that solution to wash the glass and mirrors.

Polish Wood Surfaces- Weak tea is often wont to restore a pleasant shine to your wood flooring and furniture. Steep a few used tea bags in warm water to make the weak tea. Then apply it to the wood surfaces with a microfiber cloth or a soft rag. Provides it with an honest buff, and your wood is going to be shining in no time!
