Soothe Summer Skin with Tea-Infused Beauty Rituals
Between beach days, sun exposure, and dry heat, summer can be tough on your skin. But what if the solution to your glowing, calm complexion is already in your tea cupboard? Packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and soothing properties, tea isn't just for sipping; it's your new skincare essential.
Let’s explore simple, DIY beauty hacks using Mrs Doyle’s Chamomile and Green Tea that your skin (and your soul) will thank you for.
Why Tea Belongs in Your Skincare Routine
Tea is rich in polyphenols, catechins, and flavonoids; compounds known to:
- Reduce redness & inflammation
- Fight free radicals & sun damage
- Calm irritation from heat and dryness
- Improve skin tone and elasticity
Mrs Doyle’s Tea uses high-quality loose leaf blends, making them ideal for both drinking and DIY skincare. It’s self-care with an Irish soul.
