Brew one tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers (or a tea bag) in hot water for 5 minutes. Enjoy it warm before bed, as it doubles as a natural sleep aid. Remember that good sleep equals better skin recovery.
3. Rooibos Tea
Here’s a lesser-known gem: rooibos, also called red bush tea. This is packed with alpha hydroxy acid and zinc, which help reduce acne flare-ups and promote smoother skin. Its high antioxidant content will also make it your natural anti-aging brew.
There is more! Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, which means it won’t disrupt your sleep, and you can have it before going to bed. All you need to do is steep a rooibos tea bag in boiling water for 5–6 minutes.
Bonus: It has a naturally sweet, nutty flavor, so you can skip the sugar and still enjoy it guilt-free.
4. Peppermint Tea
If you are struggling with oily or acne-prone skin, Peppermint tea may be your secret weapon. It helps regulate sebum production and reduces inflammation, which means you will have fewer breakouts and a more balanced complexion.
Steep fresh peppermint leaves (or a tea bag) in hot water for 5 minutes. Drink a cup after meals to help your skin and aid digestion. You can also add ice and lemon to your peppermint tea to make a refreshing summer drink that hydrates while calming flare-ups.
