Dye clothes with tea

Do you know the trick of dyeing clothes with tea? Black tea has strong coloring powers,look at the bottom of your cup of tea!

To dye his clothes nothing more simple. Depending on the clothe to be dyed I recommend using at least 1L of water. Boil the water and add between 3 and 5 tea bags (preferably black). Let infuse between 15 and 30 minutes.

Once well brewed, add your clothes and let soak until the color is the desired one.

You can rinse and dry! The tea dye is very resistant and withstands a lot of washes!

Eco-friendly, easy and fast, we love it!

Natural tea tanning

Same principle as for clothes! Tea has great colorant power! If you want a sun-soaked complexion without going through the uv box, self-tanning shower or other bronzing creams, opt for tea!

Infuse 2-3 tea bags in hot water for 15-30 minutes (the color of the tea will be darker for the result will be pronounced).

Cool the water for several hours, even days. Apply infused tea to areas of your body to tan with a cotton pad, dry well and apply a second coat if necessary.

The self-tanning effect of tea is of course not permanent and will fade from the first or second shower! But why not enjoy a nice tan (natural) for a day or evening?

Anti-puffiness and dark circles thanks to tea

Pockets and dark circles under the eyes are your nightmare? Creams take time to act when you would like a quick visible result? Apply tea bags directly to your dark circles.

Brew the tea in cold water, add a few ice cubes. Take them out after a few minutes and apply them directly to your pockets / dark circles. Leave a few minutes and you're done. Use white / clear tea preferably to avoid coloring your skin.
