5 Dreamy Herbal Tea Remedies For Fresh Winter Skin
Luxe aromatic blends to keep you looking luminous.
Yes, it's possible to drink your way to better skin, and while mimosa's technically do have vitamin C, Sunday brunch is not enough to get the job done. Herbal teas are a refreshing and wonderfully unexpected addition to your daily skin care regimen that cures all kinds of ailments.
Aromatically uplifting, black, green, and peppermint teas are known to tighten pores, for example, while chamomile and lavender reduce things like inflammation. Here, we bring you CR-approved ways to drink away eczema, rosacea, and crow's feet with natural blends. And—if you're feeling especially botanical—open up used teabags and mix them with your face masks and scrubs to fight wrinkles inside and out. Beauty, after all, is an inside job!
Ultimate Hydration
Juniper berry, green rooibos leaf, hibiscus flower, rosehip, sea buckthorn berry, and dandelion root are nature's homemade moisturisers. Push the pause button on aging with this lightweight but still full-bodied blend of herbs that delivers 24-hour hydration and improves elasticity, leaving you with a soft, supple canvas.
Clean And Clear
Silver lime, rosehip shells, rose petals, and tisane burst with free-radical fighting antioxidants, captivating a mind-body rejuvenating blend that also promotes a clear and healthy complexion. The result is skin that's youthful, hydrated, and luminously lit-from-within.

Maximum Chill
Stress causes all kinds of nasty ailments, and none more annoying then blemish prone, broken out skin.
