Eye Soother

Black Tea Soother
(This is also taken from the book The Body Book, by Anne Akers Johnson)


Black tea contains tannin, which reduces the puffiness around your eyes. Cheaper teas tend to have a higher tannin level, so don't waste any money on the fancy stuff.


2 Black tea bags

Run the tea bags under cool water to completely moisten the tea

Being careful of the staples in the bags (if there are any) place the damp tea bags over your  closed eyes.
Cover with a cool washcloth & relax for 5-10 mins
