How to Use Black Tea as a Quick Fix for Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles

Black tea is a variety of tea that is more oxidized than the green, oolong and white varieties. It is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than the less oxidized teas. What you may not know is that black tea is an excellent natural remedy for those pesky dark circles under your eyes and for reducing puffiness around the eyes in general.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 Black tea bags

1. Make two cups of tea using the two teabags.
2. Place the two tea bags in the refrigerator overnight.
3. When you wake up in the morning with bags under your eyes, lie down and place one teabag over each eye. Allow to remain for 10 to 20 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the tea bags are cold. The cold combines with the properties in the tea to enhance its effectiveness.
• Don't drink black tea before going to bed unless you don't want to sleep very well.
