Green Tea Day #2!
Control humidity
Take a thin cloth bag full of green tea leaves and hang it in a room or area of your house that collects too much humidity. The leaves will absorb the moisture.
Eliminating odor in the fridge
Take a handful of green tea leaves and place them in a thin cloth bag or cheese cloth inside your refrigerator. The leaves will absorb all odors and keep your fridge fragrance-free.
Preventing skin wrinkles
Apply lotions and creams with green tea extract or drink the tea regularly. Anti-inflammatory properties and powerful antioxidant found in green tea can help to prevent wrinkles and fine lines.
Preventing sunburn
Apply a green tea extract to the skin or a cooled cloth that was soaked in brewed green tea to protect yourself from sunburn. Drinking green tea regularly a few weeks prior to sun exposure can also reduce the possibility of skin damage, due to the tea’s powerful antioxidant. Green tea does not block UV light!
Stop a small bleeding
Steep a green tea bag in hot water, remove it after one minute, and then let it cool. Place the tea bag on top of the bleeding area or dip gauze into the tea water and apply the gauze to the gash. The tannins found in green tea help stop bleeding by coagulating the blood.
