Sunbathing during vacations at the sea, on the lake, or on the balcony is a common practice. We can't deny that it's very pleasant, but it's not all that beautiful, and doing so without protection could lead to the occasional sunburn.
Sunburns shouldn't be ignored, as they're very dangerous for the skin. However, who hasn't experienced them at some point? It's easy to get distracted, stay out in the sun unplanned, and end up with red, inflamed skin.
In these cases, it's common to turn to natural remedies to relieve the skin discomfort. And in this regard, Tétique organic teas can help. Specifically, green and black teas provide significant relief from burns.
Healing ingredients in tea
Black tea and green tea have many valuable ingredients that alleviate various health conditions and can help with sunburn and even skin irritation.
In addition to their high vitamin C content, green tea and black tea contain tannins and flavonoids. These are ingredients that relieve pain and inhibit inflammation. They also support skin tissue in storing fluids and keep the skin soft and supple.
Medical studies have also shown that tea protects against UV damage. Both black and green tea contain polyphenols, which are phytochemicals responsible for the color, flavor, and aroma of tea. They also inhibit certain enzymes that promote the development of skin cancer.
How to use tea for sunburn
After a sunburn, damaged skin needs plenty of fluids. In addition to applying a gentle moisturizer, you should continually provide your body with plenty of fluids by drinking green tea. This is ideal because, with their valuable ingredients, green and black tea can soothe sunburns even when applied externally. For this, prepare an infusion of three teaspoons of green tea and approximately 300 ml of water.
Let the infusion cool completely. Then, soak a linen cloth in it and place it on the burned area. This procedure should be repeated, depending on the intensity of the pain, three to five times a day.
The linen cloth should remain on the skin for at least 30 minutes. Compresses soaked in a cold infusion of black tea, placed on the sore area for about 30 minutes, have an equally pleasant and relaxing effect.
Black tea can also be used in a bath, adding 3 heaped teaspoons to the bathwater. A mild sunburn can be cured with this treatment and a few days of moisturizer, but severe sunburns with blisters should be consulted by a dermatologist.
