Teas to treat blackheads and pimples
Burdock tea – Place two tablespoons of chopped burdock root and half a liter of water in a pot. Let the mixture rest for about six hours, bring the fire and simmer for just one minute. Strain and wash your face with tea at least three times a day. You can also apply the tea, with the help of a cotton, just on the pimple that is inflamed.
Green tea – Boil a liter of water and place in a container with three sachets of green tea or 10 grams of its leaves. Let the infusion rest for 20 minutes and use the tea in areas where there is a higher concentration of acne. Recent studies have proven that green tea prevents the acne-causing bacteria from working. A compress with iced tea on the skin also helps fight pimples.
Rosemary Tea – Put 250ml of water in a pan, bring to the fire and turn off as soon as the boil starts. Add a tablespoon of dried rosemary, cover and let the infusion simmer for at least ten minutes. Strain and, with the help of cotton, spread the tea in the areas where you have more pimples. Rosemary combats the redness of the skin and prevents more acne from appearing.
Guava leaf tea – Take a tablespoon of the dried and chopped guava leaves and bring a cup of water to the fire. Turn off as soon as it comes to a boil and place the dry leaves in the pan. Cover and after ten minutes strain the tea and pass in the areas where you have more blackheads and pimples.
