Here's the tea: Tea is a beauty product
What's in your cabinet might be the best wellness tool you've never considered.
Morning lovelies,
Before you read this love letter to tea, may I suggest you grab one? Go on, treat yourself. You deserve it.
And before you think, tea is boring. Let me tell you that I consider tea to be one of the most overlooked wellness tools that we can (literally have in our cabinet).
There’s literally a tea for everything.
Perimenopause problems. There’s a tea (many, really) that helps to balance your hormones.
Want to boost your body’s ability to detox? There’s a tea for that.
There’s even a tea that acts like a natural Botox.
YES. My friends. There’s a tea for everything.
Tea is amazing for wellness due to its high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
These compounds help reduce inflammation, detoxify the body, and support skin health.
Basically, if you want a lit-from-within glow, go get a tea.
Many teas, like green, white, and herbal etc, also contain polyphenols that protect against free radical damage, which can slow the appearance of wrinkles and crepey skin.
Many teas also promote hydration, which is essential for overall health, digestion, and maintaining radiant skin.
I’m OBSESSED. And I hope you’ll be too.
Let’s dive into the teas I’m constantly pulling from the cabinet!
Nettle Tea
Good for: Detox
Fave brand: Thrive Market
This is my number one. I travel with it. I gift it. It’s THE tea for me. There are lots of health benefits to nettle tea, but it’s especially beneficial for women's health. Nettle tea is great for boosting your kidney and liver function, which helps your body detox. It’s high on my list of foods for glowing skin.
Shatavari Tea
Good for: Acne
Fave brand: The Full Leaf Tea Co.
This is fantastic for women in all stages. In particular, though, this is great for naturally treating hormonal skin conditions like cystic acne.
Ceremonial-grade Matcha
Good for: Cleansing energy
Fave brand: Anima Mundi
This tea is packed with antioxidants and provides a clean energy boost. I have this on my list of high vibrational foods.
Hibiscus Tea
Good for: wrinkles
Fave brand: Rishi
Embrace hibiscus, known for its skin-nourishing properties—a natural Botox, if you will. It supports skin elasticity and hydration. For what it’s worth, Kirsten now considers Hibiscus Margaritas a wellness tool, too—and who am I to tell her she’s wrong?
Dandelion Tea
Good for: Flushing toxins
Fave brand: The Republic of Tea
Rich in antioxidants, dandelion tea supports liver health. It aids in the liver detox process by enhancing bile production, promoting digestion, and flushing out toxins. So many brands sell ‘detox’ skincare, but detox is from within. Here’s a guide on my approach to detoxing. I also highly recommend pairing this lovely with a nice soak.
Black Cohosh Tea
Good for: Perimenopause/menopause
Fave brand: The Full Leaf Tea Co.
This earthy root makes an amazing tea for peri/menopausal symptoms. If you’re having hot flashes, night sweats, vertigo, and nervousness, give it a try. For more on perimenopause, give this podcast a listen and check out the insanely long list of supplements and tools we’ve tested to help with this (not so lovely) phase of life.
White Tea
Good for: Immunity
Fave brand: Rishi
White tea, specifically silver needles white tea, is super rich in antioxidants—perfect for protecting the skin from damage and giving you a glow. Its also anti-inflammatory and antibacterial so fantastic for immunity.
Where to buy?
These are the tea brands that I trust for quality.
