CLIPD* tip: Green Tea & Skin Sympathy

In the mirror was a lady sun burned and wishing she could do what she told her family to do to be skin healthy:

• Apply SPF 30 sunscreen, 30 minutes before you know you'll be outdoors.
  
• Drink green tea. Antioxidant rich, Purdue researchers found it kept cancer cells at bay.
  
• Wear a wide-brimmed cotton or straw hat between 10 am to 4 pm. (Southern ways would have you remove it once indoors.)
  
• Use cooled, moist green tea bags to soothe off sunburn or puffy eyelids. Lie down, close eyelids and apply bags for 10-15 minutes.
  
• Dab green aloe vera gel or blue emu cream over mild sunburn to cool it down.
  
• Bathe in tea. Hang five, fragrant tea bags on the spigot and let the warm water flow. Relax in the fragrance. (more beauty ideas at Bigelow Tea)
