When you’ve had a bad day, there is nothing like curling up with a steaming hot mug of tea to make you feel better. As well as the obvious benefit of keeping you hydrated, drinking certain types of teas can actually improve your skin’s health too. So if you want to reduce redness, sooth dry skin or just give your complexion a little detox, it’s time to ditch your latte and reach for the kettle.

 

Green tea for glowing skin

Although green tea does contain caffeine, it’s a relatively small amount, only 35mg per cup versus 100-200mg per cup for coffee. Green tea is also packed full of antioxidants which means inflammation and skin redness is reduced. When you’re finished drinking your cuppa, you can pop the cool teabags over your eyes to shrink those under-eye bags. You can also brew an extra cup, pour it into a spray bottle and use as a toner.

Beard Oils

What are they, why do you need them and how do you use them?

By Ally McManus

For a while my boyfriend and TAT Beauty Magazine designer, Blake, has had difficulties with his beard. Don’t get me wrong – it has been growing – just lifeless, itchy and unhealthy. It often gets to an uncomfortable point where he has to shave it off and I’m left looking at what was a man and is now a 14-year-old boy. That was until Daniel approached us from TheGroomedManCo. and things started to change.

 

Daniel Mahony, founder of TheGroomedManCo. had the inspiration for his beard oil business when he travelled around the United States in 2013. “I had grown a fresh beard in November 2012 after Movember and decided to grow my beard longer than it’s ever been.”

 

Daniel explains that he was prone to dryness and flaking with his skin, so when he came across beard oil in New York, and loved it, he knew he had to recreate something for the Australian market. “I started it as a hobby, but it gained momentum with friends and the Melbourne community so I decided to take my home formula and work with Australia’s leading manufacturer of botanical oils and make it a business.”
