I recently started drinking green tea and i didn't know what to do with the tea bags. I added green tea in my diet because i heard it has got tremendous health benefits.
1. it reduces sun damage. (yes i live in India and need this very bad :P )
2. helps with wrinkles and other anti aging signs on your skin . ( i am just 21, so don't have to worry about this for now :D)
3.it is anti bacterial and anti viral. (i usually don't recover from cold for a week. was able to recover in a day :D)
4. reduces the risk of heart decease.
5. reduces bad cholesterol .
6. reduces the risk of cancer. (Esophageal and mouth)
7.keeps your weight in check! (main reason why i started drinking :P )
8. prevents the rise of blood sugar.
9. lot more benefits! so just drink it :D
i don't use loose green tea leaves but use tea bags.
i usually drink two to three cups a day, my mom and dad just 1 cup (they hate the taste . so don't prefer) . i avoid drinking green tea after 7 because it has caffeine and i will be sleeping in 3 to 4 hours.
i am left with so many tea bags and i don't know what to do! so, i started doing this on daily basis :)

to do:
1. first mix only curd and green tea. dip cotton balls or cotton pads in this mixture and keep it aside.
2.then later to the above mixture add a pinch of turmeric and required amount of rice powder.
3. apply it to the parts of your skin which is exposed to sun. ( i apply to my face , neck , hands and feet) **AVOID THE AREA AROUND YOUR EYES!!!**
4.put the dipped cotton pads on your eyes and relax for 20 mins!
5.then gently scrub it in upward movements ( use water if it is dry ) and wash it off.
you now have the benefits of green tea both internally and externally :D
