How to Use Chamomile Tea on your Face
I love sipping on some chamomile tea (with a healthy drizzle of honey). It calms anxiety, treats an upset stomach and soothes frayed nerves. You should definitely try it in place of your usual mug of coffee at least once a week.
Chamomile has been used as a healing herb since centuries ago. It is best known for its soothing and calming properties. It not only soothes the mind, but also skin! You can apply chamomile tea on your face to help a lot of skin problems including irritated skin, rashes, rosacea, acne and oily skin as well.
