How to make effects of a tea bath last for months

This super simple process will have you smelling and feeling great in no time! You'll need: 1cup tea leaves, tea pouches (or substitute) unscented lotion, and containers for your homemade lotion.

Mix together 1 cup of your favorite tea leaves. Pick teas based on the smells you enjoy and that will suit your needs. I love what green tea does for my skin so it's always in my mix!

Separate 3/4 cup of your tea leaf mix into your tea pouches. Any sealable thin mesh pouch will do. I like to use 3 or 4 pouches for one batch because it's easier to regulate the strength of the bath.

Bathing: Activate tea leaves by adding the bag to boiling water before putting it in the bath. Add extra tea bags to the tub as needed. Save what you don't use for your next bath.

The remaining 1/4cup tea leaves will help create a lotion you can use every day. Add leaves to equal parts boiling water. Steep then cool in fridge (1hr) or freezer (15min). Don't remove leaves yet.

Add 1tbsp of tea mixture for each 1cup of lotion and stir. This way your lotion won't be runny. You can keep some leaves in the mixture or remove them by using an infuser before adding to lotion.

Fill your chosen containers with your new tea lotion.

Use small sealable containers to take your homemade lotion anywhere! Pop it in your purse, gym bag, carry-on, desk drawer or even use it as a gift topper so you can share with friends!

Now you and your skin can enjoy the positive effects of a tea bath everyday--no matter where your day takes you!
