Icy Elixir: DIY Chamomile Infused Under-Eye Soothing Cubes

Taking a moment for self-care can do wonders for both our physical and mental well-being. Imagine a warm summer day, after your morning cup of coffee, and your kids are off to school. It's the perfect opportunity to focus on yourself and give your skin some extra attention. One easy and refreshing way to do this is by using chamomile tea ice cubes on your face.

Chamomile tea is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective remedy for reducing swelling, puffiness and inflammation caused by acne, eczema or other skin rashes or sunburn. The cold factor of the tea ice cube also helps to soothe and cool the skin, while the flavonoids in the tea work to nourish and tighten the skin.

To make chamomile tea ice cubes, simply brew chamomile tea and pour it into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, take out the tea ice cubes and gently apply it around the eye area, then smoothing over the cheekbone, chin and forehead. Leave it on for a few minutes, then pat your face dry and moisturize as usual. This simple routine can leave your skin looking and feeling revitalized and refreshed.

Incorporating chamomile tea ice cubes in your skincare routine can be an effective way to reduce swelling, puffiness and inflammation, soothe and cool the skin, and nourish and tighten the skin.
