RECYCLE TIP: GREEN TEA BAG EYE TREATMENT

Squeeze the moisture out of 2 green tea bags, lie down and place one bag on each eye. Relax with bags in place for 10-15 minutes. The tannins and antioxidants in the green tea tighten the skin and reduce puffiness around the eyes as well as diminish dark circles.

Brain Booster Energy Tea

Forego coffee and choose green tea, with its more moderate level of caffeine, to counteract that mid-afternoon energy slump. Recent research suggests that this level of caffeine combined with green tea’s antioxidants and certain amino acids boosts mental alertness and focus and overall cognitive function while reducing mental fatigue.

• Green tea
• 1 Tablespoon coconut milk
• 1 Tablespoon Hawai’i Harvest Beneficial Blends Turmeric, Ginger & Honey
