Herbal Spotlight: Calendula Tea for Radiant Skin

Sip Your Way to Clear Skin: Calendula Tea Recipe

As we continue to focus on nourishing our skin from the inside out, I'm excited to share one of my favorite herbal remedies for skin health—Calendula Tea! 🌼 Known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, calendula can help soothe irritated skin, reduce acne, and promote a radiant complexion.

Why Calendula?

• Anti-Inflammatory: Helps reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
• Antimicrobial: Fights off acne-causing bacteria.
• Healing Properties: Promotes skin regeneration and repair.

🌼 Calendula Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of dried calendula flowers (or 2 tablespoons of fresh flowers)
• 1 cup of hot water
• Honey or lemon to taste (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Flowers: Place the dried or fresh calendula flowers in a tea infuser or directly into your cup.
2. Add Hot Water: Pour 1 cup of hot (not boiling) water over the flowers.
3. Steep: Let it steep for 10 minutes to extract all the beneficial compounds.
4. Strain and Enjoy: If you placed the flowers directly into the cup, strain the tea into another cup. If using an infuser, simply remove it.
5. Add Flavor (Optional): Stir in honey or a slice of lemon to enhance the taste.

How to Use:

• Drink Up: Enjoy a cup of calendula tea once or twice daily to support skin health from within.
• Topical Use: Once the tea cools, you can also use it as a facial rinse or apply it to the skin with a cotton pad to soothe irritated areas.

Note: Always do a patch test before applying it to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivities.

Give this soothing tea a try, and let me know how it helps your skin glow! 🌟

Sun protection DOES NOT stop just because summertime is ending. Here are some quick tips to stay protected in this summer/fall-ish weather.

1. Use a Multi-Tasking Product:

SPF Moisturizer: Choose a moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher to combine hydration and sun protection in one step.

2. Carry Sunscreen On-the-Go:

Portable Sunscreen: Keep a travel-size sunscreen in your bag for easy daily reapplication.

3. Opt for Mineral Sunscreen:

Mineral-Based: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide broad-spectrum protection and are less likely to cause breakouts if you are acne-prone.

4. Set a Reminder:

Reapply Every 2 Hours: Use your phone’s alarm to remind you to reapply sunscreen, especially when spending time outdoors.

5. Wear Protective Clothing:

Sun-Protective Clothing: Hats, sunglasses, and UPF-rated clothing can provide additional protection without frequent reapplication.

UPF = Ultraviolet Protection Factor.
