Tea made from fresh or dried Chamomile flowers provides amazing benefits for your skin.

1. Rejuvenation by promoting sleep
It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in your brain that may reduce insomnia, which is chronic inability to sleep.

A study found that people who consumed 270 mg of chamomile extract twice a day for 28 days fell asleep 15 minutes faster and had less night time awakening than those who did not consume the extract.

So drinking chamomile tea before bed is certainly worth a try if you have trouble falling or staying asleep.

2. Improved Digestion
Our skin reflects the condition of our body. If you have good digestion and your body gets all the necessary nutrients, your skin looks healthy and glowing.
Chamomile Tea may protect against diarrhea, stomach ulcers, nausea, and gas, probably due to its anti-inflammatory effects.

3. Better Complexion
Applying chamomile to the skin in cosmetic products, such as lotions, eye creams, and soaps may be moisturizing and helpful for reducing skin inflammation.

If you don’t want to buy another skincare product and try the effects of chamomile on your skin, just make a strong chamomile tea and apply it on your face with a cotton pad same as you would do with a toner or lotion.

It works well on blemishes, due to the anti-inflammatory compounds contained in chamomile.

Topical application of chamomile may also be effective in the treatment of atopic eczema. It was found to be about 60% as effective as 0.25% hydrocortisone cream.


4. Lighter Skin Tone
The extract of Chamomile flowers acts as a natural whitening agent, helping to lighten the complexion.

It tightens the pores, softens the skin, and heals inflammation. The antioxidants in Chamomile tea prevent and reduce inflammatory lesions.

So you can use Chamomile flowers or tea bags as a facial to naturally brighten your skin and even out your skin complexion reducing redness.

5. Reduced puffiness and under-eye circles
The skin surrounding the eyes is very gentle, thin, and sensitive with less fat than in other areas. As we age, the skin around the eyes may become puffy, dull and dark. Chamomile with its flavones, luteolin and apigenin gets absorbed easily and helps reduce the dark under-eye circles and puffiness.
After drinking chamomile tea use the flowers on your skin. Cool them down and place the used teabags over your eyes for 15 minutes. You will see amazing effects on your eye area!

6. Relieves stress, anxiety, and depression
Anxiety and depression have also detrimental effects on our skin so everything that helps improve your mood and relieve stress and anxiety is of great importance for everyone concerned about beauty.

7. Healthy Hair
Topical use of chamomile tea promotes healthier, shinier hair. Anti-inflammatory compounds can alleviate itchy, dry scalp that can lead to dandruff. Chamomile tea is also a natural hair lightener so you can achieve lighter hair or highlights by applying the brew to your scalp. To get these benefits, simply rinse your hair with cold chamomile tea.


ADVERSE EFFECTS
Negative side effects are extremely rare.
Chamomile tea is safe to drink for most people. However, some people can get allergic reactions by drinking chamomile tea.
