When it comes to beauty, we can learn a lot from different cultures around Africa. Have you ever wondered why people from certain cultures like the Somali or Egyptian have such flawless, glowing skin? What do they do that we may not be doing? Here are some tips from around the world:
1. South African Rooibos tea
Rooibos tea is known to protect the skin from free radicals and helps detoxify the body. This red tea has similar benefits to green tea and is free from caffeine. Rooibos tea has long been used in South Africa to treat different skincare problems such as acne, eczema, irritation, rashes, and sunburn. It has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties therefore it helps to delay the signs of aging.
• Wash your face with rooibos tea as an alternative to water.
• Apply Rooibos directly on your skin
• Use the tea as a toner
• If you have itchy skin, wipe the affected area with rooibos tea.
There are now many skincare products that contain rooibos and these are also locally available.
