Make Your Own Beauty Tea — Yes, Beauty Tea

DaySteam Believer
While the smell of the lemon balm and lavender may have you jonesing for a sip, this isn't a tea for drinking. Instead, steep your tea and use it as a facial steam. "It's great for skin that gets oily in the summer due to sun exposure or sunscreen," says Till. "The astringent qualities in the comfrey, white willow, and yarrow help counteract that oiliness." You could also brew this tea, put it in a spray bottle, and use it as a toner. Just make sure to refrigerate and re-brew every two days.

Ingredients
2 parts oatstraw
2 parts lemon balm
2 parts calendula
2 parts comfrey leaf
2 parts white willow
1 part yarrow
1 part lavender
1 part thyme

Instructions
1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a resealable bag.

We all know the importance of beauty sleep, but sometimes getting it in can be a bit tough. So, King and Till mixed up this relaxing concoction that can not only help you sleep but also has some good-for-you ingredients. "Horesetail is high in silica, which helps with hair and nail growth, and dandelion leaf is a non-potassium-depleting diuretic that helps clean the liver and helps to prevent hormonal acne," Till says. Just a heads-up, though: This tea does contain licorice root, which isn't great for people with high blood pressure. Feel free to omit that guy. Your tea will still taste delicious.

Ingredients
12 parts linden leaf and flower
1 part passionflower
6 parts skullcap
6 parts rose clover
6 parts rose petals
4 parts dandelion leaf
2 parts jasmine flowers
2 parts horsetail
2 parts licorice root
1 part rose hips

Instructions
1. Mix all of the ingredients in a resealable bag.

Walking On Sunshine
No 'poo ladies, you're going to love this one. This nutrient-packed hair rinse strengthens, cleanses, and aids in hair growth. "The peppermint is cooling, especially in the summer, and the rosemary increases circulation to help that hair grow," King says. "There's also marshmallow and comfrey root to help lock in moisture." Lemon peel adds a seriously healthy dose of shine. King and Till suggest using this with your apple cider vinegar to help combat the smell, but you can also use it as a rinse in conjunction with your regular shampoo and conditioner.

Ingredients
20 parts nettle
8 parts calendula
6 parts peppermint
6 parts rosemary
3 parts marshmallow root
3 parts lemon peel
2 parts lavender
1 part comfrey root

Instructions
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a resealable bag.

Peek-A-Boo
Look, we've all had those mornings where we aren't feeling our best. Whether we've got a cold, allergies, or a slight hangover, our eyes can go puffy and make us look a little worse for wear. That's where Peek-A-Boo comes in. "It can be used as an external eye compress, like we describe here, but it can also be drunk," Till says. "Chamomile is a strong anti-inflammatory, and hibiscus is astringent without being too drying." If you plan on drinking this instead of putting it on your eyes, you can add in some peppermint to help settle your stomach.

Ingredients
21 parts chamomile
13 parts rose
9 parts jasmine
4 parts elderflowers
4 parts fennel
3 parts hibiscus

Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in a resealable bag.
