As winter deepens, the skin starts losing moisture. You feel the need to apply moisturiser repeatedly. While it softens the skin temporarily, it doesn’t restore the lost glow. To fix the problem, many people rush to buy expensive skincare products. But dermatologists say that instead of doing all that, simply sipping certain teas in winter can solve many skin issues.
Here’s what kind of teas you should drink for glowing skin.

Rose and Hibiscus Tea
Rose and hibiscus tea is a tonic for rough, dry skin. Hibiscus is often called “natural Botox.” It contains AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids). Rose petals, on the other hand, are rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Together, they help reduce winter skin inflammation.

Mint Green Tea
Mint green tea can refresh tired, dull skin. Green tea contains catechins—powerful antioxidants. Along with detoxifying the skin, it helps tighten open pores and reduce inflammation. Mint reduces skin discomfort and soothes irritation.
