Tea is full of antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage from the environment, leading to wrinkles, saggy skin, dark spots, and more. So, it makes sense that it has great healing power for thin, tired undereye skin. For a budget remedy, stick some used green tea bags in the freezer for an hour or so. Take it out when it’s cool to the touch and place them on under eye skin. The caffeine and antioxidants in the tea help boost blood circulation and moisture retention in your skin.
