As requested by anjali06here are some herbal teas that help you maintain great skin & hair!

Lavender Tea - This tea is wonderful for reducing stress induced aging and damage to the skin or hair. It’s naturally calming properties help to relax your mind & body which helps dampen down damage caused by stress hormones. If you’re often busy, anxious, stressed or run down then Lavender tea may be of help to you!

Chamomile Tea - A tea that’s great for aiding your quest for restorative sleep. A cup or two of this before bed will help you relax at night and get the ‘beauty sleep’ your body needs to repair itself.

Green Tea - A brilliant drink to refresh you during the day, it’s great at boosting the immune system but overall it’s main benefit is it’s anti-oxidant quantity. Anti-oxidants reduce oxidative stress on cells, this oxidative stress is massively responsible for our aging especially to our hair and skin but also a cause of many diseases such as Cancer due to the chronic inflammation it leads to. 

Be careful not to drink it in excess though as it’s high caffeine content can lead to nervousness and effect those who have caffeine sensitivity such as pregnant women.

It can also be used as a hair rinse or face wash, it’s great for those with dry hair or skin!

Black Tea - If you have sore, dry skin then you can apply black tea to it once it has steeped and cooled right down. You can leave it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect, this tea helps to reduce wrinkles and draws toxins out.

Ginger Tea - This tea helps to boost blood circulation which helps your cells get all the oxygen and fuel they need to perform at their best. This can have many benefits, such as increasing blood flow to the scalp which improves your hair’s health. Drinking this can also help dampen down inflammation which can reduce ‘puffyness’. A great tea if you are getting older as the aging process starts to speed up as our circulation slows down.

Redbush/Rooibos Tea - If you want to drink a refreshing and very pure, clean tea then this may be to your preference. Drunk alone it has a sweeter taste than Black Tea and a slightly thicker feel to it but if you add milk (plant-based also) it tastes very similar to a typical English Breakfast Tea! 

So if you absolutely love English Breakfast Tea but want the benefits of herbal/other teas then you can drink Redbush to get both!

It has even more anti-oxidants than Green Tea (Polyphenols & Flavonoids) and is naturally caffeine free so there is less potential problems if you drink more than 3-5 cups a day.
