It's been hot, really hot the past few weeks. I am not one to worship the sun because the thought of having leather skin or worse, cancer really freaks me out. However, my kids love the pool & I don't mind lounging poolside (with a big bottle of 50+SPF) from time to time.
I found this great little pin from Petitelefant for an antioxidant mister. How simple and clever is this?
DIY mist for beach + pool
- 1-2 green tea bags
- 1-2 cups cold, cold water
- steep green tea in cold water for 2 hours
- add ice
- put in spray bottle
- keep cool
Every morning I drink hot green tea with ginger because of the powerful antioxidants. From anti-aging, weight loss, cancer, heart disease & acne the benefits of green tea are amazing.
I am not 100% sure the diluted tea did anything spritzed directly onto my skin, but I certainly felt refreshed. Besides, every little antioxidant counts, right? I keep my spray bottle in our fridge so that it is cold when I head to the pool. The thought has crossed my mind to stick it in the freezer, maybe next time?
NOTE: I do not recommend spraying on yourself if you are wearing whites because even though the mist is diluted, tea still stains - just a word to the wise.
