1. Soothe sunburns
Black tea bags, when cooled and applied to sunburnt skin, offer relief thanks to their tannic acid content, which cools and promotes healing.
2. Treat minor burns
For small burns, apply a cold, used black tea bag to the area. The tannins help soothe pain and reduce inflammation.
3. Remove warts
Green tea is full of antioxidants. Placing a cooled used bag on a wart for 15 minutes twice daily may help it shrink and fall off within days.
