(2) Relieve sunburn pain – Skin that has been sunburned will become red, swollen and sore. Soak the tea residue in ice water for a while, after which apply it to the sunburn wound to reduce the pain.

The dry tea leaves are particularly absorbent and can be put into a wardrobe or kitchen to absorb moisture and prevent mold and mildew.

In this way, the remaining tea leaves can be fully utilized, turning the used tea leaf residues into a treasure.
