The green tea leaves are a mild sloughing agent. The comfrey or calendula add a soothing touch. The result? Silky skin.

 

1 cup loose leaf green tea

1 cup calendula or comfrey

(available at health food stores)

4 to 6 drops rose essential oil

 

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and fill sachets made from loosely woven 100% cotton gauze (available at craft stores).

Tie tops with string or ribbon. To use, hold under the running tap of a tub until tub is half full, and squeeze several times to release the fragrance.

 

Rub the tea bag gently over your body, paying special attention to elbows and knees and any other rough spots.

 

Allow the bag to float in the tub to add its skin-softening properties to the waters.
