Relax tired eyes

After enjoying a cup of tea, squeeze out the excess liquid from the used tea bags and let them cool slightly in the refrigerator. When they are cool, place the bags on your closed eyelids and relax for 10-15 minutes. The natural antioxidants and tannins contained in the tea will help reduce puffiness and soothe your eyes, leaving them feeling fresh and awake.

Remove unpleasant odors from shoes

Tea bags can also be useful for removing bad odors from shoes. Let them dry completely and then put them in your shoes overnight. The tea bags will effectively absorb any unpleasant odors, and your shoes will smell fresh and clean in the morning. This simple trick is a great alternative to commercial sprays or chemical odor removers.
