We’ve had
Earl Grey tea, builder tea, green tea and now the healthiest brew to hit your
teapot is red tea. Oh yes, for the health junkies out there it should be just
your cup of char. Cultivated in the mountains of South Africa, Rooibos or the Red
Bush has been used for yonks as a therapeutic drink by South African tribes and
Bushmen. Boasting 50 times the antioxidant properties of Green Tea, it’s also
beneficial for natural skin therapy. Taking the goodness off the tea table, like green tea, it has been poured into beauty products.
I don’t
normally use soap. I use a cleanser on my face usually wiped off with a muslin
cloth and a shower or bath gel for my body, but I have really fallen
for this Red Tea cleansing face & body bar. Derived from natural African red
tea, it’s a natural vegetable soap with the protective antioxidant benefits as
well as moisturising properties. Surprisingly it doesn’t leave my skin feeling
high and dry – when I was soap user back in the day, my skin always used to
feel tight after rinsing, and it smells gorgeous rather than highly fragranced.
Pure essential oils of orange, lime, lavender and rose makes for a luxurious soap
story.
