Some people use to refrigerate used tea bags in order to place them on their eyes to reduce redness, puffiness, irritation, and to help them to decrease dark circles. Cold damp tea bags compressed on sunburns, bruises, bee stings, mosquito bites, and cold sores soothes the area, helps to reduce inflammation, and even promotes healing.
Dry tea bags can be also placed overnight inside of smelly shoes to deodorize and absorb any moisture. Tea's deodorizing aspects also work just as well in the refrigerator. Just a few bags placed inside and you can skip the baking soda for good.
