Fielding explains that much like cucumbers, green tea can work to invigorate and clear your skin, while decreasing any swelling. "Green tea improves the skin complexion by reducing inflammation, healing blemishes and reducing the signs of scarring. Green tea bags can also help with puffy eyes and dark circles. It reduces the signs of aging by helping with sagging skin, sun spots, fine line and wrinkles," she notes.
