May is the month of rebirth and renewal, and what better time to focus on natural beauty? With flowers blooming all around us, it's the perfect opportunity to harness the power of these natural remedies. Many of the flowers in bloom are packed with compounds that benefit the skin, and we love incorporating them into our tea blends for an inside-out approach to natural beauty. In fact, some of these teas can even be used topically as facial rinses to tone the skin and reduce the signs of aging, thanks to their antioxidant properties. So let's celebrate this beautiful season and give ourselves a natural beauty boost with the power of flowers!
