Not Your Cup of Tea

For a boost, try soaking a washcloth in a cup of green tea. Apply to face for 2 to 5 minutes. Winter skin enjoys the antioxidants in green tea as much as you do.

Get it: Mighty Leaf Tea Tropical Green Tea at Whole Foods, Budding Flower Tea at Dean & Deluca, or Celestial Seasonings Authentic Green Tea.

BeautyFlash: Nanette Lepore Yard Sale & Brooklyn-ish Perfume

The creative director of Nanette Lepore is cleaning out her closet and selling her personal items at the Park Slope flea market today in Brooklyn. I bought a jacket and she gave me the cashmere sweater for free.

Also, down the street, nose your way into Back to the Land grocery store where they stock charming glass miniatures of Violet Water created by the locals at Herbal Alchemy Apothecary.
