Green Tea For Your Skin

It’s not a secret that green tea is great for digestive and cardiovascular health, but did you know it can also be used topically as a powerful skincare agent? Be on the lookout for green tea extracts as the next big ingredient in cosmeceutical products everywhere.

Where did it come from?

Green tea first originated over 3,000 years ago in the southwest area of China and was originally used for chewing, eating, and flavoring boiled drinking water. Oxidizing properties were discovered upon steaming the leaves in the 8th century. Green tea extracts have become one of the fastest growing herbal products in the world due to their versatile nature.

What can it do for my skin?
Green tea is packed with plant polyphenols that have been proven to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects when applied topically. What does that mean for your skin?
​
-This means calming of rashes
-Reduction of aging effects
-Reducing cell proliferation.

Green tea provides protection inside and out. It has been proven to protect against UV rays that can harm and age the skin. Even if you’re fresh back from the beach, green tea can be applied topically to reduce sunburn cells. This means green tea products are great for fun underneath the Houston sun.
