Green Tea for Beautiful Skin
1. Fights Free Radicals
Green tea contains an army of potent Antioxidants called Catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals. According to AmazingGreenTea.com:
Free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron – they are inherently unstable, and always trying to steal an electron from the other molecules around them. They can form in your skin for a variety of reasons, including exposure to toxins. However, the most common cause of free radicals in skin cells is UV radiation from sunlight.
2. Rejuvenates Old Skin Cells
Green Tea has been shown to enhance the appearance of old, dying skin cells that are at the end of their life cycle. When used consistently, it can help increase skin elasticity and reduce the overall appearance of lines and wrinkles.
3. Reduces Inflammation
Green Tea is has a powerful Anti-inflammatory effect, making it an ideal ingredient for those with sensitive, red and irritated skin.
4. Soothes Acne and Lightens Skin
Catchecins are naturally Antibacterial, offering an alternative to sythentic antibac skin treatments, and can even help reduce the appearance of discolouration.
