Green is famous for anti-oxidants, they protect against free radical damage to the skin from our environment such as pollution which promotes aging.

 

“Secondly, green tea increases the effectiveness of sunscreen. It protects against photo-aging and photo-damage caused by ultraviolet rays, and also brings down inflammation caused by sun damage. Inflammation causes aging of the body systemically because it results from exposure to UV radiation, which ages the skin.”

 

Green tea may also prevent acne with it's natural anti-bacterial properties and balancing hormones that lead to break outs. When hormones are unbalanced – during puberty, pregnancy or menopause – they generate excess oil.

 

With an overload of oil, your hair follicles are clogged and bacteria happily grow, thus causing acne. Green tea will decrease your raging hormones and minimise your breakouts.

If you wish to include green tea in your skin care today it’s a good idea.
