Green Tea Is Not Just for Beverages Anymore

Green tea has become one of the newest buzzwords of Western culture over the past decade. Green tea as a beverage, green tea in capsules, powder and other supplements, green tea in juices and rehydration drinks and now… green tea in cosmetics and skin care products. Why has green tea turned so many heads and become such a popular additive? Read on to discover the outstanding skin care benefits that green tea has to offer.

Green tea is harvested from the upper leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant and is native to the Asian countries. For centuries green tea has been known for its anti-aging effects, excellent antioxidant capacity and its overall health benefits. In fact, it has been touted that green tea has a beneficial effect on virtually everything from skin blemishes to cancers!

These amazing tea leaves are used in a wide array of skin care products from moisturizers to eye creams mainly because of their high antioxidant content. Antioxidants help in alleviating dry or oily skin by bringing the skin's natural moisture content back into balance. Additionally, to lower the risk of dangerous skin conditions ranging from melanoma to wrinkles, the skin should be well protected from harmful UV rays. Green tea, using its antioxidant properties, helps to protect the skin from free radical damage and aid in the healing of previously damaged skin.

As mentioned earlier, there are quite a number of green tea containing skin care products on the market today. Since not all are created equal, we have chosen three excellent products that will help you to get started in making your choice.
