Green Tea has many general health benefits due to its antioxidants, amino acids and other naturally occurring nutrients. But did you know Green Tea can provide superior benefits for your skin when applied topically?

Green tea is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG.) With these properties, green tea extract has been shown to improve skin barrier functions, serve as antioxidant protection and boost sun protection.

The large amount of polyphenols in green tea helps slow down the aging process as well as reduce inflammation. Green tea extract naturally contains some caffeine, a known vasoconstrictor, which can help reduce puffiness of dark circles and bloating of the face when applied topically.

Green tea also has astringent properties which aids in the reduction of sebum production and has antibacterial agents due to its polyphenols. This, combined with its anti inflammatory properties, makes it a fantastic ingredient for acne prone skin and other inflammatory skin conditions.
