Skin Care
Skin is the largest organ of the body. It reflects the internal health of the body on the outside. The healthier your body is, the healthier and more blemish free your skin will be.
Teas are full of antioxidants and nutrients that your skin needs to maintain its youthful agility. Teas are a delicious way to obtain your skin-loving nutrients while getting a hydration boost.
More and more cosmetic companies are taking advantage of the nutrients in tea and incorporating them into their products. White tea has become a common ingredient of many beauty products because of its antiaging properties. The antioxidants in white and green tea may have an effect on acne, and in some cases, have been shown to work as well as a 4% solution of the much harsher benzoyl peroxide. More generally speaking, tea is an inhibitor of skin disorders.
The polyphenol in tea mainly responsible for the prevention of cancer formation is epigallocatechin–3–gallate(EGCG). When applied to skin, EGCG prevents UVB–induced oxidative stress and suppression of the immune system.
In this section, you will find teas that can help you drink your way to an amazing radiant skin.
