Green Tea For Health & Beauty
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant and super hero ingredient in some of our most popular formulas. Green tea extract, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, has been used for centuries in Asian health and beauty formulas. The healing powers of this plant are found in the leaves and buds, which contain potent bioactives called polyphenols or catechins.
As a powerful antioxidant, green tea extract helps protect the skin from environmental stressors that can lead to premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe and calm irritated skin, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin. Additionally, green tea extract can help reduce oiliness and control acne, making it a perfect choice for acne-prone skin.
To maximize the benefits of green tea for skin, try drinking two to three cups of green tea each day to boost energy and immune function. Apply cooled brewed tea to your favorite face masque and apply twice per week. Cover they eyes with cooled (strained) green tea bags while your face masque dries to reduce swelling and puffiness around the eye area. Use other topical solutions that include green tea like our Daily Greens Whipped Face Cream, Daily Fruit Balancing Toner, and Daily Fruit Balancing Facial Oil.
