Green Tea use in skin care

The active components of green tea are micro-nutrients called polyphenols.
Polyphenols are:

-micronutrients that naturally occur in plants.
-Polyphenols’ antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
-Polyphenols naturally protect plants from the strong, damaging UV rays of the sun.

Green tea (and polyphenols) have a plethora of benefits for the skin, and are a powerhouse of a skincare ingredient through correcting and protecting your skin.

One of green tea’s most notable attributes is polyphenols’ ability to manage and reduce sebum by lowering lipid levels- making it a valuable ingredient for oil and acne prone skin and prevent breakouts.

Green tea extract also has been known to improve moisture retention-making your moisturizer more effective, improving your skin texture, and evening redness.

Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties soothe inflammation- such as acne, eczema, and chronic dryness.

Green tea combats signs of aging such as hyperpigmentation and sunspots, and boost firmness to treat fine lines and wrinkles (making it very popular in anti aging products).

Green tea also contains caffeine known to reduce puffiness and shrinking blood vessels, improving skin texture and complexion.
