Here’s 5 Reasons You Should Start Putting Green Tea On Your Face:

Green tea not only removes dead skin cells, it rejuvenates the dying ones by utilizing the slightly abrasive texture of dry green tea leaves. This fantastic exfoliator will also help to remove excess oil and pollutants, exposing the cleansed and renewed skin underneath.

2. Sun Protection

Drinking green tea has been shown in several scientific studies to protect the skin and neutralize the damage done by exposure to UV rays.

There was a study done in which reports, the equivalent of two cups of green tea a day can reduce both the inflammation and skin redness associated with sun exposure.

3. Oily Skin Treatment

Tannins in green tea act as an astringent which shrinks pores. Green tea also helps to reduce the production of sebum (the skin’s natural oil) by the glands in each pore. Making it a much better solution than harsh conventional treatments for those with oily skin, which only get the job done by removing excess oil, rather than by reducing production.

4. Anti-Aging

Green Tea contains antioxidants which are our most powerful weapon in the fight against aging, with these particular classes of antioxidants – known as catechins – being especially potent. The catechin EGCG is especially beneficial and makes up a large percentage of the catechins in green tea. EGCG has been found in research to reactivate dying skin cells!

Other antioxidants in Green Tea also help prevent free radical damage and encourage healing of cells – all of which make it anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, sun protector.

5. Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory
