We all know green tea is good for weight loss, but did you know that it also has skincare properties?
It’s true that green tea has been a hot topic in skin care for a long time.
What is green tea?
Camellia sinensis leaves are used to make green tea.
To keep the natural taste and prevent oxidation they are cooked right away after plucking and slightly wilting the leaves.
Green tea has health advantages when consumed or applied to the skin.
Let’s see how green tea can be used to get favorable results.
Anti-inflammatory properties are present:
It is popular for its anti-inflammatory qualities, which are due to its high level of catechins, a type of polyphenol. It catechins minimize the skin irritation, burning or redness and bloating.
It also has moisturizing components that penetrate quickly into your skin, resulting in less itchiness and unbelievably soothing effects.
Acne treatment:
It has potent antibacterial characteristics which can be used to treat acne and open up clogged pores. It polyphenols attack bacterial membranes and combat infections, making it an effective treatment for preventing growth of acne causing bacteria. It also aids in the elimination of inflammation caused by bacteria that will lead to a smooth, soft and fresh skin.
It contributes to the skin’s health:
Vitamin B2 and vitamin E are also found in green tea which are crucial for maintaining skin’s health. B2 is necessary for preserving collagen amounts in the skin’s youthfulness and suppleness.
