You must have wondered what white tea is while we have consumed chiefly black and green tea. Well, white tea is also an herbal product that does wonders for our skin. Let’s find out how we can use it.
Camellia sinensis, aka white tea, is found in Asia, which has been used as a tea and topical skincare product. It is famous for its skin-soothing and antimicrobial properties. To extract its benefits, you can drink it or use its skincare products. It is widely available in lotions, serums, face wash, cleansers, face masks or shampoos.
White tea is abundant in catechins. It has a higher amount of catechin than any other tea. Catechin is an antioxidant. That’s why it keeps your skin younger, protects from damage and reduces oxidative stress. This oxidative stress is the cause of a number of unwanted skin conditions, such as skin cancer, wrinkles, etc.
White tea is also known for preventing damage to collagen and elastin, which will help to keep your skin younger-looking.
