What benefits does green tea extract offer to your skin care routine ?
A study published in the Allure Magazine reported that people who applied a cream that contained EGCG (an antioxidant found in green tea) on their skin for 8 weeks, reported a 80 – 90% reduction in their breakouts and acne issues. Another study that appeared in the Journal of Applied Oral Science showed that EGCG was effective against the Streptococcus mutans bacteria found in the mouth. This means that green tea offers exciting antibacterial production against damaging dental bacteria. To make things clearer, some research examines the specific skin benefits of green tea in greater details.

Free radical fighter – Green tea contains a number of antioxidants known as catechins that are very useful in preventing free radical damage.

Flushes out your toxins – Green tea is very effective in flushing out the harmful toxins from your body. It also acts as a diuretic and assists the body to get rid of the extra fluid that it is not using.

Natural sunscreen – Green tea acts as a natural sunscreen against the damaging UV rays of the sun. This doesn’t mean that you can skip out on those sunscreens. Although, adding green tea into your routine should allow you to enjoy enhanced sun protection, thereby preventing the formation of lines and wrinkles.
