Green tea contains powerful antioxidants ingredients making it a potent ingredient that combats signs of aging when applied to your skin or by drinking it.
Green tea is made from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant and contains several vitamins, like Vitamin E, which helps with cell turnover, regeneration and to strengthen the skin´s natural barrier. Vitamin B-2 helps to repair skin cells and to maintain collagen levels in the skin. Collagen improves skin firmness and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
Green tea contains polyphenols and catechin, both great for your skin. The major polyphenolic compound present in green tea is EGCG which has showed a wide range of benefits and therapeutics properties to protect the skin and immune system support
EGCG has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which fight skin inflammation, reducing irritation and redness. It is also great for unclogging pores and cleansing skin thoroughly because of its antibacterial properties. EGCG is anti-androgenic, making it useful for reducing oily sebum excretions in the skin. By reducing sebum, EGCG can slow or even stop the development of acne.
While research is still ongoing, there has been one study that found that products with green tea extract can help to repair sun damaged skin.
