Green tea isn't just for drinking. It is a highly effective anti-aging ingredient that is rich in antioxidants, which fight free radical damage.
If you are not using antioxidants on your skin, you
are missing one of the most powerful
anti-aging sources available.
Green tea contains polyphenols a type of antioxidant that plays a significant role in keeping your skin looking and feeling young. The polyphenols in green tea work on improving your skin in 4 ways:
- Cell-to-cell signaling for the proper ongoing creation of collagen.
- Receptor sensitivity theorized to be the cause of hormonal and metabolic shifts resulting in aging.
- Inflammatory enzyme activity that decreases chronic inflammation; a state that forces the body into a persistent, but ultimately failed, cycle of repair.
- Gene regulation isn't just about the genes you were born with. How your genes function determines how you respond to free radicals and how well you fare the aging process.
Polyphenols are found in fruit, berries, some vegetables, red wine, olive oil and, of course green tea. Applied topically, polyphenols have been shown to reduce the signs of aging naturally.
- Studies on green tea and UV exposure show that green tea has photoprotective properties that inhibit UV radiation induced skin tumors.
- Green tea's inflammatory properties make it the perfect ingredient for sensitive, irritated skin and reactive skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne.
