Collection: Green Tea

Green tea is one of the most natural ways to improve the appearance of skin. It’s considered a “true tea,” along with white tea, black tea and oolong tea, which means that it’s minimally processed so it retains the most beneficial health compounds. We all know green tea for its impressive benefits for our internal health, but it’s equally as beneficial for our skin health too! Green tea contains high concentrations of antioxidants that help combat free radicals, which cause premature aging issues on our skin like fine lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation. It even contains a special antioxidant called epigallocatechin (EGCG) that is effective in rejuvenating dying skin cells, giving dull skin a healthier glow. But it doesn’t stop there ...

This powerhouse tea also contains tannins, which shrink pores (so they clog less often) and regulate sebum (the skin’s naturally produced oil), helping to minimize oil production in skin cells. Yes, green tea essentially acts as a natural skin toner! It’s also good at treating acne because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and contains moderate amounts of caffeine, which shrinks blood vessels to help reduce puffiness and redness
