Collection: White Tea

Like green tea, white tea is one of the most natural ways to improve the appearance of skin. It’s considered a “true tea,” along with green tea, black tea and oolong tea, which means that it’s minimally processed so it retains the most beneficial health compounds. White tea has many of the same benefits as green tea, (link to the green tea page) such as high concentrations of antioxidants that combat symptoms of premature aging. It can also be beneficial for people who suffer from skin conditions such as rosacea and psoriasis because it contains epigallocatechin (EGCG), an antioxidant that’s effective in rejuvenating dying skin cells.

White tea is packed with high amounts of phenols, which can strengthen both collagen and elastin for a smoother, more youthful appearance to skin. It can also help restore the skin’s natural immunity to oxidation stress that results from prolonged exposure to the sun.
