5 benefits of Green Tea For Skin
A common beverage for Japanese monks, green tea slowly gained popularity for the following benefits:
- Reduces acne
- Unclogs pores
- Increases elasticity
- Reduces dark circles
- Prevents premature signs of ageing
Acne is one of the primary skincare concerns in today’s polluted and dirt-ridden environment. Green tea possess anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce the swelling and fight of further infection.
Another reason for acne is clogged, sebum filled pores. EGCG helps reduce the production of excessive sebum thereby reducing the chances of clogged pores and acne.
Rich in Vitamins B12 and E, it effectively increases collagen production and helps retain the structure and elasticity of the skin. This keeps your face firm and healthy.
Dark circles primarily appear because of enlargement of blood vessels under the eye. Green tea is also rich in caffeine and tannins which help shrink the blood vessels and promote healthier, tighter skin.
Younger looking skin is a dream for many. The EGCG in green tea helps us fulfil this very dream with ease. The anti-oxidants and vitamins present boost skin health as well. Green tea tightens the skin and reduces fine lines to reduce signs of ageing.
