Green Tea & Your Skin

Green tea has bounteous vitamins and antioxidants so is often used for medicinal purposes. Its use in wellness has grown due to the theory that it can burn fat and increase metabolism. Green tea also helps to improve memory and increases brain function. As a skincare ingredient, green tea is excellent at unclogging pores and cleansing skin. It can help oily skin, acne and even ageing. Green tea is the antioxidant your skin needs.

National Hot Tea Day

January 12th is National Hot Tea Day. Tea is full of antioxidants which neutralise free radicals from the body’s cells. This can both heal and prevent cellular damage, restricting damage to the skin. Green tea is packed with polyphenols (EGCG) which are among the most powerful natural antioxidants available. These are known to have many health benefits. 

Skin Benefits of Green Tea 

There are specific compounds in green tea that benefit the skin.

Anti-Ageing Properties

This super drink has anti-ageing properties. Polyphenols in the tea can inhibit the activity of certain enzymes that have a destructive effect on lipids in the skin. Green tea can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The tannins may also help to shrink blood vessels which can improve dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.

Anti-Inflammatory

Green tea has natural anti-inflammatory effects. It can help to soothe irritation and redness. It has a powerful antibacterial agent for treating acne and unclogging pores. Polyphenols called catechins in green tea help the body fight against free radicals which can lead to inflammation so it can also help to treat rosacea. 

UV Protection

Studies suggest that polyphenols may have anti-cancer properties for the skin. Green tea can help sun protection by inhibiting DNA damage protecting from harmful UV rays. 

Hydration

Green tea can boost hydration, due to its natural moisturising benefits.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
