One of the healthiest teas available is green tea. It is a fact. In fact, in a recent study, a researcher exposed hundreds of minnows to highly radioactive substances. You would have thought they would all get cancer and die. But, they didn’t die. How did they stay alive? They were living in green tea and not water.

Inundating minnows with x-rays may not sound so great to you. Probably not many people do. However, you have to like the results. This kind of news makes me want to bathe in green tea everyday or at least drink about a gallon or two a day.

More and more people are realizing the healing and restorative powers of green tea. As a result, the products containing green tea and green tea extracts are everywhere. Green tea extracts are contained in anything from candy to coffee. All this is in addition to all the other green tea blends available today.

Nevertheless, one are hasn’t caught on quite yet. The skin care arena. There is a lot of talk about it, but few companies are actually doing anything about it. What consumers do not realize is that the same things that make green tea great for your body and inner organs also make it an ideal for your largest organ: your skin.

Green tea is loaded with anti-oxidants. When consumed in liquid form, the antioxidants quickly absorb into your body and do advantageous things, like improve your immune system. You will notice an immediate difference in your skin when rubbed on your face.

Anti-oxidants are so good for your face and skin. For example, they will fight off free radicals. Free radicals float in the air and will launch an all out assault on your skin which will cause wrinkles. Free radicals have even been known to cause skin cancer.

However, green tea skin care does more than that. Green tea extracts serve to revitalize your skin. They will put inflammation at bay and will help with any skin problems caused by the environment or because of the wrong skin care products. Add a green tea product to your skincare regimen today. It doesn’t matter what it is, lotions or creams, serums or spritzers, you will be very happy that you added green tea to your skincare regimen.
