The Skin Bebefits of Green Tea Extract:

Green tea extract is associated with several skin benefits. Green tea extract is derived from

leaves of Camellia sinensis. Green tea extract is naturally rich in antioxidants, which has a

cell-protecting function as well. It’s a strong antioxidant effect that protects the skin from

the damaging effect of free radicals. Green tea extract also contains the Methylxanthines that

stimulates skin microcirculation and therefore positively influence the tone and health of the skin.

Green tea extract can actually decrease wrinkles and also makes you look younger. It is useful to

incorporate green tea extract into your skin care product to possibly slow down skin aging.

Green tea extract is a good anti-inflammatory agent thereby reducing inflammation in the skin,

and most importantly having an inhibitory action on collagenase (a collagen-reducing enzyme

that breaks down collagen). Since green tea extract helps to inhibit collagenase, the topical use

of green tea helps to promote the health and quantity of collagen, thereby maintaining a firm and

elastic skin. In one clinical study is was shown that the skin had measurably more elastic tissue

content after continuous application of a product containing green tea extract.

Green tea extract appears to exert a sun protective effect by quenching free radicals and reducing

inflammation. Therefore, it could apply a green tea formula under the sunscreen. It is best to

combine green tea extract with zinc oxide-based sunscreens because zinc oxide is chemically

inert and should not react with green tea extract.

In addition, you can enjoy whether drinking green tea or applying directly to your skin that very

good with health and skin benefits. Even the leaves can be used as the gentle scrubs that give

your skin a healthy glow.
