Green tea is so good for you. It is true. Actually, there was a study recently where a researcher exposed minnows to extremely radioactive substances. They all should have gotten cancer and died within days. Amazingly, they survived. What was the reason? They were living in green tea and not water.

This may not sound like such a humane idea. Probably not many people do. However, you have to like the results. Information like this makes me want to fill the bath tub with green tea or maybe drink a gallon a day.

More and more people are realizing the healing and restorative powers of green tea. This is resulting in more products containing green tea and green tea extracts. Green tea extracts are contained in anything from candy to coffee. That is just in addition to the numerous products that have green tea extracts in them.

However, there is an area that has not quite caught on yet. That is the skin care area. There is a lot of talk about it, but few companies are actually doing anything about it. But what consumers don’t understand is that the things that make green tea wonderful for your body and insides also makes it great for your skin.

Green tea is loaded with anti-oxidants. Green tea will even enhance your immune system when you drink it. However, when you rub it on your face, those anti-oxidants immediately start defending your exterior as well.

Your skin will love anti oxidants. They keep free radicals away from you. These highly charged molecules are in the air and can potentially cause wrinkles in your skin. At times, they will cause so much damage to the skin cells that they will become cancerous.

Green tea skin care does more than you are aware of. The green tea extracts will actually help to revitalize your skin. They ease inflammation and smooth out discolorations caused by the environment or using the wrong skin care products. Adding a green tea product to your daily skin care regimen could do you good. Whether it is a lotion, a wrinkle cream, a serum or a spritzer, you will soon be glad that you made green tea a priority in your beauty regimen.
