Green Tea.. Natural Skin Defender

 Benefits of Green Tea 

Tea is an ancient herbal drink known for its stimulant qualities largely attributed to caffeine. In modern times, it also became touted as a health food allegedly helpful in preventing or treating a variety of conditions, from heart disease and cancer, to gum disease, skin aging and weight loss. 

  How to Use Green Tea 

When applied to the skin, Green Tea has the ability to fight free  radicals and reduce skin inflammation, protecting the skin against sun damage. Therefore, Green Tea enhances sun protection when used in conjunction with a UV-shielding sunscreen. The calming effects of Green Tea soothe rosacea-prone, dry, and acne-prone skin, while the protective powers inhibit the signs of aging.

 Studies on Benefits of Green Tea 

There have been a number of encouraging studies of skin benefits of green tea. Both animal and human studies have credibly demonstrated that topical green tea formulations reduce sun damage. Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.

A small study showed benefits of 2% polyphenone (via a particular type of green tea extract) in papulopustular rosacea. In particular, a significant reduction in inflammatory lesion was reported compared to placebo.


What about wrinkles, skin sag and other signs of aging? Can green tea help? Considering their well-documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, topical green tea polyphenols are likely to slow down the development of some signs of aging.

TAKE DOCTORS ADVICE - EAT YOUR VEGETABLES

It's true.. if you want the key to good skin!
Listen to what researchers found about eating your veggies.

A Good Skin Diet:
-Rich in Green and Yellow Vegetables
-Moderately High in Fats

***Green and yellow vegetables can reduce skin aging.
In a study of 716 Japanese women, there was decreased presence of crow's feet because they linked it to a high consumption of these vegetables (on average these woman ate 9 ounces, or about 3 servings, daily.)
***A Diet high in fats can improve skin elasticity.
In this same study the woman's skin elasticity was linked with there high consumption of all types of fats (about 74 grams per day).
***Eating your vegetables can provide you SPF sun protection.  
These studies also indicated the antioxidants in green and yellow vegetables, particularly beta-carotene, can act as a mild sunscreen. This may explain the green and yellow vegetables effect on wrinkling! And eating a diet moderately high in fats improves "maintenance of collagen and elastic fibers."

With that said, don't go over eating all the fat and fatty foods in your kitchen. Because in this study, the participants with the highest beneficial-fat consumption still had lower intakes than most Americans. And other studies suggest that higher amounts may adversely affect skin health, the researchers write.

An earlier Australian study found that high intake of vegetables and olive oil may be protective against sun spots on the skin.
