Ingredient of the Week - Green Tea!

Tea is considered the most consumed beverage in the world, trailing just behind water. Although 80 percent of tea consumed worldwide is black tea, 20 percent is that of green tea. Green tea, considered one of the healthiest beverages on the planet, has been consumed and recognised for its benefits for centuries. Native to China and India, Green Tea was used in traditional Chinese and Indian Medicine to improve the heart, mental health, heal wounds, control bleeding, regulate body temperature and help digestion. It is made from unfermented leaves, containing the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols.

Although commonly recognised in the beverage form, it seems you don’t have to drink the tea solely to reap its benefits. Green Tea is an ideal ingredient in beauty and skincare and those with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as psoriasis and rosacea which are caused by inflammation may benefit the most. It has long been used for its cooling benefits, to reduce inflammation, reduce itching and tackling blemishes.

Green Tea is known to soothe, heal and calm sunburnt skin when applied directly to the affected areas. It is also perfect for easing tired or puffy eyes and eliminating and targeting dark circles around the area. Rich in antioxidants, it detoxifies, cleanses, refreshes, soothes and hydrates the skin. It soothes both the skin and body making it ideal for a Natural Body Lotion. Green Tea clears the mind, creating the feeling of inner peace, balance, serenity and is extremely therapeutic. With such relaxation and purity, using skincare containing Green Tea makes for the perfect bedtime/nighttime routine allowing for peace and calm to allow for a great night sleep.
