    Packed with antioxidants, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, green tea is the healthiest kind of tea available. Not only this healthy drink is good for your overall health, but it is also beneficial for maintaining your skin health. It can reduce skin irritation, acne, skin swelling, and redness and make your skin soft and glowing. Here are five benefits of green tea for your skin.

    It helps to treat acne

    Green tea is enriched with an essential compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) which has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This helps to treat oily skin that is prone to acne. The polyphenols in green tea control the growth of harmful bacteria that can lead to acne. According to research, these polyphenols in green tea have the power to reduce acne by decreasing the production of sebum.

    Protects skin from premature aging

    Green tea is extremely effective in slowing down the aging process and making your skin elastic and healthy. Vitamin B2 in green tea maintains collagen levels in your skin which improves skin firmness and makes it more youthful. According to a 2003 study, EGCG in green tea helps to repair and regenerate dying skin cells. This eliminates aging signs and makes your skin healthy.

    Hydrates and moisturizes your skin

    Enriched with vitamin E and an amino acid called L-Theanine, green tea is great for nourishing and hydrating your skin and making it soft, supple, and glowing. It also controls excess sebum production and balances the natural oils in your skin. According to a study, participants who applied green tea extract on their forearms for 15-30 days experienced increased skin moisture.

    Can reduce under-eye puffiness

    Green tea is a great natural remedy for treating under-eye puffiness or swelling around the eyes. The caffeine in green tea constricts the blood vessels in the sensitive tissue and makes the skin taut. Squeeze the used green tea bags to drain excess water. Refrigerate the bags for 10-20 minutes. Place the tea bags on your eyes for 30 minutes for instant refreshment.

    Reduces skin redness and irritation

    The anti-inflammatory properties of green tea due to its high amount of polyphenols are extremely effective in reducing skin irritation, swelling, and redness. This makes your skin clear, radiant, and soft. It is also effective in soothing sunburns, and minor cuts. Green tea also works well for reducing skin itchiness and irritation caused by dermatological conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
