Natural Skin Care with Green Tea
Chinese herbal practice is very well known for its natural
ingredients and its numerous organic products. One of the wonders of
Chinese health practice is green tea. Through the years, the habit
of drinking green tea has become popular from the mainland to many
parts of the world. Because of its known health benefits, demand for
the beverage has significantly risen. Now, there are studies that
link natural skincare benefits from consumption of green tea.
In China and other Asian countries like Japan, Thailand and India,
green tea has been found to be effective in having several medicinal
properties. Particularly, the tea has been used to aid digestion and
help heal wounds. While modern medicine is still finding proofs for
the therapeutic claims for green tea, some people readily accept the
known health benefits based on hundreds of years of experience and
observations.
Many traditional Chinese skincare products now have green tea as an
active ingredient to them. There are creams, lotions and beauty
preparations that are known to have green tea extracts in them.
These skincare and beauty products also have antioxidants and
vitamins E, C and A added to serve as natural preservatives. What is
more? These natural products are said to be more effective because
the good effects of green tea are matched by the natural good
effects of the other nutrients. Currently, there are many
manufacturers that are focusing on green tea because the natural
herbal beverage has been found to have better and more effective
skincare benefits.
There are new findings of studies showing green tea as having
additional skincare properties. For one, the active ingredients in
the beverage are said to be effective in offsetting the harmful
impact of skin damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun. Experiments
using several kinds of animals have established that green tea
formulations help reduce sun damage to the skin. The radicals and
natural properties of the beverage reduce inflammation and help
serve as blockage to screen out the damaging properties of sun rays.
Experts advise that you drink green tea or use products with it
along with the regular use and application of your usual sun block
protection.
No wonder, green tea is starting to be present everywhere. Now, you
can find green tea in modern cold beverages. Several soft drink
manufacturers are developing drinks based on green tea as a possible
good replacement for the ever popular soft drinks and fruit juices.
There are green tea beverages that have different and truly
interesting flavors. Green tea used to be served hot and in cups.
Now, they can be iced cold and can be enjoyed anytime of the day or
even as a refreshment during a very hot summer day.
Recommended amount of green tea for it to function as a natural
skincare regimen varies. Dermatologists and herbal medicine
practitioners would endorse about two to three cups a day, while
traditional Chinese culture advises people to have about eight cups
each day.
