Green tea may have many benefits for the skin


RX for brown skin for African American skin care

 


Most women want to keep their skin young and healthy-looking for as long as possible. Using the right African American skin care products can help reduce the signs of aging, but you want to make sure you get one with the right ingredients. Recently, StyleList.com reported on one ingredient that you may want to look for in your cosmetics if you want to look young and fresh - green tea. 


Green tea has been proven to have multiple health benefits, and now it has been shown to help the skin as well. The news source spoke to dermatologist Heather Woolery-Lloyd, about how this substance works.


"A botanical antioxidant. The nutrients in green tea neutralize free radicals that damage cells and tissue, which in turn slows down the aging process. While you can reap the benefits by drinking green tea, Woolery-Lloyd advises applying it topically," according to StyleList.


SmartSkinCare.com states that studies have also found that green tea may protect against sun damage, this suggests that a product that contains both green tea and SPF would be particularly effective.
