Green Tea: The Amazing Anti-Ager!
It’s been proven that drinking green tea has some amazing health benefits. But did you know that it can also work wonders for your skin? Perhaps the most touted benefit of green tea is its ability to fight the signs of aging. Because it is packed with antioxidants and natural astringents, green tea tightens pores and increases blood flow. This helps to minimize the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes. Its high polyphenol content fights free radicals, preventing and repairing damage like age spots, wrinkles, and sun damage.

How to use it
Aside from drinking it, you can concentrate the benefits of green tea to your skin. Cut open a tea bag and mix the contents with cleanser, honey, or a little water to create a paste. Then, apply this mixture directly to your skin. If you’re short on time, you can also run hot water over the tea bag, squeeze it, and spread the contents onto your skin. Follow this by rinsing with cool water. You can even make a cup of green tea, let it cool, and splash your face with it. Again, rinse with cool water, and then pat dry.Tea Tree: The Blemish Buster!
