Green tea has many health benefits as many of you know. But what about for your skin? Green tea contains powerful antioxidants than can help delay aging. One of the powerful antioxidant being EGCG. It is even said to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Green tea is said to also help repair skin and even reverse aging due to its effect on skin cells. It is also a good supplement to sunscreen as well. It protects your skin from photo aging and photo damage caused by UV rays. It is very simple to make your own green tea toner. Just brew a cup of green tea like you would as if you were to drink it and let it cool, of course. Or you can just steep a tea bag in room temperature water for at least an hour. You can apply it with a cotton ball/pad. Leave in the refrigerator to help keep it fresh. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now. I haven’t seen any changes, but then again, I don’t have much problems to begin with. But I do agree with some users that green tea does not easily get absorbed into the skin. But I don’t think that causes any harm or clogs pores in anyway.
