Green Tea Description:
Green tea leaves or green tea extract is derived from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Green tea is the least processed true teas, allowing it to retain a vast amount of benefits. It contains polyphenols which possess anti-ageing benefits as they protect against free radicals that promote premature ageing by reducing fine lines and shielding from pollution. Green Tea contains the antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) that speeds up cell turnover and encourages regrowth in damaged hair follicles. Green tea is packed with vitamin B and E which help to maintain collagen production, increase skin elasticity, and promote cell regeneration. Green tea is an effective acne treatment as it reduces pores, calms inflammation and gets rid of breakouts thanks to anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
