Fights acne
Catechins in green tea are known to be antibacterial agents that have the power to put up a strong fight against acne-causing bacteria. They help regulate hormonal imbalances in the body, which is one of the prime monsters behind acne. This is why drinking green tea everyday will be beneficial to your beauty routine.
Improves complexion
Green tea is filled with antioxidants and its slightly abrasive texture makes it a perfect exfoliant for our skin. This means it has the power to banish dead cells and improve your skin tone. Moreover, tannins found in green tea help shrink blood vessels under your eyes helping your dark circles turn lighter.
We suggest you take about 100 gms of green tea and mix it with lemon juice. Apply this pack on your face and leave it on for about 20 mins before washing off.
Works as a toner
The reason we’re suggesting green tea as a natural toner for your skin is because it draws out impurities and reduces large pores that are often a sign of acne-prone skin or even ageing.
Just brew two cups of green tea and allow it to cool. Add a few drops of any essential oil of your choice and put this solution in a spray bottle. Spray this twice daily on your face for refreshed and rejuvenated skin.
Fights signs of ageing
We bet you didn't know that green tea has anti-ageing powers. The antioxidants in the skin reduce sagging and treat wrinkles. Moreover, the polyphenols in the green tea also neutralise free radicals that are known to age your skin.
