Benefits of Green Tea

Green tea is derived from Camellia Sinensis which is a smaller-leafed variety native to China that is typically used to make green and white teas. It evolved as a shrub growing in sunny regions with drier, cooler climates. It has a high tolerance for cold and thrives in mountainous regions.

Key benefits include:

• Contains a high concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols and tea flavonoids known as catechins. These antioxidants help combat free radicals, protect skin from sun damage, fight wrinkles and keep the skin youthful.

• Naturally occurring antioxidants that remove toxins from the skin, detoxifying your pores and naturally cleansing your skin.

• Studies have been shown that the nutrients in green tea also assists in the prevention of skin cancer as it appears to reduce levels of cancerous proteins, blocking the reaction which tumors may grow.
