The Secret to Green Tea Skincare

Green tea is packed with antioxidants, especially catechins (yep, sounds fancy, but it’s just a powerful antioxidant) that help fight free radicals—those pesky little guys that can age your skin prematurely. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it perfect for calming irritation and redness. Plus, it helps protect your skin from UV damage, keeping it youthful and glowing.

Top Skin Benefits of Green Tea:

• Fights Acne: Green tea’s natural antimicrobial properties help control oil and bacteria, reducing acne breakouts.

• Soothes Skin: Whether you’ve got redness or irritation, green tea can calm your skin and reduce puffiness (say goodbye to under-eye bags!). 

• Anti-Aging: The antioxidants in green tea help fight fine lines and wrinkles, keeping your skin looking fresh and young.

• Hydrates: It’s also super hydrating, leaving your skin soft and moisturized without feeling greasy.

How to Use Green Tea in Your Skincare Routine:

1. DIY Green Tea Face Mask
   Mix a little green tea with honey and aloe vera for a calming, hydrating face mask. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. If you'd like an all natural mask that's a bit more convenient then try out Teami's Green Tea Detox Mask! 

2. Green Tea Toner
   Brew some green tea, let it cool, and use it as a natural toner. It’ll balance your skin and help reduce excess oil. 

3. Green Tea Scrub
   For a gentle exfoliation, mix ground green tea with a bit of coconut oil and scrub away dead skin cells. You’ll get a glow in no time! Want something more convenient? Try out our Green Tea Scrub made with all natural ingredients and organic green tea.

4. Green Tea Eye Pads
   Put used green tea bags in the fridge, then place them on your eyes for a quick refresh. They’ll help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
