you must be bewildered or stumped, or probably you're thinking "I ain't applying edible stuff on my face, it's just a waste of teabags!"(That is what exactly my boyfriend slams at me each time i start my facial routine!). Trust me u better demit all this I call "gibberish presumptions". dont noe the fact? don't worry, JtV is here!
All the info below is certified years of years of research by scientist till today (Whoooohhhh...!)
Did u Know?
Over the past decade, green tea has developed quite a reputation as a “health food,” as researchers have uncovered a variety of health benefits.
You may be aware that it is good for your body. But do you know that it also shows up as a key ingredient in a variety of skin and hair care products? (Gotchaa, and u were saying? waste of food?) There is scientific research showing that green tea has a variety of beneficial properties when used topically.
Clinical evidence suggests that green tea is packed with health and beauty benefits that you can enjoy whether drinking it or applying directly to your skin. Even the leaves can be used as a gentle exfoliant, guaranteed to give your skin a healthy glow.
Recent research shows that green tea extract is naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radicals - naturally occurring particles in the body associated with accelerated ageing and an increased risk of major diseases. Exposure to pollution, smoking and excess sunlight increases the number of free radicals in the blood, but the potent antioxidants found in green tea add strong weight to the belief that green tea not only promotes good health but also makes you look younger.
You can make it at home!!!
