Is Green Tea Skin Care Just Another Fad?

Green tea has been considered one of the more potent healers for over four thousand years in Asian medicine .You may be aware that it is good for your body as a tasty drink. But do you know that it also shows up as a key ingredient in a variety of skin and hair care products? There is research showing that green tea has a variety of beneficial properties when used topically and in this blog we hope to show you some of these benefits to your skin and why we think that green tea skin care is not just another fad.

How is Green Tea Processed?

Green teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, native to Asia, but can be found all over the world. It can be processed into extract formulas. The leaves used in green tea skincare products are not fermented at all. The leaves are steamed and then rolled and dried. It is a very simple process that leads to the leaves retaining much of their healing properties. This process leaves the Epigallocatechin Gallate (a type of catechins), also known as EGCg present in the processed tea. Epigallocatechin Gallate is one of the important properties found in this herb and this property could be lost during the fermenting process that takes place with the black type of herb.

Why is Green Tea So Good for Skin?

 

Fight Free Radicals

Green tea contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals.

Free radicals can form in your skin for a variety of reasons, including exposure to toxins. However, the most common cause of free radicals in skin cells is UV radiation from sunlight, which causes up to 90% of all signs of premature aging.

Neutralize UV Light

In several studies, green tea extract was shown to neutralize the damage done by exposure to UV rays.

 Since exposure to sunlight is a major factor that ages the skin, it is reasonable to assume that green tea cream could help prevent premature aging.

 No one is advocating giving up your sunscreen in favor of green tea just yet, but green tea can definitely help enhance its effectiveness.

Fight Inflammation

Green tea also has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. If your skin is very sensitive and often red, products containing green tea extract may help soothe it.

Sooth Acne and Lighten Skin

 Everyone has experienced a bad case of acne at least once in their lives - usually at the worst possible time.

 In addition to the benefits listed above, green tea catechins are anti-bacterial and can decrease hormone activity. This means green tea is an effective way to control acne, without the unpleasant side effects of benzoyl peroxide-based creams.

It’s really hard to summarize the benefits of green tea in one paragraph – you simply need to try it for yourself and see why so many people are praising it day after day.

Say Good Bye to Pimples

Pimples are not just the problem of teenagers; they can occur in any person between the age of 10 and 40. Pimples usually occur when the sebaceous glands become active during puberty. In this blog we hope to show you how you can help treat your pimples by using our natural Konjac sponges and eventually say good bye to pimples.

What are the causes of pimples?

The sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, exist inside the pores of our skin. The outer layers of our skin are being shed continuously.

Sometimes, dead skin cells are left behind and get stuck together by the sticky sebum, causing a blockage in the pore.

Pore blockage is more likely to occur during puberty (the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction). More sebum is produced by the sebaceous gland - as the pore is blocked, it accumulates behind the blockage.

This accumulated and blocked sebum has bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes; this slow-growing bacterium is linked to acne. Propionibacterium acnes generally exist harmlessly on our skin - however, when the conditions are right, it can reproduce more rapidly and become a problem. The bacterium feeds off the sebum and produces a substance that causes an immune response, leading to inflammation of the skin and spots.

The skin of people who are prone to acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of testosterone - a natural hormone found in both males and females. In such people the testosterone can make the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, making the clogging up of dead skin cells more likely, which in turn increases the probability of blocking the pores, etc.

Treating Pimples with Konjac Sponges.

The key to controlling your Acne and Pimple is your capability to control the body oils that you might have in your face. Choose gentle herbal facial cleansers and use them a minimum of twice throughout the day to remove debris, oil, perspiration, and pollutants that have built up about the skin.
