Kari is particularly fond
of green tea skin care recipes for her skin.
Especially since she can
indulge herself with a natural anti-aging skin care treatment while
relaxing and enjoying a healthful cup of tea at the same time.
New
studies are released nearly every day that expound upon the virtues of
green tea.
Green tea is gaining in popularity as a common
ingredient
found in natural skin care recipes because of its very powerful anti-aging properties.
Kari loves
this simple, yet rich
soothing skin peel recipe jammed packed with nutrients. She
treats herself to a facial treatment least once a
week.

Did you know that studies indicate that the topical application of green tea helps to repair sun damage, treat acne, prevent premature skin aging, and enhance skin tone while stimulating new cell growth?
An article published the National Library of Medicine correlates an effective relationship to the topical use of green in improving acne.
In addition, the August issue of the Archives of Dermatology says:
"There may be some benefits of green tea in the human skin products," Hasan Mukhtar, PhD, and colleagues say in the article, which summarizes all the known information about green tea's effects on the skin.
Mukhtar believes, as do others, that green tea's antioxidant property is key to its skin-protective qualities. "Of all the antioxidants known to mankind, the components of green tea are the most potent," says Mukhtar. "Antioxidants are those agents which can counteract the effects of oxidant radicals." Oxidant radicals -- or free radicals, as they are commonly called -- are byproducts of the body that can cause damage to cells and tissues. Antioxidants bind to the free radicals, deactivating them before they can cause harm."
There are an increasing number of research studies that show that both drinking green tea and applying it topically can have a wide range of benefits for your skin. Not only can green tea and green tea extract help treat acne and promote younger looking skin, but it also has the potential for helping to prevent melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.
Green Tea is great for you inside and out.
