Skin & Tea Benefits

                                                     
                                                   
 WHITE TEA:
White tea — which is made from only the delicate buds of the tea plant — has the highest levels of antioxidants, which protect against harmful free radicals.  White tea has high amounts of substances that protect elastin and collagen, proteins in our skin that maintain skin elasticity. Extracts in white tea exert an anti-inflammatory effect that slows the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers -- that skin needs to stay firm and wrinkle-free.

GREEN TEA:
This tea contains polyphenols which have anti-inflammatory characteristics. It works as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent that helps fight free radicals from sun, weather conditions, and environmental factors that make our skin age early. It protects the skin and prevents pre-mature aging.

 
ROSEHIP TEA:
Rosehips are the fruit of the rose plant and are one of the best plant sources of vitamin C, which is important for the immune system, skin and tissue health and adrenal function.  Rose hip tea is anti-aging, as it heals tissues and cells, while its antioxidant property fights cell damage due to free radicals. It also tones the organs and regenerates cells. Excellent source for skin hydration and circulation.

BLACK TEA:
Black tea is made from the dried leaves of Camellia Sinensis which is a perennial green shrub. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea are all derived from the same plant. Black tea is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins E and C and help to fight free radicals that cause pre-mature aging.
