We all know that tea not only tastes good, helps you relax, and comes with some well-proven health benefits. But did you know that your tea can also improve the health and appearance of your skin? Well it can! Most teas are very rich in antioxidants that can hydrate, reverse damage and reduce inflammation of the skin. So while you may love to sip your tea, maybe you should try to apply your tea to your body. There are many products out there these days that have the benefits of the teas you love to drink everyday infused right into their formula. Here are four you should look out for!

Green Tea

I am quite sure this one doesn’t come as a shocker. You see and hear about the health and beauty benefits of green tea daily! Green tea has been proven to not only reduce signs of aging, but it’s super powers help to reduce your risk of skin cancer as well. Dermatologist Renee Snyder says that “the catechins in green tea can decrease inflammation associated with aging, as well as protect against sunburns and potentially long-term UV damage.” Some great green tea skin options are:

  • Replenix CF Green Tea Antioxidant Moisturizing Lotion ($38, dermstore.com)
  • One Love Organics Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum ($39, oneloveorganics.com)

Yerba Maté

This yummy tea is made from dried yerba maté plant leaves from Central and South America. It contains both high levels of free radical fighting antioxidants and caffeine. This tea is great for so many things from fatigue, appetite control and pore reduction, to acne prevention.

Another very popular tea, chamomile is loved for its ability to relieve dry skin and acne. According to Dr. Snyder “Chamomile can be used to help treat rashes and inflammatory skin conditions. It possesses flavonoids that have a strong inhibitory effect on free radicals.”

Sometimes referred to as red tea, this South African caffeine-free drink is great for pregnant women and is full of anti-inflammatory benefits.
