Tea isn’t just for drinking anymore. Loved for its anti-aging and soothing benefits, it’s quickly climbing the ranks of popular skincare ingredients.
Curious about the hype, I tried taking showers with tea for a week. And here’s what happened to my skin.
Instant Hydration
My skin feels instantly hydrated and soft after the first try. The natural antioxidants improved texture while locking in moisture, leaving my skin plump and smooth. Throughout the week, dark spots also began fading as the antioxidants work to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Calming Effect
The soothing properties of tea worked wonders on reducing redness and irritation, much appreciated by my sahara-dry skin. Apart from the physical perks, I felt more zen and relaxed breathing in the tea’s refreshing aroma, which stayed on my skin all day.
Youthful Glow
The anti-aging benefits of tea were immediately visible, especially in my complexion. My skin looked brighter and more radiant. As a bonus, the tea leaves gently exfoliate, clearing away dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing (my dry skin could never).
Different teas, different benefits. How do you pick?
Green tea
Packed with antioxidants, green tea is an anti-aging powerhouse known to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while boosting collagen production. Its anti-inflammatory qualities also help reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm irritation, keeping your skin happy and healthy.
Oolong tea
If you have combination or oily skin, oolong tea’s about to become your favorite. With the unique ability to balance oil production, oolong tea hydrates while preventing excess shine. Rich in polyphenols, it also improves skin elasticity to promote a firm, youthful appearance.
White Tea
The most delicate of all teas, white tea is packed with even more antioxidants than green tea. It contains powerful anti-aging properties, protecting your skin against environmental damage and premature aging. White tea also soothes redness and strengthens skin barrier to give you a soft, radiant complexion.
If you’re looking for an easy, natural way to boost your skin’s hydration, glow, and overall health, tea might just be your new go-to.
