Organic green tea extract is nearly like a wonder nutraceutical, skincare medium (for topical creams and salves) and a very powerful internal supplement that can truly enhance the way that your skin looks and feels. In fact, there are many different uses and benefits that this antioxidant-rich extract has to offer when taken daily. Let’s take a look at a few of the benefits and uses of this extract to better demonstrate why it’s used in so many skincare lines and supplements.
Uses and Benefits
- Is a popular proprietary ingredient in many skincare lines because it helps keep the skin elastic, supple and toned.
- Organic green tea extract is a very powerful antioxidant and combats free-radicals in the body (when taken internally) and on the skin as well (when used topically or taken internally) to prevent the formation of skin cancers and skin tumors.
- Has been shown to work as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, and works internally as well as in topical mediums to minimize skin inflammations.
- Progressively inhibits the functioning of collagenase, which is an enzyme that will break down collagen as we age and contribute to saggy and aging skin with poor elasticity.
- Contributes to the elasticity of the skin when used in a topical medium, because it works to increase and promote the quantity of the collagen in the skin, which is the skin’s natural rejuvenator.
- When used as an extract in skincare creams, as well as when taken internally, organic green tea extract can also act as a powerful astringent for the skin, without causing irritation.
- When taken as an internal supplement daily, it works progressively to enhance the tone and the texture of the skin.
