Can Green Tea Help Prevent Sun Damage and Acne?
August 24, 2008 No Comments
Everywhere you look green tea is being touted for its health benefits. It is known as a powerful antioxidant and drinking the tea is highly beneficial. But what else can it be used for?
Well apparently, according to one study, when the extra is applied under your normal sun screen, it can help prevent sun damage.
“It is best to combine green tea with zinc oxide-based sunscreens because zinc oxide is chemically inert and should not react with green tea (which some chemical sunscreens might do, especially in sunlight).” according to smartskincare.com
You can find green tea skin creams at most health food stores like Chamberlin’s and Whole Foods. What other skin care benefits have been found using green tea?
Well, another study by Jennifer Gan-Wong, M.D, states that green tea is just as effective as Benzoyl Peroxide in the treatment of moderate to severe acne without leaving your skin dry and flaky.
Hmm, do you think that there may be a good reason that Japanese women have such amazing skin. Perhaps one of the reasons is because so many of the facial products from there contain this powerful antioxidant. Just a thought.

Ever wonder how on earth you will keep your face looking fresh throughout the summer? Have you spent a day playing in the water only to come home and realize that your face is now three shades DARKER than your foundation?
There’s no faster way to look like you’re a summer intern with the clowns at the circus than to put light make-up on a sun-kissed face. And unless this is your wish, I’m pretty sure that deep down in your heart of hearts you’d rather not make an appearance that makes your friends wonder if you’ve decided to make a career change!
One way you can keep your facial beauty is to be sure you apply sunscreen to your cheeks (as well as the rest of your beautiful face!) before heading out the door in the morning. Finding a good, moisturizing lotion that includes a minimum of an SPF15 rating is a necessity.
The folks at KORRES have come up with a delightful little tube of sunscreen that with regular application can help you keep that youthful glow that shows off your facial beauty. What’s more, it’s fun and smells good, too! The Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream (SPF30) is a great cream that will not only keep your face hydrated and moisturized, it can be counted on to help keep your skin healthy and escape the damaging rays of the sun.
The best beauty reviews out there all agree that it’s of utmost importance to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Why not ensure your own facial beauty by protecting your skin?
