Eventually, your skin WILL reflect what you put into it! Tea is a comforting ritual in which your mind, body AND skin can benefit.  Tea is packed with powerful phenolic anti-oxidants that help reverse inflammation, fight cancer, prevent heart disease and promote weight loss

Green tea has received a lot of attention due to its high content of polyphenols called catechins. The most potent type of green tea catechin is epigallocatechin gallate, also known as EGCG. Studies show that EGCG is a potent antioxidant, which inhibits inflammation and promotes the death of cancerous cells. Regular consumption of green tea is associated with a reduced incidence of several types of cancer and of heart disease. Using healthy individuals, controlled testing shows that: 

2 CUPS/DAY: decreases measures of oxidative stress and DNA damage in blood.  
3 CUPS/DAY: reduces the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol, a significant factor in the development of heart disease. The beneficial effects of green tea are accompanied by a decrease in inflammation of the arteries, another important factor in preventing heart disease.  
4 CUPS/DAY: of decaffeinated green tea produces significant antioxidant effects for cigarette smokers, whose bodies are exposed to greater oxidative stress than are non-smokers’.
