One surprising health benefit of green tea is its ability to fight inflammatory skin diseases and problems.Research indicates that inflammatory skin problems—characterized by patches of dry, red flaky skin caused by inflammation and over-production of skin cells—are reduced as a result of green tea consumption. The antioxidants can help delay signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and damage caused by sun exposure. Regular consumption of green tea flushes out unwanted toxins from the body leaving you with healthy and supple skin.SourceClear up AcneA University of Miami study found that even a mild dose of green tea’s antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds erased almost two-thirds of pimples from people with mild to moderate acne when used twice daily for six weeks. To benefit, make a cup of green tea, let cool, and use as a face wash. For oily skin, mix peppermint tea with the green tea for an oil blasting wash (or: RebelliouS Infusions—Mint); and to calm inflamed skin, add chamomile to green tea for a soothing acne home remedy.SourceAdditional source (PDF)Fuel your inner Rebel and try Rebellious!
