Green tea is a beverage. Do you know that you can use green tea oil for great skincare and hair treatment? Green tea oil is extracted from green tea leaves via steam distillation. The benefits of green tea for our body internally also apply externally to our skin and hair care.
1. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants from catechins, gallates, and flavonoids, which protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation and free radicals from the environment. These help to repair and rejuvenate collagen, thereby reducing wrinkles and fine lines; they also improve skin's resiliency. Green tea oil has many anti-aging properties.
2. Green tea oil penetrates quickly and deeply into the inner layers of the skin, providing hydration without feeling oily.
3. Green tea oil increases the fat-burning metabolism and reduces cellulite. When applied on the face and body, it can help to trim the fat and cellulite underneath the skin.
4. When applied to damaged, dyed, or chemically treated hair, green tea leaf essential oil adds shine and smoothness to the hair.
1. After washing your face, rub a few drops of green tea oil between your hands and gently pat them across your face and neck. Alternately, make your own customized facial oil by mixing green tea-infused oil with a few drops of a favorite essential oil and the contents of a vitamin E capsule. If you're using green tea essential oil, mix it with a carrier oil like sweet almond,jojoba and rosehip.
2. You may dab a few drops of green tea oil on the wrists and breathe in the soothing scent whenever you're feeling a little stressed.
