Ranking of the best green tea face creams for 2022

Green tea is popular not only as a tasty and thirst-quenching drink, but also as a means used in cosmetology. Due to the fact that it contains a large amount of useful substances (vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, essential oils, antioxidants, etc.), it is not difficult to find cosmetics containing tea leaf extract. The effect of the use of drugs with its content is expressed in toning, restoring, getting rid of the problems of teenage skin, as well as removing age spots.

Not everyone knows that green and black tea are harvested from the same trees. The main difference is that the former is less oxidized than the latter, resulting in a yellow-green drink. For cosmetic purposes, not the drink itself is used, but an extract from it, which is obtained with prolonged infusion - a dark-colored liquid with a pronounced tea smell.

In this article, we will find out what green tea-based cosmetics are, what to look for when buying such cosmetics in order not to make mistakes when choosing, and also form a rating of quality creams containing tea extract, based on customer reviews.

Useful properties of cosmetics based on a drink made from tea leaves

The composition of the drink is varied. First of all, it contains vitamins (C, P, A, K, B, etc.), minerals (manganese, chromium, zinc, selenium), flavonoids, tannin, and many other micro and macro elements. In terms of the amount of vitamin A, it surpasses even carrots, and in terms of the content of element P, all citrus fruits.Since the substances contained in tea tone up the walls of blood vessels, with prolonged use, the vascular network may disappear, which is often found in older people, especially those suffering from high blood pressure.

The most interesting substance for cosmetology is polyphenyls. They have antioxidant properties, the action of which is to neutralize oxidants (which are oxidizing substances that negatively affect the cells of the epidermis).

Products with green tea improve the general condition and appearance of the epidermis, regardless of its type (dry, problematic, oily, etc.), relieve bruises and swelling under the eyes (which often happens from lack of sleep), reduce the number and intensity of acne, reduce harmful the effect of the sun's rays, tone and restore the skin.

Green tea-based creams do not have dangerous properties as such, the only drawback may be the occurrence of allergic reactions, which is associated with individual intolerance to the components that make up the cosmetic preparation. By itself, a tea tree leaf drink is not allergenic, it is recommended for external use for various skin problems. Among the recommendations of cosmetologists, one can often find advice to use “tea” product lines for skin prone to allergic reactions.

Customers note that after the start of using cosmetic preparations, the following effect appears: the skin is toned and tightened, the number of wrinkles decreases, the dermis becomes firm and elastic. It reduces inflammation from acne, protects against the damaging effects of sunlight, and also eliminates oiliness by regulating the amount of sebum.In addition, the plant extract moisturizes the epidermis and prevents overdrying. The universal purpose of tea-based products allows you to use it for any problems with the epidermis - dry dermis is moisturized, oily - reduces the production of sebum, problematic - heals, inflamed - is restored.

Products with plant extract are not very popular with customers, which is due to its rich green color, which it "shares" with the cream. Cosmetologists recommend not paying attention to color and aroma, and taking the composition of the drug and the action that the manufacturer promises as the main selection criterion.

The natural component is used not only in anti-aging cosmetics, but also in other facial care products intended for all ages and skin types.

Day cream helps to moisturize and saturate the epidermis with vitamins, smooth wrinkles, and provides protection from ultraviolet rays. The night line is used to nourish the skin of the face, relieve stress accumulated during the day, and relax the dermis.

Since the green drink contains tannin and caffeine, it is often used for eye care products, as they reduce the amount of fluid concentrated in this area and effectively deal with bags and puffiness.

On the net you can find a large number of recipes for the preparation of homemade cosmetic solutions for application to the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, which include a tea leaf.
