The tension between cosmetic chemistry and the world of natural skin care sometimes seems to amount to a virtual clash of civilizations. Chemists argue that ingredients like foam stabilizers and detergents are perfectly innocent, while the herbs-and-flowers crowd vilify them as irritating or just plain dangerous. Green tea is a uniter, though: Dermatologists, consumer advocates and natural skin care experts alike sing its praises as a skin soother, antioxidant, and perhaps even a skin cancer inhibitor (this last has not yet been conclusively proved to work in humans, however). Whether it is purchased in commercial products or concocted at home, a green tea toner can improve the skin's appearance in many instances.

What's So Great About Green Tea in Skin Care Products?

The astounding array of skin-beneficial ingredients in a cup of green tea makes it an excellent addition to a skin care regime (note that white tea is equivalent in benefit to green, but black tea has lower concentrations of some important components). Green tea has L-Theanine in it, which provides anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties, and is thus a natural way to soothe red patches and make blemished skin look less inflamed. It generally causes few undesirable skin reactions, unlike chamomile, another popular natural tea toner that may cause problems for those allergic to certain plants in the daisy family.

Green tea also has 20 times the antioxidant capabilities of Vitamin E, because it contains "catechins;" a type of polyphenol. One of these (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) actually seems to prevent damage to the collagen-elastin network that supports the skin. Green tea's polysaccarides also help keep moisture nicely trapped in the skin; but tea not in itself particularly moisturizing, so use it prior to applying a gel, cream, or lotion appropriate for your skin type. Tea can temporarily make pores look smaller by acting as a mild astringent, so oily skin plagued by blackheads and enlarged pores may respond well to green tea toners as well. It also helps shrink unsightly bags under the eyes when applied as a compress.
