What are the benefits of green tea?

An ancestral medicinal plant, green tea is known the world over and consumed mainly as a hot beverage. But did you know that it also has numerous benefits for your skin? We reveal all its secrets.

Native to South-East Asia, the tea plant is a small, hardy evergreen tree that doesn't lose its leaves in autumn, like the fir we know so well. It grows at altitudes of between 1,000 and 2,000 metres, where it thrives in warm, humid climates.

Green tea is a powerful medicinal plant, recognized for thousands of years for its many virtues. In fact, its history goes back over 5000 years in China! Unlike black tea, green tea has not undergone fermentation, and is therefore richer in antioxidants.

Pure or flavored, it's a timeless beverage consumed all over the world, and is recognized both for its antioxidant and fat-burning action, and for its caffeine content, which has a draining effect on the body.

As well as being a comforting beverage with great health benefits, green tea is also a choice active ingredient with multiple cosmetic virtues.

Its richness in natural antioxidants (polyphenols) gives it many properties: it moisturizes the skin and protects it from the effects of free radicals, responsible for premature skin aging. In addition to preserving the skin's elasticity and youthfulness, it is said to have a soothing and purifying effect.

In short: an active ingredient with multiple virtues for skin and body!
