Green tea, which is considered to be the most studied among all the different kinds of tea comes from the plant called Camilla Sinensis.  Since green tea contains antioxidants, it helps prevent your skin from loosing elasticity, discoloration, wrinkles, fine lines and signs of aging. Green tea and black skin care go hand in hand due to the antioxidant catechins and polyphenols.

Not only is drinking green tea good for your health, but facial cleansers that contain green tea will help remove black heads and pimples. It also helps lessen skin blotches and pigmentation and that’s why green tea extracts are found in most facial cleanser products.

Did you know that green tea also helps protect your skin from the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sun as well? This is why it is recommended that people with black skin apply green tea lotion after putting sunscreen on their body to avoid sun damage, inflammation and sunburn. I know it’s an extra step but it helps.

If you want to protect your skin from long-term damage such as skin cancer, make it a point to use green tea extracts on your skin. Studies have shown that green tea has the ability to lessen cancer cells and even kill them. That is why you should make green tea a part of your diet as well.

Drinking green tea will boost your immune system and fill your body with antioxidants. Green tea can also treat acne, rosacea, psoriasis and wrinkles. If you want to know how you can use green tea to keep your body healthy and protected, you can make a pot of green tea and pour the liquid into an ice cube tray. Once it has become frozen, take a cube of ice and rub it on your face. If you want to take away puffy eyes, you could use a green tea bag and place them in cold water. Afterwards, place them on top of your eyes to relieve the puffiness.

There is no doubt that green tea and black skin care work well together. If papaya works well to make your skin white, green tea can preserve your black skin and make it look healthy. All you need to do is make green tea a part of your daily diet. It’s not all about applying it on your skin. You can have iced green tea or warm green tea during your meals. Not only does it taste good but it is good for your health as well.
