Chinese herbal practice is very well known for its natural
ingredients and its numerous organic products. One of the
wonders of Chinese health practice is green tea. Through the
years, the habit of drinking green tea has become popular from
the mainland to many parts of the world. Because of its known
health benefits, demand for the beverage has significantly risen
to new levels. Now, there are studies that link natural skin
care benefits from consumption of green tea.

In China and many other Asian countries like Japan, Thailand
and India, green tea has been found to be very effective in
having several medicinal properties. Particularly, the tea has
been used to aid digestion and help heal wounds. While modern
medicine is still finding proofs for the therapeutic claims for
green tea, some people readily accept the known health benefits
based on hundreds of years of experience and observations.

Many modern traditional Chinese skincare products now have
green tea as an active ingredient to them. There are creams,
lotions and beauty preparations that are known to have green tea
extracts in them. These skincare and beauty products also have
antioxidants and vitamins E, C and A added to serve as natural
preservatives. What is more? These natural products are said to
be more effective because the good effects of green tea are
matched by the natural good effects of the other nutrients.
Currently, there are many manufacturers that are focusing on
green tea because the natural herbal beverage has been found to
have better and more effective skincare benefits.

There are new findings of studies showing green tea as having
additional skin care properties. For one, the active ingredients
in the beverage are said to be effective in offsetting the
harmful impact of skin damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Experiments using several kinds of animals have established that
green tea formulations help reduce sun damage to the skin. The
radicals and natural properties of the beverage reduce
inflammation and help serve as blockage to screen out the
damaging properties of sun rays. Experts advise that you drink
green tea or use products with it along with the regular use and
application of your usual sun block protection.

No wonder, green tea is starting to be present everywhere. Now,
you can find green tea in modern cold beverages. Several soft
drink manufacturers are developing drinks based on green tea as
a possible good replacement for the ever popular soft drinks and
fruit juices. There are even green tea beverages that have
different and truly interesting flavors. Green tea used to be
served hot and in cups. Now, they can be iced cold and can be
enjoyed anytime of the day or even as a refreshment during a
very hot summer day.

Recommended amount of green tea for it to function as a natural
skincare regimen varies. Dermatologists and herbal medicine
practitioners would endorse about two to three cups a day, while
traditional Chinese culture advises people to have about eight
cups each day.
