Green Tea: The Natural Super Antioxidant.

It’s no secret that green tea is good for you. Used in phytotherapy for 4000 years, green tea, like other types of tea, comes from a single plant species, Camellia Sinensis , native to South East Asia.
But did you know that the basis of this prodigious ingredient is its enormous antioxidant power?

In fact, Green Tea owes its enormous popularity in the cosmetic world to the high concentration of polyphenols, mainly contained in its seeds.

Polyphenols are the basis of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power of green tea and allow this WOW ingredient to protect cells from oxidative stress. But that is not all;   this also explains   its strong antibacterial, anti-itching, antiparasitic and cytotoxic capabilities.

In fact, green tea polyphenols are the best when it comes to protecting cellular and protein structures that counteract the action of oxygen free radicals , such as hydrogen peroxide. In this group we find monomeric flavanols, also known as  catechins, one of whose main characteristics is to protect cells from damage resulting from the oxidative process.

Green Tea and DNA regeneration.

But that is not all. Green tea protects us from the damage caused to cells by UVB rays , because it also reduces the risk of oncological transformation, i.e. the mutation of healthy cells into diseased ones. In fact,  the polyphenols contained in green tea play a very important role in controlling cellular proliferative and differentiative activity.  In essence, they are capable of regenerating DNA damaged by radiation . As we have written several times when talking about sun protection and filters, photoaging is an increasingly important issue when it comes to skin health. With photaging we refer to the phenomenon that has to do with the aging of the skin caused by excessive exposure to sun rays and radiation. Even the blue ones on the screen. And, speaking of polyphenols , numerous scientific studies have demonstrated how decisive these are to say the least in providing protection from the damage that these pathogens cause.

Green tea fights:

• Redness and sunburn: Being rich in fluorine, in fact, green tea brings new nourishment to the tissues and allows their mineralization, hydrating them deeply, counteracting aging and wear .

Catechins also help regulate hormonal imbalances in the body, a major cause of acne . You will be surprised to know that recent research by the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Alexandria has confirmed that when taken with medicines (e.g. antibiotics), it significantly improves their effectiveness.
• Dark circles: The antioxidants and astringent tannins present in green tea help tighten the capillaries and thus treat puffy eyes and dark circles.

We conclude by sharing a curiosity. It is often thought that  green tea, white tea and black tea correspond to three different varieties of the tea plant . Instead, it is the same leaves of the plant, but what changes is the fermentation, although it would be more precise to speak of oxidation, because oxygen activates enzymes and other components of the tea leaf, making the color change from green over time. from white to black and the aroma also changes accordingly. Finally, after harvesting, unlike black tea, it is treated with water vapor which inhibits oxidation.

Now that you’ve become a green tea expert, all you have to do is dive into the selection of products available on miloon to give a twist to your routine and tidy up your skin before returning to the city.
