Green tea can be a powerful tool for your health both inside and outside.<\/span>\u00a0Green tea has an AMAZING amount of antioxidants.<\/span>\u00a0Antioxidants are necessary to combat free radicals.<\/span>\u00a0Free radicals prematurely age you.<\/span>\u00a0Pollution, stress, bad eating habits, lack sleep, etc. are all sources of free radicals.<\/span>\u00a0Bring on the antioxidants.<\/span>\u00a0Make a DIY green tea cucumber spritzer!<\/span>\u00a0It’s easy, effective and smells great!<\/span><\/p>\n

Green tea can also protect your skin against UV damage, whether you apply it topically or drink it.<\/span>\u00a0It is smart to increase your consumption of green tea in the summer to protect and support your skin while you are out in the sunshine!<\/span><\/p>\n

Green tea also helps to retain water inside the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here we will find a wide range of ingredients such as hyaluronic, coQ10 and Wrinkle Defence Complex. We can also find botanical extracts, and many more!<\/span>\u00a0Since it was certified by ECOCERT Greenlife and naturally preserved, I chose to use their\u00a0Green Tea Extract.<\/span>\u00a0It’s also a great addition to any DIY that uses water.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Lotion Crafter<\/span><\/h4>\n

Green Tea Extract has a wide range of benefits, due primarily to its content of Polyphenols.<\/span>\u00a0Polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects.<\/span>\u00a0They also have the ability of inhibiting collagenase – the enzyme that causes degradation of collagen, and the vascular wall.<\/span>\u00a0Methylxanthines stimulate vasodilator responses and prevent lipid accumulation in adipocytes.<\/span>\u00a0Green Tea Extract protects also against UVB damage.<\/span>\u00a0Anti-cellulite products, sunblocks, wrinkle-reducing formulations, products for sensitive and irritated skin, and products to improve hair strength and shine are all possible applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

The green tea extract contains a high\u00a0catechins concentration<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0polyphenolic<\/span>\u00a0substances.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

This extract helps reduce the free radical activity of the skin. It can also help to reduce the appearances of wrinkles, age marks, and blemishes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Methylxanthines increases the microcirculation of the skin and improves the health and tone of the skin.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Green tea extract has a high level of anti-inflammatory properties.<\/span>\u00a0Collagenase, an enzyme that reduces collagen, is also present in high amounts.<\/span>\u00a0Topical application of green tea, which inhibits collagenase and increases collagen production, is beneficial.<\/span>\u00a0In one clinical trial, it was found that skin tissue had a measurably higher elastic content after the continuous application of green tea extract.<\/span><\/p>\n

      I love to use botanical extracts when making DIYs.<\/span>\u00a0Most of them are water-soluble, so we have a limited number of DIYs that can use them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
