Green tea has long been touted as a miracle drink by many people. Apart from cleansing out the system, it is also a rich source of antioxidants and it is even believed that it holds the key to weight loss and cancer prevention.

Thanks to the antioxidant content of green tea, it has become one of the most preferred ingredients in skin care products. Green tea skin creams are enriched with antioxidants as well as the catechin called Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which plays a multitude of roles. It plays a hand in cell repair, protection from skin damage, and even has anti-inflammatory properties. These same properties can also slow down the signs of skin aging.

Using a green tea eye cream or facial cream is a good way for you to treat your skin problems in a natural and healthy way. Just make sure that the products you select don't have any harmful chemicals or substances.
