Tea is considered to be a jack of all trades when it comes to health. It helps treat a variety of health issues such as reducing bad cholesterol, lowering the risks of heart disease or calming down an upset stomach. It helps relax you or even give you a boost of energy if you’re not a coffee drinker.

 

But did you know that tea is a superstar in the skincare world? Teas are rich in vitamins, amino acids and nutrients that help combat common skin problems such as dehydration, inflammation, UV damage and other issues that contribute to the deterioration of our skin health.

 

Ready to start drinking this herbal beverage? We’ve curated 5 of the best teas and some of their essential skin benefits to help you choose what’s best for your skin.

 

Green Tea to give your skin a serious health boost

Generally an all-rounder for giving off numerous skin health benefits, Green Tea contains potent antioxidant EGCG known to reactivate dying skin cells, fight free radicals and reduce skin damage from harmful UV rays.  

Rooibos Tea for youthful-looking skin

Best known for its anti-aging skin benefits, Rooibos tea, also known as Red Bush Tea, has been used for hundreds of years in South Africa as a herbal drink to treat a variety of skin issues. It contains the enzyme superoxide dismutase, a potent nutrient that helps slow down the appearance of fine lines and other signs of skin aging.

Hibiscus Tea for glowing skin

Rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, hibiscus tea supports your skin’s natural collagen production and helps prevent skin sagging. It is also a natural source of AHA, the potent water-soluble acid that gently exfoliates and brightens the skin.

Chamomile Tea to calm irritated skin

This popular tea is a great drink to promote relaxation and sleep. The same goes for your skin. Chamomile tea’s relaxing properties help alleviate skin inflammation and irritation. It contains flavonoids that can help relieve dry, patchy skin and even pimples. Due to its soothing properties, chamomile tea is a great herbal tonic for those with sensitive skin that’s prone to rashes and inflammation.

Peppermint Tea for oily and acne-prone skin

Aside from its great minty taste that works wonders for calming down an upset stomach, peppermint tea’s acids and flavonoids help slow down the skin’s oil production, wherein too much sebum can cause acne. It also contains potent antioxidants that can be helpful in treating itchy skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema.

These 5 teas are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to teas having great skin health benefits. But these are by far the most popular, enjoyable and delicious tonics to help you get started on your way to clear, healthy skin - try it!
