Natural Green Tea Helps Acne Too
Natural Green Tea
Polyphenols, the potent antioxidants in natural green tea, are classified as catechins. The six primary catechin compounds in natural green tea are the most active and are also the most widely studied. These compounds: catechin, gallaogatechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and apigallocatechin gallate; are commonly known as EGCG. EGCG have been shown to be highly effective agents against inflammation.
Oolong, black, and natural green tea all come from the Camellia sinensis plant. The others are fermented in their processing, whereas natural green tea leaves are steamed. This steaming preserves the EGCG, allowing the natural green tea to maintain its effectiveness.

Whatever the amount, a little green tea in your diet is sure to have some positive effect.
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by
. How much do you need to drink? Well, since it is beneficial to health, my reasoning leads me to think that drinking any at all would benefit overall health. Also, matcha green tea is supposed to be a very very potent form, due to the fact that you drink the actual leaf ground up.
But on the topic of green tea's benefit to skin health, I was referring to it being a great topical treatment – with the same level of effectiveness as benzoyl peroxide, without having the negative effects of free radical production. Mixing natural green tea into an at home mask, for instance, would be the way to have it directly benefit skin
