What Is Green Tea?

Green tea is derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is a true tea along with black tea, white tea, and oolong tea. Green tea is light yellow or pale green in color and offers an earthy flavor and aroma. It is one of the least processed true teas, allowing it to retain the majority of its beneficial health compounds. 

Green tea is used for skincare in a variety of ways. Green tea creams and lotions emerged from Asian markets such as China and have become mainstream in the western world. Green tea extract is another popular alternative and comes in the form of supplements or essential oils. All forms are backed by research demonstrating benefits for skin health and treatment of skin disorders.
