It isn’t by chance that the best skincare ingredients for a glowing complexion have remarkable anti-aging properties. 

Let’s look at what makes for a good internal and external glow. Sure, we all desire incredible skin. But the best skincare ingredients always go beyond the face by enticing you to feel great and look beautiful…

Green Tea
Drink it, bathe in it or moisturize your skin with it. Green tea and oxidative stress, which those free radicals cause, have an antagonistic relationship. Fortunately, green tea wins when they have a confrontation. Green tea wins, oxidative stress runs away, and wrinkled, saggy skin stays on the sidelines for another day. As an anti-inflammatory, it is also great.

White Tea
Like it or not, our bodies host enzymes that live by nibbling on collagen and elastin. As we age, they multiply and develop ravenous appetites. White tea, however, places the enzymes on a strict diet by inhibiting their appetite. While one side of white tea discusses dietary issues, the other side lets loose its catechins, powerhouse antioxidants, to slow down the appearance of wrinkles by giving a lecture to free radicals. The free radicals get bored and run away.

Vitamin E
get ready to glowOne of nature’s superior antioxidants, vitamin E stops visible signs of skin-hungry free radicals ravaging our dermis. Our bodies don’t produce this sublime moisturizer and anti-inflammatory, so we use capsules and serum to invite it in. Triple bonus: Vitamin E doubles as a delivery system by helping our skin absorb other phenomenal ingredients in particular Vitamin C.
Grandma knew in touting veggies that was good for you, so the next time you’re at the grocers, load up on cucumbers. As eye pads, this delicious veggie refreshes puffy, tired eyes. Those eyes add years to your appearance, don’t they? Cucumbers are rich in vitamin E and potassium which help in fighting fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C
The stimulating delicious oranges works wonders on your skin. Vitamin C is a great attacker of fine lines, wrinkles and scars on its own, but it also leads collagen, elastin and vitamin E to the charge. Vitamin E depletes during its battle with free radicals; vitamin C regenerates vitamin E’s energy levels. Vitamin C also helps stimulate the cells that produce those lovely, anti-aging benefits named collagen and elastin. Regenisis Vitamin Serum,

Ubiquinone
You might better recognize ubiquinone by the name CoQ10. Our bodies produce this coenzyme, but its production, like many other proteins and enzymes, reduces as we age. We want this naturally occurring antioxidant because it stops pesky free radicals and revives collagen and elastin production. It also feeds skin cells the energy they need to rejuvenate; it’s great for cells. It ranks as one of the best skincare ingredients for anti-aging. .

Pomegranates
Pomegranate oil, rich in omega 5 fatty acids, penetrates deep into your skin. It travels through all skin layers to hydrate thoroughly. While it travels, it protects the outer layer from sun and environmental damage, boosts new cell production in skin’s inner layers, softens your skin and has a motivates collagen and elastin to inspire increased production. A pomegranate’s ability to do just about everything makes it one of the best skincare ingredients for a dewy complexion.

White Tea Reduces DNA Damage While Preserving Collagen And Elastin

Excitement is in the air as we learn more about what White tea will do for your skin.WhiteTea

Firstly, it protects your skin by strengthening its immune system. Did you even know your skin has an immune system? It’s true! The epidermis contains “watch dog” cells called Langerhans cells. These cells are constantly on alert for foreign agents like germs and mutated proteins that may be a pre-cursor to cancer cells. However, Langerhans cells are extremely sensitive to sunlight & over time they become destroyed by sun damage.

In a study from Case Western Reserve University, researchers applied a cream containing white tea extract to a patch of skin on each subject’s buttock. They then exposed this skin to artificial sunlight.

After just three days, skin treated with white tea extract had its Langerhans cell immunity protection properties completely restored from the sun damage caused by this artificial light exposure. In addition, the white tea extract limited DNA damage in the treated skin cells. That’s the kind of damage that promotes skin cancer, age spots and wrinkling.

downloadWhite tea also keeps skin looking younger by slowing the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Even when you’re young, collagen and elastin are breaking down all the time as a natural process. Enzymes known as “matrix metalloproteinases” (MMP) activate this breakdown. However, our young body naturally replaces collagen and elastin to repair the damage.

As you get older, this MMP breaks down collagen and elastin faster than you can replace it. Eventually this imbalance can lead to sagging skin and wrinkles. However, the good news is in the exciting research as shared above.

Researchers also found white tea inhibited MMP’s destructive action better than 20 other plant extracts tested. In fact, white tea was 3-6 times more effective than green tea at protecting collagen and elastin.

Preserve Your Skin’s Youthful Elasticity With White Tea Extract

To promote healthy, radiant skin drink 2 to 3 cups of white tea every day. It is not as popular or as well understood as green tea, but the benefits are far greater. You can find it in your health food store or online.

best-skin-womanWhite Tea can come in several flavours and there are also unflavoured white teas. Just remember that white tea contains low amounts of caffeine so if you’re sensitive, go easy. You can also apply white tea directly to your skin.

Here’s a technique I am going to share with you to apply it directly to your skin: Freeze freshly brewed white tea in ice cube trays. Rub a melting cube over your skin for a refreshing white tea toner after cleansing or washing your face.

Here’s to a more beautiful you!
