There are articles that are being written nowadays that green tea helps to reduce fine wrinkle lines and considered the latest in skin care. Green tea works great for its health benefits for quite some time now, but it so called effect on the skin is a recent claim by the promoters of the infusion. Why it is that cosmetic care have jumped on the green tea band wagon and are suggesting this for you?
Cosmetic companies are the one who are making the claims all the time; it may or may not be the truth. People tend to be gullible and make mistakes in opting for certain beauty products. Collagen products are the ones that were very much written about and promoted, but ultimately did not prove to be that effective at all.
Collagen is a very dense product and it does not get easily absorbed by the skin, and this is the reason why it has not been so effective for you. The collagen never entered your body completely, so in spite of its good properties, it was never allowed to benefit you. And now, you are attracted to the articles that advocate the consumption of green tea to remove the fine wrinkle lines.
Green tea is a natural product and it does have positive effects for increasing your metabolism, increasing your resistance to gingivitis and cavities and keeping your blood sugar under control. It is known to improve the immune system and can keep colon cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer at bay. Because of all these benefits, green tea is definitely to be commended.
But for fine wrinkles it does not really fit the bill. It has ingredients with very potent antioxidants which help in many ways, but antioxidants do not do anything for the fine wrinkles on your skin. The best antioxidants in the world are Cynergy TK and active New Zealand Manuka honey and they are rarely suggested to be taken by themselves.
Actually, the best antioxidants which help the skin wrinkles are Functional Keratin and Phytessence Wakame which are really effective in smoothing out those wrinkles on your skin. They are head and shoulders above all other antioxidants and should be considered for wrinkle reduction.
Green tea does not increase the natural production of collagen in the body or that of elastin, or hyalronic acid which are the natural products available in the skin that keep the skin wrinkle free. These tissues give your skin more firmness and fullness and thus reduce the wrinkles on your skin. Antioxidants also help the body in many other ways than just the effect on your skin.
Yes, certain antioxidants will help you heal free radical damage and may be just right for you, but the antioxidants in green tea may just not help your skin to eliminate fine wrinkles, in spite of all the other good effects it has on your body.
