Rejuvenating Tea
Did you know that one of the most powerful skin foods is actually a drink? Bursting with antioxidants to promote DNA repair, green tea can protect against skin cancer and fight the signs of ageing.
Green tea’s anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness and irritation on the skin and the high levels of vitamins B2 and E are essential for skin health maintenance. B2 maintains collagen levels for firmness while Vitamin E enhances new skin cell growth and provides intense hydration.
