Tea is a great for maintaining healthy-looking skin.  Tea contains rich antioxidants known as polyphenols, which fight against the damaging affects of free radicals. What this means is tea ultimately helps you to fight against the signs of aging that can result in wrinkles and collagen breakdown.

Green tea is good for inflammation, hormonal activity, and helps in detoxification. All of these things, she said, help with acne and could get that clear skin you want.

On buying the right tea to help your skin and even overall health she said,

When shopping for tea, look at the box to see how many catechins it has. The more catechins it contains, the better, because that means that the tea has a high level of antioxidants.  Try to buy organic green tea when you can, and store your tea in a dark, dry place.
