Friday Focus: GREEN TEA, INFUSE ME!

Posted on by

What better way to kick off a Friday than with a splash of tea…?

Green tea is the elixir of skincare in our opinion. To name just a few, it has the benefits of fighting UV damage, contains anti-ageing properties, reduces inflammation and is perfect for sensitive skin which is why we’re seeing it pop up more and more in the cosmetic and beauty industries. We’re giving the rundown below of our favourite green tea infused products.

 

L.A.B 2 BRUSH KITS

A UK first, this range is infused with calming Green Tea powder. With super high quality synthetic fibres and ultra plush bristles, this range provides beauty junkies with a completely flawless finish without any added guilt. Each brush is anti-microbial, meaning they can stay fresher for longer and is permanently infused with ‘good for you’ ingredients and a unique cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants including vitamin C and E.

GLO SKIN BEAUTY – CONDITIONING MIST

This conditioning mist is a refreshing and hydrating toner that soothes the skin.  Hyaluronic Acid (a new big contender on the beauty scene) is used to attract and maintain moisture in dehydrated skin and there’s chamomile which will support the skin’s natural barrier.

The chamomile also provides antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties making this ideal to help clear skin. This skin toner calms, smoothes and balances the complexion.

 

BEAUTYPRO REJUVENATING COLLAGEN MASK WITH GREEN TEA EXTRACT

Facemask. One of our favourite words. Whether it’s a sheet mask, bubble mask or mud mask, few things beat that refreshed and relaxed feeling that comes post face mask rinse.

The BeautyPro collagen mask is a dual-function mask which rebalances oily t-zones, hydrates dry areas and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s a 15 minute treatment that’s suitable for all skin types. What more could you need!

ELIZABETH ARDEN GREEN TEA HONEY DROPS BODY CREAM

Drench your skin in lustrous moisture with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream. It’s a super hydrating, all-over body cream, ideal for dry skin.

Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream from Elizabeth Arden is infused with a blend of real honey and fragrant green tea extract, to help calm and condition your skin. It helps lock in moisture, leaving your skin silky smooth and beautifully scented.

We feel refreshed already!

 

FUJI GREEN TEA HAND CREAM

Perfect for on-the-go hydration, don’t leave home without this hand cream. Infused with the refreshing scent of Fuji Green Tea, the light, gel-cream formula absorbs quickly, helping to soften and protect your hands. Dreamy.

Clearspring Organic Japanese Sencha Blend Matcha Green Tea

matchagreenteaGreen tea has always been hailed as the healthiest hot drink out there, but new research has found it can also be good for your mind.

 

Scientists claim green tea enhances several cognitive functions, in particular our working memory. The new research, from the University of Basel, found that green tea increases the brain’s effective connectivity. Scientists at the university saw significant improvements in working memory tasks after people had consumed green tea.

 

So we reviewed some Clearspring Organic Matcha Green Tea. It is a delicious blend and is created especially for Clearsrping by expert tea producers in Japan. It combines the exceptionally light, smooth and refreshing flavour of Japanese Sencha with distinctly rich and exquisite ceremonial grade Matcha Powder. Skilfully blended and packed on their tea producers’ estate immediately after production to ensure the freshest quality. Available from March in Waitrose and here, RRP £3.99

 

It tastes great and left us feeling very healthy. We’ll keep you updated on any improvements to memory, if we remember.
