What is Green Tea?

The active components of green tea are polyphenols (also called catechins) that are believed to benefit the skin due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea also contains caffeine and tannins, which work by shrinking blood vessels and decreasing puffiness.
