smiley_miley Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Does green tea have any benefits to the skin? I heard somewhere that it did, but I can't remember what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 http://my.webmd.com/content/article/73/88879?src=Inktomi&condition=Skin%20&%20BeautySept. 8, 2003 -- New research shows that chemicals in green and black tea may be able to prevent skin cancer when applied to your skin. Eventually, these chemicals may be put into a lotion that could prevent skin cancer better than sun block alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 That is a very interesting article. When I was little and we got sunburned, my mother would have us take baths in tea or rub cold wet tea bags on our sunburn. While I don't think it was green tea, it did provide some sun burn relief but now I'm wondering if we didn't get other benefits too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
