Why is tea so good for your skin?

Tea is widely known to be rich in a particular group of antioxidants called Polyphenols.
Tea polyphenols, possess natural anti-oxidant properties and are chemical compounds such as flavanoids and tannins that are found naturally in tea. Depending on how the tea is harvested, handled, processed,and brewed, the polyphenol level in the tea can vary.  As polyphenols are antioxidants that fight free radicals, they not only help to combat aging skin but they are known to be able to combat developing coronary artery disease and a number of other health problems.
Nowadays, tea is an important ingredient in good skincare products as well as being considered a super food. Whether it’s black, green, white, oolong or the latest talked about tea in skincare, the South African rooibos tea, the Polyphenols in teas detoxify cell-damaging free radicals in the body.
