Green Tea
Green Tea — in skincare
Green tea extract comes from the leaves of Camellia sinensis and is one of the best-known antioxidants in Korean skincare. Its catechins, especially EGCG, help defend skin against everyday stress and help oily skin look calmer.
What it does for skin
Green tea helps calm the look of redness and keeps oily skin looking fresh and balanced. Leaf water gives mists a light, refreshing base, and seed oil softens skin in cleansing balms.
Who it suits
Oily, combination and breakout-prone skin, skin that reddens easily, and anyone who wants an everyday antioxidant. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin.
How to use it
Green tea works inside products you already use. In the evening, melt a cleansing balm over dry skin, add water and rinse. Spray a mist whenever skin feels tight, and apply sunscreen as the last morning step.
