Over the past decade, green tea has developed quite a reputation as a “health food,” as researchers have uncovered a variety of health benefits.

You may be aware that it is good for your body. But do you know that it also shows up as a key ingredient in a variety of skin and hair care products?

There is scientific research showing that green tea has a variety of beneficial properties when used topically:

• Fight Free Radicals

• Prevent Skin Cancer

• Rejuvenate Skin Cells

• Fight Inflammation

• Promote Hair Growth

• Improve Psoriasis and Dandruff Conditions

• Sooth Acne and Lighten Skin

Genuine green tea skin care products are few and far between. They need to contain a substantial amount of green tea to be beneficial.

Powerful green tea antioxidant EGCG is so active that it oxidize quickly when it comes into contact with oxygen. So it is doubly important to check that your product contains the right levels of green tea ingredients.

Look for green tea near the top of the ingredient list. It should say “green tea extract” or better still, catechins or EGCG.

According to the 2003 study conducted by Stephen Hsu, EGCG concentrations of 50 to 100 micrograms per ml are sufficient to rejuvenate skin cells. His study found that beneficial effects were observed up to 200 micrograms and higher.

Also, if the label says “green tea fragrance,” put it back on the shelf. Fragrance oils are synthetic chemicals that can be harmful.

In recent years, people have become increasingly concerned about synthetic chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group, almost 50% of cosmetics and personal care products on the market have at least one chemical that has been linked to reproductive issues or cancer.

The problem is that in the United States, cosmetics companies do not have to prove that their products are safe for long-term use. Therefore, they can and often do use cheap synthetic chemicals.

Cosmetic companies claim they have found an answer to these concerns: Products that are made using "natural, organic, healthy plant extracts". Most green tea lotion and cream products are promoted in this manner - as a natural alternative to chemical-laden face creams.

Surely a product labeled natural and organic is a safe bet, right? Unfortunately, when it comes to cosmetics, those words actually mean very little.

The Environmental Working Group has a website called Skin Deep which can be used to look up different ingredients, products and brands. A similar website is run by the Personal Care Product Council (PCPC), an organization that represents the cosmetics industry.

Do you know that you can use green tea to fight baldness and increase hair growth? Emerging scientific evidence is highly promising.

These are their findings:

Have problems with scalp and dandruff?

According to a 2007 study conducted by Dr. Stephen Hsu of the Medical College of Georgia, green tea shows promise in treating both psoriasis and its more common cousin, dandruff.
