We’ll highlight some of the featured ingredients that are amazing for your skin

Green Tea

Since the 7th century, people have revered the healing properties of green tea. It imbued people with energy, focus, and enhanced meditation practices. Nowadays, green tea is in everything from lattes to skin care products. In regards to the skin, green tea can be highly beneficial, as it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. The catechins, which are polyphenols in green tea, can reduce irritation, swelling, and redness on the skin. Green tea can also be an antibacterial agent, helping to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of acne. The powerful antioxidant, EGCG, in green tea works to promote DNA repair and protect skin from UV damage. As a bonus, the caffeine and tannins may help shrink blood vessels around the eyes, making it a potential solution for puffy eyes and dark circles. 

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel exhibits cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, which help to accelerate the healing of a sunburn. Applying this gel provides the skin with a protective layer that helps it retain moisture. Unlike regular moisturizers, aloe vera gel doesn’t leave a greasy film on the face or skin. In fact, it helps to unclog pores and soften the skin. Due to the vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, in aloe vera gel, researchers suggest that it exhibits anti-aging properties. Moreover, the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties help eradicate blemishes and reduce fine lines. Plus, it helps encourage the production of collagen to improve skin elasticity. 

Sugar

A scrub would not be a scrub without a gentle exfoliant. Sugar is one of the best natural beauty products to help exfoliate your skin. The granules are fine enough to help remove dead skin cells and impurities without irritating the skin. With all that dirt and dead skin cells removed, the skin appears more radiant. You give yourself a healthier glow! Plus, dermatologists note that sugar helps to fight aging by not allowing toxins to attack skin cells.
