Among all its many other health benefits, green tea can be particularly beneficial to rosaceans. Apart from its already known health benefits of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, green tea may also work to reduce the effect of sun exposure, therefore possibly reducing the signs and symptoms of rosacea.
There are now many creams and lotions available on the net now containing green tea extract and yes some do show some promise. I prefer to just drink green tea as I don’t mind the taste and I also believe the antioxidant properties of green tea do far more for us if taken internally than topically. I also drink the green tea with earl grey too as I particularly enjoy that flavor and sometimes add just a dash of milk for variety. Any way you want to drink green tea, whether plain or with added flavours are all beneficial to your skin and health. So you can’t really go wrong with green tea whether it helps with your rosacea or not.
A great soothing splash or toner can be made yourself by brewing a cup of green tea and letting it cool and use a final rinse after cleansing. To keep the tea as fresh as possible, you may want to freeze some portions and let it thaw out before rinsing.
Just a quick note on caffeine and green tea. If you are sensitive to caffeine please be aware that green tea does contain some caffeine (about ¼ the amount of a cup of coffee) so you may want to keep this in mind when drinking it.
