Here's the Skin-ny on Tea

Benefits of drinking green tea, such as reducing allergy symptoms and boosting metabolism. Even if you're not a tea drinker, you can still get the anti-aging benefits of green tea. Recent studies show that applying green tea directly onto the skin may help to reduce the effects of aging due to sun damage. In addition, skin treated with extracts of green tea showed less UV damage, less sunburn and greater protection from skin cancer, compared to skin not treated with green tea. Watkins offers a complete line of green tea products for your skin, including Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion, Body Wash, Body Bar, aluminum-free Deodorant and Liquid Hand Soap. For optimal sun protection, try Watkins Aloe Vera Sun Block SPF-30 and Aloe Botanical Lip Balm SPF-23. If you happen to get too much sun, Watkins Aloe Vera Burn Cream provides soothing relief.
