Green tea has been used in Asia for centuries, where an average of 5 cups are consumed daily. Its beneficial effects are already recognized worldwide. But did you know that it is an excellent natural remedy for oily skin, blackheads, and acne?

Camellia sinensis is the plant from which green tea is obtained and has a high tannin content, making it astringent, perfect for controlling sebum levels on combination or oily skin.

By using a green tea-based cosmetic product, you will notice how your pores secrete less sebum and your skin looks cleaner and healthier.

Green tea-based products remove impurities from the skin's surface, purify in depth, and are ideal anti-pollution products, especially for people living in crowded cities or constantly entering dusty environments.

Green tea is an excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which is why it will help you quickly get rid of facial inflammations when pimples appear. The antibacterial properties of green tea make it a perfect product for acne precisely because, by using it long-term, it will help reduce pimples.

So, if you are struggling with combination or oily skin, acne, or blackheads, we recommend a treatment with bamboo scrub (it cleans your face like few products do) and a green tea mask to use twice a week, and to clean your face daily with green tea micellar gel. You can find all three below.
