At SOL SPA we’re shining the spotlight on the benefits of green tea for skin, and how to use it in an effective and absorbable form for maximum glow, SOL SPA’s Green Tea Cleanser!

So, you may have heard about green tea and matcha. What’s the fuss about? First let’s talk about where green tea all started. In the 7th century, Japanese monks visiting China to study Zen Buddhism returned home with their new discovery of green tea’s wonderful healing properties. In the following centuries, drinking green tea became a staple for Japanese monks, filling them with energy and mental focus that enhanced their meditation. Green tea health benefits also include detoxing power, and an ability to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol. Today, Japanese green tea (also known as matcha) has developed a shining reputation for its high levels of antioxidants. But that’s not its only star quality. Green tea health benefits can be enjoyed both from drinking it and applying it on skin! That’s where we come in!

Studies show that green tea is effective in the prevention and treatment of abnormal skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema, but that’s not all! Drinking and applying green tea fights skin cancer by promoting DNA repair. Green tea contains a powerful antioxidant called EGCG that fights DNA damage from UV rays to prevent skin cancer. That means it’s also a potent anti-aging ingredient that combats signs of aging when applied topically. SOL SPA’s Green Tea Cleanser’s antioxidant power protects the skin from environmental factors and free radicals that lead to accelerated aging of the skin.

Green tea is chock full of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin E, both essential for skin health maintenance. B2 plays an essential role in maintaining collagen levels for youthful skin structure and firmness. Vitamin E supports new skin cell growth and also acts as an intense hydrator for soft and nourished skin. Caffeine and tannins in green tea help shrink blood vessels around the eyes. When used in conjunction with SOL SPA’s Eye Serum, it’s a miracle for treating puffy eyes and dark circles!

SOL SPA’s Green Tea Cleanser will leave the skin clean, soothed and moisturized as it cleanses the skin, while removing make-up and environmental buildup. This cleanser was formulated for all skin types and helps promote balanced protection on a daily basis! It’s also our recommended facial wash to use prior to any of our light therapy sessions. So, let’s not forget, you’re already enjoying the benefits of our zero gravity massage chairs and a red light facial at the same time? What are you waiting for? Get yours today at your 24 hour smart spa, SOL SPA.
