At Well Within Beauty, one of our primary focuses involves reducing your exposure to harmful toxins by using non-toxic, all-natural skin care from our PLANTED IN BEAUTY line. Another focus involves helping you make healthier lifestyle choices that benefit your skin and overall health. One such choice is opting for whole, plant-based foods that improve beauty and wellness from within. Tea is a terrific complement to your plant-based diet and has numerous health benefits - including beautiful skin.

If you enjoy a refreshing cup of tea, you’ll be pleased to find that a variety of teas benefit skin health and vitality. Learn which teas can help you achieve clear and beautiful skin. 

GREEN TEA

Consuming five to six cups of green tea per day can help reduce inflammation thanks to the polyphenols found in the tea. This means regular consumption of green tea could help with skin conditions like acne or rosacea. Green tea is also a great source of antioxidants that prevent sun damage and stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells.

CHAMOMILE

Chamomile has anti-inflammatory flavonoids, which are helpful in easing skin conditions like acne. Manganese, a mineral needed for collagen production, is also found in this tea. However, chamomile is perhaps best known for its anxiolytic and antioxidant properties that help relieve stress. Its calming effects help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and enable the skin to naturally repair itself while you rest.

ROOIBOS

Rooibos is an excellent source of antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, which has powerful anti-aging effects. These compounds protect the skin against oxidative stress and the signs of premature aging such as fat loss beneath the skin, which causes a saggy appearance with age.

HIBISCUS

This pink, flowery tea is loaded with skin-friendly vitamins and nutrients like Vitamin C, A, B1 and B2 as well as zinc and iron. Hibiscus tea also supplies the body with polyphenols that are believed to slow down the growth of skin cancer cells.

WHITE TEA

White tea is minimally processed, which means it retains more of its natural antioxidant content. As a result, white tea offers incredible benefits for skin, such as anti-inflammatory properties and anti-aging effects. It even delays the breakdown of collagen and elastin that causes skin to lose its soft, springiness. Its high antioxidant levels also mean it is more powerful at protecting skin from UV and environmental damage.

CALENDULA

Made from marigolds, calendula tea has immune-boosting powers that heal common skin problems like dry skin, acne, and sunburn. This tea not only treats skin issues, it also protects against them due to its powerful antioxidant effects that fight free radical damage. This same antioxidant protection reduces the appearance of scars, age spots, and wrinkles to give you visibly clearer and smoother skin.

PEPPERMINT

Those who are troubled with oily skin may enjoy the benefits of peppermint tea, as it naturally inhibits oil production. This minimizes clogged pores and results in healthier, acne-free skin. Peppermint tea also promotes immune functioning to soothe skin allergies and irritations.
