Rooibos tea for your skin

In this post, you are going to discover the wonderful benefits and uses of rooibos tea for your skin.

I keep receiving so many questions and comments from different readers about different teas and herbal preparations to use for their skin, however, I'm not completely convinced by most of them, but in the case of rooibos tea, I can say without a doubt that it's very fantastic for your skin, and in fact, it will help it deal with so many problems and inflammations as well.

  • The first benefit of rooibos tea for your skin is its antioxidant compounds.


Indeed, rooibos tea contains high amounts of ascorbic acid, vitamin C, which is a very powerful antioxidant; however, this doesn't mean that rooibos tea is to replace fruits and vegetables; it only means that it is very rich in antioxidants that will help your skin and your whole body as well.

  • The second benefit is it doesn't contain caffeine.


As with green tea or even coffee, which contain high amounts of caffeine and other stimulants, rooibos tea doesn't contain caffeine, which is very important for your skin.

You may ask me why?

Well, it's very easy to understand, when you take a lot of caffeine, it will increase your heart palpitations which is going to disturb your cardiovascular system and blood flow dramatically, in other words, your skin isn't going to get a lot of nutrients and oxygen from your blood, which is going to make it look pale and very weak!

Well, it's not the case with rooibos tea, although it's a little powerful, it's completely safe to drink and will not cause disturbances in your cardiovascular system.

  • The third benefit is containing low amounts of tannin.


Tannin is thought of by many scientists as a negative compound, it's present in average amounts in black and green tea, and it binds with proteins and other elements and hinders their absorption.

This makes rooibos tea very healthy, in fact, healthier when it comes to tannin than green tea or black tea.

  • The fourth benefit is its healing elements.


Indeed, rooibos tea contains high amounts of polyphenols, among which are flavanols, dihydrochalcones, aspalathin, cinnamic acids, nothofagin, flavones, flavanones and benzoic.

  • Now, let's discuss how to use rooibos tea for your skin:


Well, as far as burns, inflammations, and other skin problems are concerned, applying some few teaspoons of quality rooibos tea directly onto your skin is going to lower these problems dramatically, however, the most important benefits are going to occur when you start drinking it on a daily basis.

This is when you are going to flood your body with its essential antioxidants that are going to protect it and also help make your skin glow and feel amazingly healthy.
