Prof. Dr. Jessica Wu, a dermatologist at the University of Southern California (USC), shared on Healthline that many people often consider skin as a mirror reflecting health within the body. Some teas not only help reduce inflammation and purify the blood but also support antioxidants, a key factor in maintaining youthful, even skin tone.
Here are 4 types of tea that support natural pink white skin, no need for invasive intervention:
Chamomile tea - Detoxify, soothe and brighten the skin
This is a type of tea that helps purify the liver, reduce acne, soothe dermatitis, and improve sleep. The beauty mechanism of chamomile contains apigenin, an antioxidant that can reduce oxidative stress, which is the cause of darkness and dull skin tone.
How to use: Drinking 1-2 cups a day in the evening helps relax and support skin regeneration while sleeping.
Green tea - Anti-aging and skin lightening
According to many studies at the University of Southern California, green tea is strongly antioxidant, increases metabolism, and reduces inflammation. Green tea is also rich in catechin EGCG, which helps neutralize free radicals, prevent skin cell damage and brighten skin pigmentation from within.
Another study published in the Journal of Nutrition 2011 showed that women who drank 2 cups of green tea per day had better skin hydration and less melasma after 12 weeks.
hibiscus tea (red artichoke tea) - Brightens skin and increases elasticity
This is a blood-clearing tea, aids digestion, fights inflammation, and promotes collagen production. Hibiscus in red artichoke tea contains alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which naturally helps regenerate the skin and fade dark spots from within.
Note: Do not drink too much if your blood pressure is low.
Berry tea - Supplement vitamin C and increase skin pinkness
Provide vitamin C, flavonoids, anthocyanins - skin lighteners and reduce discoloration. With a mechanism containing vitamin C, it is a key factor in the production of collagen protein, creating elasticity and smooth skin brightness.
How to use: Drink in the morning or after lunch to increase nutrient absorption.
Suggested combinations:
You can drink it alternately or combine 2-3 types of tea/day, maintaining at least 4-6 weeks to see clear results.
Drink warm, sugar-free, combined with a healthy diet and get enough sleep to optimize effectiveness.
