Tea has been found to have far-reaching beauty and health benefits for anti-aging (inside and out), cardiovascular health, diabetes, brain function, brain performance, oral health and more. Due mainly to a naturally high concentration of antioxidants as well as antibacterial properties, tea time is more than an opportunity to take a break and relax. Try swapping your cup of coffee in favor of green, black or white tea—or apply these extracts directly to the skin—to give your complexion, body and overall wellness a much-needed boost.
