Green tea has become hugely popular in the past 20 or so years. Of course the history of its use goes back centuries. This tea has been used to help and cure many ailments from stomach trouble, fatigue, and rheumatoid arthritis to tooth decay. People of Asia have used green tea daily various ailments. So there is no surprise this light-tasting tea has become a popular remedy worldwide.
Perhaps the most interesting claim is that it can be beneficial for various cancers. A 1994 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that green tea lowered risk of cancer of the esophagus in Chinese subjects by almost 60%. Other studies such as at University of Purdue found that unique properties in the tea can slow the growth of cancer cells.
You might wonder why green tea is so effective against skin cancer when other varieties of tea are not. While green, black, and oolong tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant, green tea is processed using a method that helps preserve its antioxidant nature. You have to understand that green tea leaves are steamed. This process prevents the cancer-fighting compounds from being oxidized. Black and oolong teas are not nearly as effective in fighting disease since they are processed differently.
As a result, some people are now calling green tea a new yet age-old "fountain of youth" for the skin. While more research is necessary, the initial results are incredibly encouraging. Scientists have been working on a new type of skin product in which green tea plays a significant role. Consequently, they have found a way to use lab work and introduce it to the cosmetic counter. It seems green tea is particularly effective in protecting the skin from sun damage which increases the risks of developing skin cancer.
Since the public interest in alternative medicine is so great, it appears green tea will be increasingly used another tool for enhancing health. More and more, health conscious consumers turn to green tea for its therapeutic benefits. Research on green tea's beneficial effects on the skin is nothing short of highly promising. It is possible for green tea to exert a revolutionary impact on skin treatments. This tea may lead to younger-looking skin and also help to keep skin cancer from forming. So that would be welcome news to fair-skinned people or anyone who has a history of skin cancer in their family.

I would add a slight twist to this green tea mask. This becomes more powerful when you add pectin to the mix! Pectin is a soluble fibre extracted from the pulps of apples and other citrus fruits. It is used to make jams, jellies, and other preservatives. Adding green tea to pectin makes a nice facial cream that nourishes your skin even further. Pectin helps in epidermal growth and fights aging, making it the perfect compliments to green tea as a skin moisturizer.
