Drinking tea has countless benefits, but have you ever given much thought to the benefits of tea when used in your skincare?

Caffeine helps depuff your face; it has a ton of antioxidants that can help protect your skin from environmental damage and more. Why wouldn't you want your skin to reap the same benefits of drinking a cuppa? It's a no-brainer. Allow us to introduce you to some tea-based skincare.  

Youth To The People Kale and Green Tea Spinach Superfood Cleanser 

This has been one of our go-to products for years because it's just that good. It works for all skin types and is basically the equivalent of a green juice for your skin. It uses superfood ingredients to cleanse your face, balance your skin's pH levels, prevent buildup in your pores, and remove makeup. The antioxidant-rich green tea in this helps reduce signs of aging, kale helps keep your skin glow, and the spinach helps cool and soothe your skin.

Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol

We love this K-beauty serum because it helps with skin discomfort caused by stressors as well as UV exposure. This product uses green tea that can help soothe skin damage caused by UV rays. It also contains mugwort, which can help soothe the skin. The last standout ingredient in this is panthenol, which is vitamin B5 and can help your skin barrier retain moisture.

Innisfree Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum

As we mentioned earlier, one of the benefits of tea-infused products is caffeine (just like if you were to drink it). This is an eye serum that has a roll-on tip applicator and uses caffeine from green tea and niacinamide to depuff and brighten your eye area. It also uses hyaluronic acid to hydrate your eye area. 

Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask

While we've mentioned a lot of products that showcase green tea, black tea deserves some love as well. Sometimes you just need a mask moment; there's nothing that feels quite as good as a face mask after a long day. This mask uses a black tea complex to help improve elasticity. It also contains sake, which helps soften and purify your skin, and hyaluronic acid to keep your skin nice and hydrated. It also contains polysaccharides, which can help smooth the skin. 

Byroe English Breakfast Tea Treatment Essence

We love this essence because it helps your skin barrier and restores your skin elasticity and firmness. Before we go into the benefits of each key ingredient, please take a second to admire how stunning this product is.

This essence uses two types of black tea: regular and kombucha, which is fermented black tea. Regular black tea helps protect the skin from sun damage, and the caffeine helps depuff your skin. Kombucha helps restore and regenerate your skin. It also uses panthenol to soothe your skin and squalane, which helps protect and moisturize your skin.
