White tea makes your skin younger

Scientists at Kingston University in London together with Neal’s Yard Remedies have researched the healing properties of 21 different plants and herbal extracts.

All tested plants had a positive effects on health on different levels. The most remarkable discovery of this research was that ingredients of white tea help to prevent and heal cancer, rheumatism, arthritis, and wrinkles.

Professor Declan Naughton of Kingston University says that the research has shown that white tea has anti aging effects and contains a high level of antioxidants, that can help to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The research also shows that the amount of plant extracts that firm up and recover the skin are very high. These substances are called elastin and collagen.

Elastin supports the natural elasticity of the body, which makes lungs, blood vessels and skin function better. The researchers are very much surprised by this result. “We have tested with very small dosages, even less than is found in the average cup of tea”, said the researchers.

Next to white tea they tested rose extract, pomegranate and green tea which also had a positive effect on health and appearance.
