The Beauty Wonder That Is Green Tea
When drank as a regular tea, green tea definitely is ahead of the game among other kinds of tea, simply because it's proven to have, if not the highest, one of the highest antioxidant properties. It also is high in flavonoids, meaning it has anticarcinogenic functions. Green tea can also aid in weight loss due to polyphenols and caffeine. Thus, it's good for the health, and good for the skin, too. No wonder you can now find it in different beauty products.
I have used Green Tea facial scrub and mud mask by Watsons, and a Green Tea facial emulsion by Ellianto, all of which gave me splendid results.
Let me talk about this mud pack first. This mud pack is very inexpensive and it can even double as your
facial wash. The smell is so soothing eucalyptus, I guess and whenever I use I kind of feel very relaxing. I usually use it as an alternative facial wash, especially after a very tiring day. It cleans the face without drying it, just leaving the skin soft and supple.
The Green Tea facial scrub by Watsons on the other hand has a cooling effect. It is best to use it at the end of a very hot day when your face becomes so oily, you feel that all the dirt has sticked to every pore in your face already. It also has a floral and eucalytpus scent, however, I find the grains a bit rough, so make sure to scrub very, very lightly only so as not to over-scrub your face.
Sad that I don't see Ellianto here in Manila anymore, but this emulsion is actually one of my favorite moisturizers. It has anti-aging effects due to green tea extracts in it, and it really gives my face a real nice glow. It's not heavy on the face, and can be used even on hot summer days.
So that's my list of green tea beauty products, and I hope to seeing more beauty products made of\, or has the wonder of green tea extracts.

I HEARD LOTS OF POSITIVE REVIEWS ABOUT GREEN TEA... now I am more convince with what you shared. :)
We know that green tea is good for our health thus it has the same effect on our skin. Worth-trying.

Dropping by from BC Bloggers Comment Hop See you!
i'll check the price in watson, if it is affordable, i will try this. =)
Yah I just saw the ad about the greentea mouthwash. It looks like I'm going to try it too! haha!
Yes, theyre very inexpensive. I think it's about 30php+ for 50ml :)
i use green tea bags for eyebags and face too, and really effective...
i'll check this brand at least di messy...
I have seen the ones from Watsons in some of their outlets. Seems like a good product from your review. :-)
I have never tried green tea beauty products but I do drink green tea everyday :) Seriously, I love Watsons beauty products. I can spend hours in the store just browsing around the store.
I am a green tea drinker for years now. I guess I'll start using beauty products with green tea as well. ;)
I should try these green tea beauty products, thanks for the informative review.
Ang galing ng watsons noh? kung ano-ano na yung private label products nila. Ang ayaw ko lang is, parang rip-off yung packaging ng already existing products.
hi chan!
wow, this is a nice share, worth trying! got to hunt this product
I love watsons. Everytime I go back to the Philippines, i always want to hoard on beauty items! I still find myself better off using beautu products from the Philippines. This green tea line is interesting.
i love Watson's they always never cease to amaze me with their products.. affordable at that
Great read. :) hunt mode misis ko with these products.. hehe :)

I'm using St Ive's Facial Scrub and I love it.
I remember my cousin who used to have many pimples and daily wash her face with warm water with green tea in it. And I can attest that it is effective.
I know green tea is god for the health but I have never tried it for the skin. This looks interesting especially that I am trying to find a more natural facial wash/scrub. I will try this soon.
Green tea is becoming a fad nowadays:) I haven't tried it on my skin yet maybe I'll check out the nearest watson here in my place:)
No wonder why that mud pack is so effectively because of green tea admixture. Who can dispute this claim for it's the wonder of nature: green tea?
based on your words I would love to try green tea beauty products hope it will give positive result for myself =)
haven't tried product with green tea, except the tea itself. i heard, green tea bags can be used to subside eyebags. i must search about this.
thanks for this info sis.
I'll check out the facial scrub. Thank you for sharing this.
I have love- hate relationship with Green Tea drinks due to the caffeine which causes Bad palpitations. Di naman Siguro mag palpitate face ko sa mga products Na yan haha!
i love green tea. :)
Green tea is in demand nowadays because of their countless benefits. Thanks for sharing this post.
I actually agree with the caffeine thing, that's why I don't drink green tea often since it's got more caffeine than a regular coffee weird, but that's for the local or more common green teas in the market. Challenge is to look for a brand that has no caffeine in it, that's what my aunt told me.
There are many green tea products for sale here in Singapore and I personally love green tea. I feel that they are great for the skin.
I love green tea as a drink. I'll still check whether it's good for my skin :) Thanks for sharing!
I love tea. But green tea, di sobra. Hehe. Nice review sis.
So where could I get this Ellianto product? Love drinking green tea, but I dunno if I will want to lather it on my skin for now. XD
I haven't seen those Green Tea products at Watson's. Thanks for sharing this. I'll check them out next time I stop by and try one of those.
edit: What?! another captcha!
that really nice, green tea is very well known to have many significant benefits.

I love green tea products. Even perfume made from green tea has a refreshing smell. It's clean and crisp.
Green tea is good for the skin and the soothing effects come from the eucalyptus indeed.
I havn't tried those products yet. When I go to Watsons I might give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Looks good for the skin, 'might give it a try.
I should try this product. Check this at Watsons.
