If
you read the Health Tip, It's in the Bag!, you know
about the benefits of drinking green tea, such as reducing allergy
symptoms and boosting metabolism. Even if you're not a tea drinker,
you can still get the anti-aging benefits of green tea. Recent studies
show that applying green tea directly onto the skin may help to reduce
the effects of aging due to sun damage. In addition, skin treated with
extracts of green tea showed less UV damage, less sunburn and greater
protection from skin cancer, compared to skin not treated with green
tea. Watkins offers a complete line of green tea products for your
skin, including Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion,
Moisturizing Gel, Body Wash, Body Bar, aluminum-free Deodorant and
Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap. For optimal sun protection, try
Watkins Aloe Vera Sun Block SPF-30 and Aloe Botanical Lip Balm SPF-23.
If you happen to get too much sun, Watkins Aloe Vera Burn Cream
provides soothing relief.
