Some people say that green tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet with numerous benefits, but there are always common misconceptions about its effects on our body. Nowadays you can find so many skin products containing green tea and assuring you that it’s ideal for your skin type. Here is what we think about it. Anti-Aging The free radicals are responsible for skin health since they determine will it be shiny young-looking or gray. Since green tea is rich in antioxidants it helps with skin oxidation as well as slowing down the aging process. Face creams with green tea extract are highly beneficial and they smell very nice as well. Astringent substances found in green tea make muscles toned and tighten the skin. That is why body and face creams with it will certainly make your skin firm and tight. I even tried washing my hair on a daily basis and it was a complete change since my hair became stronger and healthier. It sounds like a myth, but it’s not.  Stimulation – green tea or coffee Full of caffeine, green tea stimulates your brain very much like coffee. After a cup of tea, you will fell refreshed and ready to work. If you are a student preparing for an exam, it would be a perfect energy drink while studying. It helps you fight sleepiness, laziness and lack of energy. If you want to really feel the effects of green tea you should use it every single day. Some people say that it should be between two and three doses, but in my experience one liter is ideal if you want to drink it all day. Also, you can add one or two sachets of green teaX50, mix it up and soon you will sense how energised you become. Green tea has more minerals then water and you can drink it whenever you feel thirsty. In the long run, green tea will make you feel better and more awake than coffee.  Weight Change Many researchers claim that green tea can help with weight loss. To be clear, if your nutrition is unhealthy and packed with junk-food, no tea will help you. But if you consume green tea and eat nutrient rich food at the same time you will see rapid weight loss results. Given that green tea can boost the metabolic rate in short-term because of caffeine, your body will cleanse itself and remove all fat. And, by the time you start noticing weight loss you will feel completely transformed. Try it out and see for yourself.  Body Detox and Healthy Brain Our bodies are full of free radicals and dangerous substances that can harm us and in order to avoid being sick we often need to detox. Starting your day with green tea with lemon is the best thing if you want a vitamin boost. It eliminates hangover symptoms, headache and fatigue. Furthermore, the bio-active compounds in green tea can have various protective effects on neurons and reduce the risk of both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, the two most common degenerative disorders. This sounds like a myth, but is a proven truth.  Why Green Tea is Important With good eating and drinking habits we can be healthy for a long time keeping our body in good shape. One of the healthiest ways to start your day could be drinking green tea. We can choose from many flavors, types and mixtures in order to enjoy every cup. More importantly, green tea can replace some medication giving us the opportunity to live a longer and healthier life. This post has been contributed by Roxana Oliver

Caroline's Wash can be used as an every day body wash. Light, non irritating and PH balanced. I use it in the shower and it's also gentle enough to use on my face to remove make-up. It’s been great for shaving my legs, as I like to shave them every day, so I need a product as this, which lathers up a bit without using harmful sulphates. This is also very good to use as a hand wash by the sink to cleanse hands thourougly without using harsh detergents.

I massage it well in to my cracked heels and and it's been working very well to help keep the roughness away. I use it after shaving my legs and it stops irritation. I tend to have itchy skin in warmer weather and also after wearing tight clothes and this really soothes the itchiness down. Also works on scars which become irritated and itchy insect bites. I don’t suffer from excema, but my toddler nephew does and it’s helped to prevent it from reoccuring. It’s designed for sensitive skin and has a light natural aroma. Very good as an after sun care lotion to leave skin dewey and moisturised and to soothe sun burn.

 You know those giant underground pimples which are so hard to get rid of no matter what treatment you try??
I’ve tried spot medic on a few of those undergrounders and I was pleasantly surprised that this actually worked quite quickly. What it seems to do is draw out the nasty stuff hidden deep under the skin and the undergrounder just seems to shrink. All you do is place one of the round dressings on your pimple, leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning. The dressing feels comfortable, it’s not tight and doesn’t pull on skin. It leaves skin feeling soft and doesn’t dry it out like other harsh acne treatments, which also makes it easier to place make-up easily on after using it. The strips are also very discreet looking, so you won’t look too nerdy when you’re wearing it around the house. I adore the funky retro packaging. It only costs $14.95 for a pack of 36. Really good value and will last for ages. Spot medic ingredients are non toxic. The hydrocolloid dressings are biodegradable, non breathable dressings that contain non animal derived gelatin, pectin, carboxy-methylcellulose and other polymers, which promote wound healing. Available at Spot Medic.  To describe this intensive night cream I would use the word exquisite. The cream has has an exotic scent, almost oriental. The texture is velvety and luxurious, but not thick. It absorbs into my skin quickly. This is something I have noticed many times with Love System products from Australian Bush Flower Essences. The consistency of each product has been just right, not oily, but feels luxurious.
A gentle night cream, wonderful for sensitive skin, at the same time regenerates and replenishes dry skin. I have oily/combination skin and I love this texture, I apply it all over my face, neck and chest. It’s kept my skin soft and supple, as it contains so many wonderful antioxidants such as macadamia oil, calendula extract, arnica, olive leaf extract amongst many other anti-ageing essences and herbs. I feel like I’m treating myself to a mystical beauty treatment every night. The added benefits of Australian Bush Flower Essences help to uplift my mind, giving me a healing effect on my senses. I found that using the cream with these particular essences helped me to relax, open up creatively and enjoy the pleasures in life. After using the cream I found it very easy to relax in the evenings and start thinking of far away places! The bush flower essences it contains are - billy goat plum, black eyed susan, crowes, five corners, flannel flower, mulla mulla, old man banksia, she oak and wisteria. Love System is a certified organic skin care range made by Australian Bush Flower Essences, winners of the Natural Health International Beauty Awards 2015. If you would like to experience this unique night cream, it is available to order online at Chikki. |
