the benefits ~ WHITE TEA

White Tea is the new wrinkle remedy. According to a study white extract contains compounds that can 

block the effects of inflammation associated with premature ageing,as well as many health conditions 

including cancer, arthritis and diabetes. White tea contains less caffeine than green tea and has a milder

sweeter tast. Enjoy a cup of white tea without milk.

There are 3 main varieties:~

Silver Needle - the highest quality of the white teas which is made from the buds only.

White Peony - contains both the buds and leaves which is stronger in taste than the silver needle.

Long Life Eyebrow - Made from the leftover leaves after the harvest.

7. EAT RIGHT

"Your skin receives nutrients not only from creams and treatments, but also from the food you eat. 

"The more balanced your diet, the younger you'll look. And if you're not taking a multivitamin, start now." 

To keep skin happy, eat more fatty fish (such as salmon), dark green vegetables (like broccoli and spinach), almonds, and walnuts. Drink lots of antioxidant green tea. And lay off the refined sugar and booze—both cause aging inflammatory reactions in the skin.

8. GET MOVING

"Exercise increases blood flow to the skin and promotes a glowing, healthy-looking complexion. 

"Working out for just 30 minutes four or five days a week can make a huge difference."

9. TRY TO RELAX

The mind-body connection is a powerful one. "Do whatever you need to do to decompress." 

"Stress causes cells to age faster, which absolutely shows on the skin."

10. DO NOT PICK


You got the same advice when you were a teenager. "Sun damage causes dark spots 
as you age, but so does picking at your blemishes. "Since the skin takes a lot longer 
to repair itself as you age, the spots won't disappear right away.

4. STAY HYDRATED

"The more hydrated your skin, the better your wrinkles will look. 

"Drink lots of water, cut back on coffee and soda, and moisturise regularly.

5. SLEEP WELL

The expression "beauty rest" actually has some science behind it. "Not only does your skin 

require downtime to repair itself, but sagging skin and puffiness around the eyes 

make wrinkles look much worse.

6. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT

 "Skin loses elasticity over time. 

"The more your weight fluctuates, the harder it is to snap back into shape."
