St. Louis (November 2009) -- Known for its antioxidant benefits, green tea skin care minimizes skin irritation and redness to soothe and heal stressed skin. Dr. Anne Riordan, board-certified dermatologist, recognized the positive impact green tea extract has on skin health and uses it as one of the three main ingredients in her new skin care treatment, Azfasst.
"I have seen amazing results with the use of green tea extract in Azfasst on patients of all ages and skin types," said Dr. Anne Riordan, developer of the Azfasst Skin Care line. "I couldn't find a green tea product that incorporated the ingredient with other effective compounds in over the counter treatments. Azfasst was specifically engineered to combine green tea extract for the fastest, most noticeable results."
Green tea extract has several benefits that impact the health and beauty of skin. Plus, with the unique combination of green tea extract, salicylic acid and lactic acid all working together, Azfasst gel promotes clearer, smoother and softer skin. The following are the specific benefits green tea offers:
Decreases Free Radicals: Free radicals are either caused by normal metabolic functions or environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, pollution and radiation. These environmental factors have harmful effects on your skin, causing free radicals to emerge and as a result, damaging the skin. The antioxidants known as catechins are abundant in green tea and have the power to prevent cell and tissue damage caused by free radicals. Because free radicals emerge more frequently with age, it is important to make antioxidants available to your body early to avoid them from developing and multiplying.
Enhances Sun Protection: Green tea has been shown to neutralize skin damage caused by exposure to UV rays. Especially when used in addition to sunscreen, green tea enhances sun protection and helps fight off wrinkles and lines caused by sun exposure.
Reduces Inflammation: Green tea has a soothing effect that can reduce skin inflammation and redness. Azfasst is safe for people with skin conditions such as rosacea. With its antioxidant benefit, green tea also fights off bacteria and helps deter hormonal activity that causes inflammation.
Rejuvenates Skin Cells: Though green tea may not reverse the aging process, it can help increase elastic tissue in the skin when used regularly. By minimizing lines and tightening up the skin, green tea has the potential to make users look and feel more beautiful.
"The combination of the three main ingredients green tea, salicylic acid and lactic acid makes Azfasst so successful. Each one works with, not against each other and as a result, people can see the difference that Azfasst can make in nourishing and maintaining skin health," said Dr. Riordan.
