1. Aids Beauty Sleep
One of the secret weapons in the quest for eternal youth is getting your “beauty sleep” every night. Theanine, a key amino acid in Japanese green tea, can help with that as well. It contains components that promote relaxation and calmness, which in turn help you get a good night’s sleep and aids you on your journey to simplify you.
Japanese green tea can actually promote both the quality of sleep and the quantity if consumed in lower amounts throughout the day. Here’s the reason why: Theanine works to reduce stress-related hormones and neuron excitement in the brain, which helps the brain to relax. Of course, a relaxed mind leads to a good night’s sleep. A few low-caffeine Japanese green teas to try for this are Hojicha and Bancha.
2. Moisturizes & Hydrates Skin
Japanese green tea features a good amount of Vitamins C, B2, and E. Both B2 and C help with the maintenance of healthy skin and music membrane (collagen formation). B2 plays an especially important role in maintaining collagen, which helps provide skin a youthful appearance through firmness and structure. Vitamins C and E are also strong antioxidants that protect the skin. Additionally, Vitamins E also supports new skin cell growth and helps to hydrate and nourish skin to give it a softer, younger appearance.
3. Reduces Redness, Irritation, & Puffiness
Japanese green tea also has anti-inflammatory properties from its high content of polyphenols. This helps reduce redness, irritation, and swelling. Applied topically, it has additional benefits, such as soothing minor cuts and sunburn as well as the irritation and itching.
Additionally, the caffeine and tannins in Japanese green tea help reduce puffiness under the eyes and swelling. The caffeine constricts the blood vessels in the thin skin under the eyes, which reduces the puffiness and inflammation. This treatment is especially good after a crying jag, when hungover, or if your eyes are puffy due to seasonal allergies.
4. Treats Acne
The mighty catechins in Japanese green tea have an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic effect, which helps fight acne and unclog pores. It does this in a few ways. First, when applied topically to the skin, Japanese green tea helps reduce sebum secretion, which can lead to acne. Second, when consumed, the polyphenols also have the power to fight infection by damaging bacterial membranes, which means it controls the bacterial growth that can cause acne. To apply topically, try this mask…
5. Fights Premature Aging
The antioxidant EGCG (catechin) and the abundance of the aforementioned B2 vitamin have another benefit for beauty as well. It has powerful anti-aging properties and helps with cell rejuvenation. This aids in turning dull skin into younger, healthier-looking skin, while the B2 also helps with premature sagging.
What Is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is a naturally derived ingredient known for its soothing properties. It can come in powder, liquid, and gel form and can be found in products like creams, moisturizers, gels, and masks. The leaves of the aloe vera plant are made up of three layers: the inner gel or mucilage (which is 99.5% water), the middle latex layer, and the outer layer or rind.[1] So how did aloe vera get its reputation for being a magical cure-all ingredient? That likely has to do with the fact that the other 0.5% is made up of a wide range of chemicals: "Aloe is rich in vitamins, amino acids, polysaccharides, and phytosterols, so it has all these calming, great properties," Nussbaum says. "Additionally, it has vitamins A, C, D, and E, and it also has minerals, like zinc, potassium, and magnesium, so it really is this rich gel or extract that can be used for a variety of things," Nussbaum says.Despite all the anecdotal testimonials about the miraculous effects it has on the skin, there's not enough medical research to support most of these claims. Romanowski says when it comes to its actual benefits, there are two main functions: to soothe and moisturize the skin. Nussbaum adds, "There are tons of uses for it, and it’s great for face masks and calming, but it’s not better than other things we have, like vitamin C and niacinamide. It’s a safe thing to use for the skin for hydration and anti-inflammatory, but it’s not an end-all, be-all."

Benefits of Aloe Vera for Skin
- Soothes the skin: Aloe vera is best used for soothing itchiness or irritation.[2] Aloe vera is a great added bonus to use in conjunction with your other calming products.
- Prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL): Transepidermal water loss occurs when the skin gets dehydrated, causing dryness and inflammation.
- Cools and hydrates the skin.
- Moisturizes: Romanowski says that another main benefit is a small level of moisturization. It wouldn’t be my go-to for eczema or psoriasis, although it has been shown to help it, it can give a moisturizing effect, just not a healing effect.
- Promote healing of breakouts: Although it could possibly help to treat an acne breakout, thanks to the salicylic acid it contains,[3] It's the moisturizing properties that make aloe vera beneficial for acne, seeing as a moist environment is better for healing.
Main Benefits
Calms, soothes, and hydrates the skin
Who Should Use it
In general, anyone looking to soothe burns, including sunburn and windburn, and moisturize their skin.
Works Well With
To increase the calming benefits, using it with anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Do Not Use With
To avoid using aloe vera products that also contain alcohol, which will negate the moisturizing, soothing effects of the aloe, also to avoid combining it with chemical exfoliants, which could worsen any stinging or irritation. If you have a burn, to avoid using it with an ointment or petrolatum, which will trap the heat inside.
Benefits of Chamomile Flower Extract for Skin
Chamomile is an herb that has been used for thousands of years to promote sleep, relieve stress, and alleviate stomach ailments, acting as a natural medicine to ease heartburn and nausea1.[1] But the soothing plant has powers beyond improving our insides.
If you pay attention to ingredient lists on beauty products, you've probably noticed chamomile cropping up in a number of skincare products formulated to calm, heal, and soothe skin—and for good reason. "It contains high levels of an antioxidant known as apigenin, which explains its effects on the skin," says Dr. Zeichner.
Dr. Zeichner and Dr. Engelman both tout chamomile for its ability to calm and soothe the skin, in addition to reducing redness, blemishes, and signs of aging.
- Alleviates redness: "Chamomile placates redness because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Redness is a side-effect of underlying inflammation. If an ingredient is anti-inflammatory, [the] skin is soothed, less red, and less irritated," explains Dr. Engelman.
- Soothes sensitive skin: "There is basic science research showing that chamomile helps block signals in the body known as prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation. This makes chamomile a great ingredient for people who have sensitive skin, as well as inflammatory conditions like rosacea," says Dr. Zeichner.
- Relieves inflammation: "Because chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to protect against long-term and short-term skin inflammation. [Specifically], in the case of sunburns, it helps reduce DNA damage caused by too much UV exposure. This is why a cold compress of brewed chamomile tea placed on the sunburn can aid in a quicker recovery," adds Dr. Engelman.
- Decreases signs of aging: Chamomile has long been used for medicinal purposes thanks to its abundance of flavonoids and phytochemicals.[2] These nutrients are known to fight against harmful free radicals and speed up cell regeneration, thereby improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.[3]

Who Should Use It

Benefits of Cucumber Extract for Skin
Whether your skin is dry, or oily, whether your skin is young or old, cucumber soothes, balances, tones, and moisturizes. It said to have astringent properties and to help clear the pores. Cucumber’s astringent effects firm and tighten, balancing oil production and reducing signs of ageing. Its desquamation properties promote shedding of the outer layer of dry and damaged skin, and its natural emollient properties combat dryness.
Who Should Use It
Irritated and acne-prone skin.

Works Well With
the juice from a cucumber can easily be mixed with other moisturizing ingredients like honey or aloe vera to hydrate and soothe your skin.
Benefits of Grape Seed Oil for Skin
Many of grapeseed oil’s beauty benefits may be due to its vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acid content. Free radicals and environmental factors such as sun, wind, and pollution can do a number on your skin. They may increase the signs of aging and cause dry skin and discoloration.
Vitamin E helps battles free radicals, so it may help improve your skin when consumed in your diet. The same benefits may apply when it’s applied directly to your skin in the form of grapeseed oil.
According to theLinus Pauling Institute, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are crucial to skin function and appearance. And omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for skin barrier functioning. The main omega-6 PUFA in grapeseed oil is linolenic acid. This fatty acid may help reduce inflammation in the skin’s middle and outer layers.
Other reasons grapeseed oil is used are to:
- moisturize skin
- heal acne
- lighten skin
- tighten pores
- reduce the appearance of scars
- remove makeup
