The ONE Tea You Should be Drinking For Flawless, Glowing Skin

BB creams are no new thing. After taking South Korea by storm, they quickly became a global phenomenon, and it's no surprise really, the skin-perfecting balms are one of the hardest working products out there. They moisturise, protect against UV, calm redness, blur imperfections, and, help deliver you a baby-like complexion.

But now there's a new BB in town, and nope, it doesn't belong in your makeup bag.

BB tea, is being hailed a 'beauty elixir' and could be the answer to better skin, as it feeds your complexion from the inside, out.

Loaded with green tea, it's no surprise that the 'beauty beverage' is rich with antioxidants. Why? Dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian explained to Marie Claire US the science lurking in each cuppa. "It's packed with antioxidants called catechins and polyphenols, which help protect skin from UV radiation by decreasing the chances of sunburn," she explained. "And like other antioxidants, they help decrease redness and inflammation." Sounds pretty snazzy, huh?

The fun doesn't stop there, the tea contains even more skin-loving goodies like rooibos, which is brimming with nutrients such as alpha-hydroxy-acid and zinc - that can calm inflammation and uneven skin. Along with dandelion extract, that can help hydrate your complexion.

When it comes to the taste, the tea has a subtle favouring of grapefruit, which makes it fresher and lighter than a lot of traditional herbal teas. No bitterness here, yay.

So coffee lovers, put down that beloved Latte and step away from your espresso, it's time to start sipping on this beauty beverage instead...
