Why is Rooibos Tea Good For The Skin?

The connection between drinking Rooibos tea and healthy skin may not be obvious – but it’s real!

Rooibos is chock-full of antioxidants which provide multiple health and wellness benefits. One of these is Quercetin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It’s excellent for soothing your skin and can be very helpful if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or acne. You can drink it hot or iced, and you can also dab it on the affected areas of the skin.

Rooibos also plays a part in protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Recent research shows that the abundance of Polyphenol antioxidants found in Rooibos gives it positive restorative powers – these substances have the ability to remove precancerous damaged cells and also block the onset of inflammation that can encourage the development of cancer.

There’s also much evidence that Rooibos has anti-aging properties and can possibly help to keep skin smooth, supple and wrinkle-free as we grow older.
