Can Green Tea Lotion Help Prevent Skin Cancer

Posted on January 18, 2011 with No Comments

Research shows there is a better chance of green tea being applied to the skin (such as green tea lotion) verses beingswallowed at which it might be able to prevent skin cancer.  Research also shows that putting these chemicals into a lotion might work better at preventing skin cancer than using your everyday sun block. There have been numerous amounts of studies of skin benefits of green tea.  Green tea appears to remove sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and minimizing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays.  Therefore, green tea may synergistically promote sun protection when used in combination to sunscreen.
What are some of the Green tea benefits?  Green tea helps fight off the free radicals, free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron.  In other words free radicals are oxygen that contain molecules that damage our DNA.  Free radicals can form in ones skin for many different reasons, such as to much exposure to toxins.  Patients who have been exposed to cancer have been treated with Green Tea, with its ability to fight cancer.  Research is being preformed to see what types of cancer green tea will benefit and give the most promise too.  Green tea has a high importance for us to live longer and healthier.
What about wrinkles, and other signs of aging? Could green tea lotion help? Considering the research that has been documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and  topical green tea applications are more likely to slow down the development of some signs of aging. Whether green tea lotion can actually diminish wrinkles is far more uncertain.
Considering all the evidence above I would say green tea can’t hurt ones well being. I would definitely say using green tea lotion would benefit a person and even taking green tea internally. Green tea has many benefits and these are just a few.

The aim of anti-aging medicine is to extend not only the human lifespan but also the quality of life and to limit the debilitating affects of aging.

The global anti-aging products market is projected to be worth $115 billion by 2010, growing at a compounded annual rate of 9.14% and the South American market presents remarkable growth opportunities. Douglas Emslie, Group Managing Director, Tarsus Group
