Packed with many antioxidants and minerals, Rooibos is an extremely healthy choice. It promotes health and healthier skin both when ingested as a drink and when applied topically - directly to the skin.

 

Rooibos gives healthier skin for the following reasons:

 

Anti-ageing - Rich with the enzyme superoxide dismutase - an excellent anti-aging substance. A powerful anti-oxidant. Superoxide dismutase is necessary for the production of healthy skin-producing cells, and the high levels in Rooibos's guarantee healthier skin. Superoxide dismutase also fights wrinkles by neutralizing the free radicals that cause them, which is wonderful for those who want to slow the aging process. The patented 'green plant' extract used has 11 times more anti-oxidants than possible through conventional extracts. Making it a powerful tool to reduce the visible signs of ageing.

 

Hypo-allergenic and Anti-bacterial -

 

Rooibos is hypoallergenic. This property in skin care allows scientists to develop skin care that are naturally suitable for all skin types. Its anti-bacterial property is another advantage, as it can treat and alleviate bacterial infections on the skin.

 

High in Zinc-

 

Rooibos also has high levels of many minerals and vitamins that promote healthy skin, especially zinc and vitamin D.

 

Helps with eczema and acne -

 

Studies show that Rooibos helps treat various skin disorders, including eczema and acne. Acne sufferers have reported that both drinking the tea and applying it to their skin helped to decrease their amount of facial eruptions. Studies are still underway to determine what exactly is in Rooibos that helps, but scientists believe that it may be the high level of flavonoids, which encourage the body to destroy unwanted pathogens.

 

Whatever the reason, Rooibos clearly contributes to healthier skin for those suffering from common skin disorders.
