White tea

White tea is made from the buds and young leaves of the tea plant. Because it is harvested when it is young, the leaves and buds are still covered with a layer of white hair on the outside.

White tea is rich in antioxidants, especially polyphenols and catechins, which help neutralize free radicals - the culprits that degrade collagen.

White tea can also help inhibit enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, thereby preserving collagen structure and maintaining skin elasticity.

Rooibos Tea

Rooibos tea, also known as South African red tea, is deep red when brewed and contains no caffeine. This tea is rich in alpha hydroxy acids and zinc, which help the skin regenerate, reduce inflammation, and reduce redness.

Rooibos tea promotes skin regeneration, thereby improving skin smoothness and limiting the damage caused by free radicals to the skin. Because it does not contain ingredients that affect sleep, Rooibos tea can be drunk in the afternoon or evening.

Hibiscus tea

Hibiscus tea has a high vitamin C content, which fights free radicals, preserves collagen structure and stimulates collagen production.

This tea also contains anthocyanins, which have a powerful effect in fighting free radicals, effectively slowing down the skin aging process, preventing wrinkles, protecting the skin and improving elasticity.

Similar to Rooibos tea, this tea is caffeine-free so it won't affect sleep.
