설명
Tea polyphenols protect skin from UV damage through antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and direct absorption of UV radiation. Topical and oral EGCG has been shown to reduce UV-induced erythema, DNA damage, and photoaging. Green tea consumption is associated with improved skin elasticity, hydration, and reduced wrinkle depth. The anti-inflammatory properties of tea catechins help manage inflammatory skin conditions. Chlorophyll in green tea supports skin wound healing and provides mild UV-absorbing properties.
