Green tea has long been known as a powerful antioxidant when consumed as a tea or supplement but many new studies indicate that green tea offers numerous beauty benefits when used in skin cream.  The active ingredients in green tea skin care are flavanols, polyphenols, and epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG for short).  EGCG is a potent antioxidant - between 20 - 100 times more powerful than vitamin C and A.

Green tea extract, which you can find in revolutionary new products like belisiRX, fights free radicals - those rogue molecules that cause aging, tissue damage, and possibly even disease.

Demi Moore and Heather Locklear are as gorgeous as they ever were. And we all know it’s not by sheer luck. While there’s something to say for taking care of your skin, chances are a plastic surgeon (or two) played a part in helping these stars stay looking youthful, even though they’ll deny it.

First it was healthy food; then came a push for sustainable living. Now even clothes are organic. It only makes sense that the products you put on your body are good for you too.

For our first Beauty RX entry we’re getting back to basics. We spend hundreds of dollars on skincare products concocted in a laboratory, when nature has already done the work for us—for free. So the next time you want to tighten and refresh your skin, you might want to start at your pantry instead of the medicine cabinet.
