Facial wrinkles are caused by many factors, including loss of skin moisture, repetitive facial movements such as squinting, frowning, smiling and even sleep positions. Environmental stresses from air pollution, ozone, not enough sleep and cigarette smoke also play a negative role.

The biggest cause in premature aging is most often associated with photo damage, the damage caused by chronic exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. In the deficiency of antioxidant protection, the skin is left defenseless against oxidative damage. As we age, our skin begins to lose its natural beautiful glow and shine. Rather than remaining tight, smooth and youthful, it starts to sag, wrinkle, and become prune-like, in that way making us look much older than we actually are and feel.

Everyone has probably heard a little something about green tea and how it benefits our health. Green tea is a great antioxidant used normally as something to drink, but it's also found in a lot of products such as anti-aging creams. Right now green tea has been one of the most popular choices for anti-aging. Green tea has nutrients that help decrease and perhaps remove fine lines and wrinkles, not to mention it revitalizes the skin and makes it appear much younger. The advantage is that it is an antioxidant so you can count on getting rid of any toxins that have damaged your skin and decrease that damage, along with any future damage, that comes with the free radicals.
