As the Highfields air begins to crisp and the May winds pick up, your skin’s relationship with the environment changes. While the UV index might be dropping, the autumn breeze and fluctuating temperatures bring a new set of challenges: dryness, redness, and oxidative stress.
Enter Green Tea, the ultimate environmental bodyguard.
From a formulation perspective, Camellia Sinensis is a powerhouse of polyphenols, specifically a catechin called EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate). In the lab, we value Green Tea not just for its soothing reputation, but for its clinical ability to neutralise free radicals—those pesky unstable molecules triggered by pollution and wind that try to break down your skin’s resilience.
Think of it as a microscopic shield. When applied topically, Green Tea helps to inhibit the oxidative stress that can lead to visible texture changes, ensuring your complexion remains calm and defended while the seasons shift.
You’ve likely seen “Green Tea Detox” products all over social media. Let’s set the record straight: your skin doesn’t “detox” through a cream (that’s what your liver and kidneys are for!). However, Green Tea does help regulate sebum production. If the transition to cooler weather usually leaves your T-zone confused and oily while your cheeks feel dry, Green Tea acts as the great equaliser, keeping things balanced without the harshness of traditional “oil-control” ingredients.
Because we hand-make our products, we can infuse them with the care your skin deserves. Here are three ways to introduce this sunshine herb into your daily routine.
Our Autumn Hero
This moisturiser seals in moisture while delivering a concentrated dose of EGCG. It’s lightweight enough for those who dislike heavy creams but powerful enough to act as your “Antioxidant Shield” against the drying autumn air.
Apply desired amount and gently massage into skin.
The “first responder” for thirsty skin.
Infused with antioxidant-rich extract, this mist provides an instant hit of hydration while cooling down any wind-chilled redness. Perfect for a midday desk-side refresh or as a damp base before your serum.
Close eyes and spritz face to nourish & refresh.
The ultimate “fake a good night’s sleep” hack.
These wobbly little hydrogels use Green Tea to help depuff and brighten the delicate under-eye area. We love keeping these in the fridge for a “Cold Shock” treatment that leaves the eyes looking refreshed and wide awake—even on those dark, chilly May mornings.
Place the wider end towards the outer corner of your eye for “Crow’s Feet,” or the inner corner for dark circles.
We believe in skincare that is factual, effective, and kind. No mass manufacturing, just honest ingredients blended by hand to help you feel confident in your own skin.
