St Ives’ Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Face Scrub helps unclog pores and clear blackheads. This dermatologist-tested scrub can actually help to clear and soothe your skin, as well as help, reduce redness. An active blemish-fighting ingredient fights the flare-ups, while 100% of natural exfoliants encourage healthier, clearer skin. Green tea is also known to soothe your skin and its antioxidant powers protect it from unfriendly environmental factors and free radicals, both known to age skin. It’s also infused with olive leaf extract which the Egyptians saw as a symbol of heavenly power. And who’d argue with that? The green tea leaves come from China and are processed in the traditional Chinese way. This involves heating them to stop oxidation so they stay that lovely vibrant green color.
