Green tea has been largely recognized in many Asian cultures for centuries and years before.  It has been used in traditional medicine and more recently it has been used in Western medicine.  But one of the things it has been used to do quite recently is to prevent aging and also to prevent scarring and skin damage in general such as age spots.  It is a powerful antioxidant blend, and it can obviously kill off free radicals, which means that it kills off many of the things actually causing premature aging in the first place. 

It has also been used to reduce puffy eyes or bags under the eyes.  After all, it also works as an antiseptic and reduces inflammation which calms the eyes in general.  Cold tea bags can easily be replaced to a larger degree, and they have been used to treat problems around the eyes in general while preventing future problems as a whole.  This natural treatment is sometimes combined with other treatments.  But in large part, it is actually used on its own.  So in short, you can use it for many skin problems as a whole to get the benefits you are really looking for.
