Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced age spots caused by overexpression of melanin, some scientists suggested.
People with a light complexion and lots of sun exposure over the years are found to associate with higher prevalent risk.
The results of this investigation were carried out by some worldwide institutes, including the Chongqing Institute of Forensic Science.
You can view the publication through some online medical literature if you want to know more about these subjects.
An age spot is the overexpression of skin pigment on the surface of the skin, probably caused by Skin aging, sun exposure, or other forms of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure,...
Age spots may also be caused by a hormone imbalance in the induction of increased production of melanin, which is responsible for darkening the skin.
Green tea is a precious drink that processed a number of health benefits and is known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In the investigation of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), used as a constituent of cosmetic products, researchers found that the application of EGCG exerts a significant effect as an antioxidant in exhibited anti-pigmentation properties.
Through measuring hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) and hyaluronidase (HYAL) gene expression, EGCG also promoted skin hydration, through increased expression of the natural moisturizing factor-related gene, including Hyaluronan synthase (HAS)-1, and (HAS)-2.
HA, synthase enzymes (HAS) a molecule with the function of synthesized hyaluronan (HA) plays an essential role in protecting skin fibroblasts against apoptosis, due to environmental stress exposure.
Hyaluronidase ((HYAL) is an enzyme that cleaves HA.
In UVB irradiation conditions, the application of EGCG protected the expression of decreased levels of HYAL found in all tissues with 50% present in skin, thus reducing HaCaT cell's information of free radicals and decreased cell viability.
Melanin is produced in melanocytes, underexposure UVB irradiation with an aim to protect skin cells against UVB radiation damage.
Years of frequent and prolonged sun exposure and overexpression of melanin may induce aging spot
In other words, EGCG not only exhibited a strong effect in reduced over-secretion of melanin but also enhanced cells integrity against forming of the aging spots due to exposure to UVB irradiation
HaCaT widely used in scientific research of the epidermis is a spontaneously immortalized human keratinocyte cell line isolated from adult human skin.
Dr. Kim E, the lead author said, "EGCG might be used as a cosmetic ingredient with positive effects on skin hydration, moisture retention, and wrinkle formation, in addition to radical scavenging activity and reduction of melanin generation".
Furthermore, in confirmation of green tea efficacy in reduced overexpression of skin pigment by evaluating the fatty acids contents in the green tea oil, researchers indicated that all 3 major fatty acids isolated from the oil were oleic acid (87.93±0.19%), stearic (5.14±0.06%) and palmitic (5.08±0.12%) acids.
A single application of each fatty acid demonstrated strong protection of the cell viability through their antioxidant activity.
Moreover, the antioxidant activity of 3% tea seed oil exerted greater cellular protection with cell viability of 90.38±7.77% in comparison to other concentrations.
Some researchers suggested that green tea polyphenols and theophylline as polyphenol nanoparticles (PNs) may reduce skin aging through the nanoparticle formation process involving copolymerization of monomers through exhibiting its free radicals scavenging activities.
Taking all together, green tea and its bioactive compound such as EGCG may be used as a natural and functional food for reduced overexpression of melanin and skin pigment in the induction of age spots.
