Many spas have developed spa treatments which utilize tea's high level of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which may reduce abnormal cell growth and inflammation and help the body fight cancer-causing agents, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Green Tea Mud Mask: Purify the skin with a treatment, summoning the detoxifying properties of green tea. Begin with a light dry-brush exfoliation followed by an application of green tea mud. Special attention is given to cellulite-prone areas. Warm rain from the Vichy shower massages away the mud, and a finishing green tea sprits leaves the skin refined and silky smooth.
