"Researches into health benefits of green tea constantly yield new discoveries.
A US new research suggests that catechin found in green tea is a powerful antioxidant. The application of skincare products containing the green tea component would be able to reduce peroxide, which causes sunburn and makes skin loose and coarse, by 1/3, even with exposure to strong sunlight.
The University of Alabama in the US started its research on green tea and sun proof in 2001. The researchers have discovered that the ultraviolet in sunlight stimulates skin to produce excessive amount of peroxide, making skin coarse and lost its elasticity.
Scientists asked one group of volunteers to apply catechin extracted from green tea and another only placebo then exposed both groups under strong sunlight. The result showed that the ones applied catechin had peroxide reduced by 1/4 to1/3 in their skin, showing lighter damage by the sun and proving the sun proof property of the component in green tea.
There is also another research suggesting sun proof effect remains the same whether one only drinks green tea or applies green tea skincare products."

Near the beginning it should be "New research in the US..." The end of the third paragraph should be "... and lose its elastivity." The first sentence of the second last paragraph should be "... and anothe rplacebo..."

On second read, the line "making skin coarse and lose its elasticity" would sound better as "causing skin to become coarse and lose its elasticity." That one was troubling me before and I just thought of a more elegant sentence for it now.
