Green Tea

Green tea does work well with clearing up your skin, but don't expect green tea to solve all your facial problems by itself. I have tried every acne product on the market and even went to a skin specialist and nothing worked. Then I began to change my diet. I stop drinking soda, I started working out more, and I add things like zinc, vitamin E, A, C, and B-Complex, and Fish Oil (which is also great for ance) to my daily diet. My skin started to look a lot better, but I still had problems. Then I started drinking green tea and the green tea is really starting to clear up those last few skin problems. So if green tea doesn't work, maybe you need to look at your diet because that is what I had to do. Those acne products don't work if your diet is all wrong. I digress, green tea is wonderful, but it can't solve all your skin problems by itself.

Green tea has significantly reduced my acne. I don't think it's the green tea alone though--when I drink it, it makes me feel healthier, and that has inspired me to clean up my diet and simplify my skincare system. I do two things: I drink two pots of strong (two teabags each) green tea (organic, caffeinated, flavored or not depending on whether I want to use teabags topically) and then I rub the unflavored teabags on my skin in the morning to wash my face. I then put on a serum and moisturizer. I don't drink or use the decaffeinated kind, because green tea is pretty low in caffeine already, and I try to avoid any extra processing I can. My skin has gone from moderate to light acne because of the green tea (and subsequent diet and lifestyle changes). I find the best kind is the Japanese organic green tea. I've noticed it seems to be the best kind to rub on my skin. Best thing is, I didn't have an initial breakout!

i started drinking maybe around 3 to 4 cups of green tea a day hoping it would help with my the acne i do get once in a while. On top of that, i would swish around the tea bag all around my face, and let the bag sit there for 10 minutes. This was 3 weeks ago. Since than i've been very happy with the results, my skin is brighter and smoother and havent had any new breakouts! The tea bag applied topically has gotten rid of most of my acne, and the best part i feel really healthy! Im not saying you're acne will go away in like 10 seconds, cause it wont. But you'll see results with in a week or so. Definitely recommend it, worth a shot (: ! <3

I was drinking green tea with orange (Lipton I think) and I was bored so I rubbed the tea bag on my face. The next morning my acne was better- not a lot but I only used it once, so if you use it more it would be better.

completely love it <3 i drink it and even put it on my skin ,.,i always drink it with natural honey which is way better than sugar ,.,who knew the natural way is better ,.,i began researching for better and natural ways to get rid of acne and green tea is one of them ,,.also putting tomato directly on the skin helps so much ,.,.but my most favorite is Potato! i know weird huh ,.,.i peel the skin off the potato then cut it in pieces put it on the blender and it will look like paste ,.,and put it directly on my skin like a facial mask,.,.using this also helped me so much.,. no more annoying acne .,.,p.s. green tea and potatoes are so good to get rid of acne scars =)

I love love love this method. I have researched this way for quite awhile and two days ago I decided to try it. Let me tell you, my face feels and looks incredible compared to where I started. It's smooth and redness has gone down tremendously. Its a real confidence booster knowing this way to clear skin and I'm hooked for life. It's cheap and easy and makes a great improvement both inside and out as long as you drink it too. But if you do drink it I suggest mixing in honey or sugar cause it doesn't taste too great. But yeah, I'm 14 and I love it:)

Absolutely worth it. It's an essential for me and I drink it every day. See for yourself, it has so many health benefits and makes your skin feel fresh.

I am currently in my 2nd month of Accutane and am still completely broken out. I am getting huge red pimples that are inflamed and filled with pressure almost every day. Desperate, I read about green tea helping to reduce inflammation so I bought some Lipton Green Tea and have drank one cup for the last 3 mornings. I noticed a huge improvement in my skin by the second day. I have not gotten any new large pimples since I started drinking it. I am definitely goignt oincrease how much I am drinking and try rubbin the tea bag on my face as others have mentioned.

i have only been using it for a couple hours and i have already had such an improvement. when i got home from school my skin felt dirty, oily, and just horribly uncomfortable. as i ran my fingers on my face it felt bumpy and gross. i suffer from moderate acne but since the past couple hours my skin looks already a lot better. it feels smoother and the huge pimple i had on my chin just this morning is almost gone. i feel a lot more comfortable in my skin and i really do have a lot of hopes for this. by drinking 1 cup of tea and by rubbing the warm tea bag all over my face i was able to achieve this. i plan on doing this 2 times a day (or more) and hopefully my skin will look clearer. of course it all depends on an individual person's skin but whatever. good luck, acne sufferers! you're almost at the clear. [haha, acne joke.]

Don't drink green tea more than 3 cups daily, otherwise it'll be toxic. Too much caffeine and antioxidants are not good for you. I usually have matcha (Japanese green tea) in the morning, Chinese green before lunch, and american (i think lol) green tea in the afternoon. Oh yeah, one more tip, don't drink green tea or water when you eat. And I also brew green tea in the morning, put it in the small bottle (don't pour it when it's still hot), and use it as a toner. After that, put organic aloe vera gel to moisture skin. The aloe gel works amazingly! When looking for aloe vera gel, make sure if it's organic and doesn't contain too many preservatives. Don't buy it at CVS, buy it at organic stores. One more thing, I just found out (I'm pretty sure), the major cause of acne is stress. I've been living stress-free for a while now, and it helps me clear my skin. when I feel anxious, I usually take 100mg of magnesium, safer way than the anti-anxiety pills. btw, m
