Green Tea

This works great! I drink the tea instead of loading up on just water (which did nothing for my acne) I also bought some green tea pills which I break open mix with water and rub on my face (this is when I REALLY saw a reduction in redness and pimple lifespan) Be careful leavin this on b/c I think it stains my face yellow (not sure though since I am yellow (MAC NC40) it could be I forgot what my natural skintone looked like since I did a Glycolic Peel 30% on way too long and it left me beet red for 2 days. I have also been mixing tea tree oil with noxzema to kill the bacteria (some ppl are allergic to tea tree so be careful) Tea tree works so much better than 5% peroxide for me which made my brown spots darker Recap: Glycolic Peel - deep cleans, dissolves oil, prevents pores from cloggin Tea Tree - Kills bacteria with out killin skin (works great for dandruf 2 Green Tea - antioxident, reduces inflamation/redness, reduces spots after pimple, brightens skin ,

Love it. Natural way to clear skin. I've used SO many products and most of them seemed to make my skin worse. I drink 2-3 cups of green tea a day. Only one cup or none will be caffienated so I don't bounce of the walls :). I rub a bag damped with cold water in the morning and before I go to bed. I used to have an average amount of acne, but now I only get a pimple once and a while. With the help of green tea I get rid of those fast to! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.

I am a 30 year old female, and I have been suffering from acne for a long time, since I was 24 or so. Recently got on Yaz BC and it seemed worse, though really it has been bad for long before that. One day I ran out of my expensive Clinique acne cleanser and picked up something I thought was similar at the drugstore. It was Neutragena Stress Relief Foam, and when I washed my face with it, I noticed immediately it was less red and much more smooth. I read the ingredients and realized it is the green tea in the cleanser. Since then I have gone out and bought tea bags and steep them and apply to my face. It really helps; I feel like I have hope now after nothing working for so long and feeling so so sad and worried about my face!! And something so simple too! Wow.

Hi everyone! Drinking green tea for me is an acquired taste. I personally dont like the bittersweet leafy green taste but I have to admit that it does give my face a natural bright glow; a glow similar to like a person would have after exercising. So despite the taste, I would still drink 2-3 teabags worth daily. I have adult acne meaning I only started to have horrible cystic hormonal acne, lots of whiteheads and noticeable blackheads, tiny bumps and a lot of redness around my T zone and cheeks area in my mid 30s. Prior to that, I had the normal occasional PMS acne from time to time. Otherwise, my skin was spotless, even toned and soft like a baby's bottom. Sun exposure without protection, high stress due to work and unhealthy lifestyle would be the main culprits. So since then I have been making a lot of changes to my skincare regime, doing my own online research and that's how I found this great community website acne.org. to be one of the most useful. Generally imho, the large chunk of acne cure works by fighting from inwards rather than outwards. So eating healthy food and drink is the way to go. Everybody knows drinking a lot of water and liquid is great for our general health. But I didn't know how serious it is until recently that dairy products is not one of them! I love drinking milk and milktea! Well now that I know, that explains a lot! Coming back to green tea. This is the part where I would like to write about caution. The type of green tea that I use and found to be consistently great for my skin is Japanese green tea of the sencha type. Not matcha. Sencha is robust and made of matured tea leaves, exposed to sun (vitamin D). It is also cheaper and affordable for daily consumption. Matcha on the other hand is more delicate and leafs are filtered from the sun to make it greener. While it presumably has more vitamins packed and higher anti oxidants, a quality matcha can cost 3-4 or more times more than sencha. It is pricey and if you can afford it, why not? From my personal experience, drinking matcha for a month did not help my acne. Infact, more huge cystic acne were formed and made it worse. It hurt so much that some it grew so big, it popped on its own, puss and blood were flowing down my cheeks without me realizing. I have never had cystic acne this horrible. Thankfully this happened at home, else it would have been so embarassing in public! Some people mentioned to me, that's the body detoxing and purging the toxins through the skin. I think whatever that was in matcha was too potent for me. Maybe for others it would not be a problem, so I'd say, drink it with caution. I have since stopped drinking matcha and came back to just drinking lots of plain water and lots of sencha. Never fails me in giving the healthy glow that I want. Drinking green tea helps in overall good skin appearance. Try it 2-3 cups, hot or cold, and plenty of water to flush out the toxins, drink daily for a week or so, results are noticeable.

I've been drinking 2-3 cups of decaffeinated green tea every day for the past week and have already seen a huge improvement in my skin. I get less whiteheads and the red spots that I do get are much smaller and less red. The most drastic change however has been the reduced oil production, especially on my forehead which I have experienced. This reduced oil production has subsequently made a HUGE difference to my skin. Some helpful notes that may interest others: +In general, green tea contains a relatively small amount of caffeine (approximately 20-45 milligrams per 8 oz cup), compared with black tea which contains about 50 milligrams and coffee with 95 milligrams per cup. (Source: Medical news today) + Green tea is considered one of the world's healthiest drinks and contains the highest amount of antioxidants of any tea. The natural chemicals called polyphenols in tea are what are thought to provide its anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects.

I have been drinking Green tea almost everyday, 3-5 cups a day. I love the taste of it and I think it helps to calm the redness on my skin down. I think it reduces stress as well and I noticed every time after drinking a cup of tea, I'll "release the bullet."

been through the whole going to the doctors and going on the pill but that seemed to worsen things. i came off the pill back in december, skin was the worse it has ever been, especially on my forhead& chin i was living in australia at the time, the humidity was unbearable& making things worse. moved back to the UK in january , due to air con, climate change, stress and messed up hormones, as well as a dramatic weightloss, my skin looked horrendous! i started on a natural routine, that has been on and off for about 5-6 months. 1. i started drinking more water - and natural teas (dandilion and burdock mostly and chamomile) 2. i used Dr organics tea tree facial wipes( going back to simple products) 3. used non comodegenic concealer ( physicians formula twin concelealer) 4.i would only use aloe vera as moisturiser. 5. cut out diary 6. ate more healty in general (cut out junk food - not entirely- ate more veggies) and my skin looked a lot better, sometimes, but nothing drastic. so i changed it recently and wow im noticing a big difference the aloe vera made me get a lot of blackhead, so i now only using it for dryness around the nose and soothing of tired eyes. the burdock tea actually made my skin worse as it was detoxifying my body too much i wasnt getting vitimins from good food i was eating - so i stopped that the tea tree wipes are great. i remove my makeup with them every night and it works great. the concelaer is so moisterising and not suffocating. it is not seeping in your skin and pores i use a clindomycin antibiotical lotion - cleared my forhead acne, cheek acne. BUT only started drinking green tea a week ago, on my period, WOW - clear skin&complexion, less redness, more awake, its not a miracle, but i do believe along with my other natural ways, green tea will eventually keep my complexion and post acne marks down, aswell as working as an anti i

I had terrible acne on my chin and jaw line and had tried everything (toothpaste,sudocrem,you name it). I was goin insane, so thought i may as well try this as iv tried everything else. Within 2 days my acne had dissappeared. I had a break out yesterday but its because i think i was drinking CAFFEINE green tea so i switched to decaf and now and also its my time of month too. I drink 4-5 cups a day, and i put it on my skin at night and leave it on, i then apply it again in the morning and then just put my normal makeup over it. It tighten my skin, and makes my skin glow. This stuff is a MIRACLE!! But do use the decaf tea!!!

I have been using green tea all around to clear up my acne, and it has worked better than anything ive tried. I drink about 2 glasses a day. I rub green tea extract on my face everyother day and let it dry as a mask (you can get extract from a vitamin store) and simply wash it off, and rub a warm tea bag on my face after i have used an everyday cleaner. I have tried everything, proactive, skin ID, neutragina, and nothing worked. But with masking with the Green Tea Extract, the next morning i woke up and nearly half my face was cleared up. Within the month a full face of acne has dwindled down to just a few. I would highly suggest using the green tea! And it is also VERY cheap! ~If you have any questions, contact me at Whozepbeat@[link removed]

yesterday I started drinking a couple glasses of green tea, and saving some and putting it in a spray bottle with raw honey and ACV and spritzing it on. I noticed while it was on, my face looked fresh and hydrated. I had to keep doing this to maintain the effect. Last night, I brewed 3 bags of green tea (one of them grapefruit green tea) and one bag of chamomile (great calming effects) and drank it and used as a toner. Then, I opened the tea bags and took out the leaves (they should be moist but not too wet) and mixed it with equal parts RAW honey. Then smeared it on my face and went to bed. It is a tad difficult to sleep as you have to lie on your back or it will fall off and make a mess BUT worth it. Woke up in the morning, rubbed it off, and was amazed- redness 90% reduced, everything shrinking, nothing new, great tone, smaller pores, less bumps.... do it
