Green Tea

I suffered from acne since junior high. I have tried every products out there, but none works for me until i went to vietnam for a vacation and stayed with my aunt, who loves green tea very much. Even though i'm not a big fan of green tea, I drank it for 1 month to replaced water and other soft drink. I noticed the big difference after 1 week, but I didn't think that green tea was the key that lighten up my acne instead I thought maybe it's the weather and climate over in Asia that caused my skin to react differently. When I came back to the state, I stopped drinking green tea and started to break out again. I thought to myself is it really the climate or it something I ate or drink? Green tea was the first thing in my head. I went to walmart and bought a pack of lipon greentea. After drinking it for a week, I can see the difference in my skin. It got better. I also used green tea as a mask and toner as well. I finally found something like works for me! hopefully it will stay that way!! :D

When I was younger, I use to hate the taste of green tea. This year, I thought "I don't have to drink it.. I can just use it on my skin!" I had read so many good reviews of green tea on this site, youtube, etc. Even if it didn't help my acne, green tea was still good for my body and health! There was nothing to lose. I've been using green tea for a few months, on and off. When I used green tea, my skin was glowing, smooth, even-toned, clear and beautiful. When I got off using green tea, it became dull, big break outs formed, red blotchiness and bumpy. Now that I've switched back, my skin instantly became better in 2 days! I am amazed. How I use it: I take a packet of green tea and brew it in a cup. Then, I cool it and put it into a small container. Using a cotton ball, soak it with the green tea and use it as you would a toner. I use it morning and night. Also, drinking green tea will help as well! (Not to mention it raises your metabolism which helps you lose weight).

I read somewhere that for irritated skin if you get a bag of green tea, dip it in warm water as if you were making tea and then put the warm water on a wash cloth and lay it on your face. My skin gets irritated some times because i pick at it for poping pimples a lot so when that happens i always do this method and i really works! hope i helped :)

So I have the typical acne story, I've tried EVERYTHING! I had given up, putting it down to college stress, being young etc. but then when I graduated college, I decided enough was enough, I'm too old for this and it was time to get rid of my acne for good. I read about green tea and immediately started drinking 2-3 cups a day. (My mam already had some at home which was handy!) I also topically apply a teabag to my affected areas once a day and use it as a toner morning and night. It's only been a week and I can already see great results, my skin feels much smoother and I have way less (and smaller) breakouts, which fade quicker. I still have a long way to go to curing my acne but this is definitely a great start, I'm delighted to finally be getting some results and today I switched my cleanser to La Roche Posay Foaming Cleansing Gel in the hope that this will also help (It's gotten some great reviews) but basically you should definitely try green tea because even if it doesn't work for you, it is very cheap, healthy and doesn't have any nasty side effects. I 100% recommend this. Try it! :)

Im one of thoses people who have tried EVERY brand, so about a month ago, i gave up and just exfoliate in the morning, use cream spot wash at night, drink LOTS of water and have a cup of green tea a day, and my skin allready is brighter and spot free! I recomend this very much to all those people who give up on brands! it works:)!xxxx

It's great for you skin and is a very healthy drink, helps my skin in a lot of ways. As long as i drink it my skin doesn't look bad or breakout much at all. Very easy way to get healthy happy skin. It won't give you a dramatic change right away it'll take a couple weeks, 2 or 3, but its well worth it!

Green tea has amazing health benefits. It's extremely easy to make. I've noticed that when I forget to drink green tea for a few days that my skill looker duller and I break out more.

I really only like drinking chilled green tea in the hot months because it's very refreshing. I buy the Limpton Green Tea which is pretty good and brew my own at home. I usually make a quart at a time and sweeten it with a few teaspoons of sugar and that's it. I feel like drinking this makes my acne breakouts worse, possibly because of the caffeine content, or maybe it's causing my skin to become worse BEFORE it gets better. I'll continue drinking it for a few more weeks but if my skin continues to break out like this I'll have to stop.

I've only been drinking this for a week but i can already see vast improvements to my skin. Thumbs up for this product guys... you'll be sorry if you don't try it!!

You have to give it at;east 1-2 months! I've read here people didn't see improvements and they only tried it for a week? I honestly can't believe it, my friend said 'ugh this is horrible, do you want it?' A box of lipton caffinated green tea, I said 'sure, i'll try it'....amazingly within a week I really noticed more energy/ alertness, better sleep, so i googled green tea and people said its good for acne/ digestion (which we all know the insides are linked to the outside). Its been a month now of atleast 3-4 cups a day, yes I use the same tea bag twice, I like it! I also like yogi green tea. For some reason it just works, I usually breakout like a 12 year old 1 week before mother nature starts and WOW! I saw maybe 3-4 tiny things that resemble hope and not a crying spell that I usually get, don't want to leave the house and feel so ugly and I really cannot believe it, my face is actually acceptable! no new fierce breaouts, no big horrid blotches, my skin in slightly less oily, its some kind of miracle. Ok, I will honestly give it another month, if the before and during my cycle I am this clear (70-80%) I will jump for joy and update you all!!!! I do use BP at night every other night now, whereas before I used it x2 daily, and only lightly. Please I beg you all, go and buy a box for $3 and try it!!!!! Please! If you hate the taste, take it weak at first, or chill it in the fridge (no need to boil, just put the bag in cold water and poke it!) But try and drink it 3-4 times a day because I have seen results. Don't give up !!!!
