Green Tea

I drank 3 cups a day for 3 months. I didn't see any improvements.

I reside in Bangladesh where I can only find these brands- Twinings, Lipton. Can anyone tell me if twinings/lipton help? TIA

search for the 'gun powder' Chinese tea, it's the most effective one. 2 cups a day worked for me.

I have incorporated drinking green tea two times a day in addition to distilled water and my morning starbucks coffee. For the past YEAR or so, I have been suffering with hormonal acne. I noticed that I break out more during the winter because in the summer I tan regularly and my skin clears. Because of the embarrassing outbreaks which have made me extremely self conscious, I decided to take drastic measures without going to the dermatologist. I googled and googled holistic acne remedies and I have used a combination of things to bring my inflammation down. My skin is not perfect and not where I want it to be but it has only been two weeks and it is looking WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than it did last month. I will admit I was eating bad, and had a semi crisis within my family which caused HIGH level of stress and made my inflammation WORSE. Green Tea is not the ALL END to acne, IT IS ONE STEP. Green Tea is an overall HEALTH benefit, but definitely helps with skin. This is what I drink: -1 Grande REGULAR COFFEE w/soy milk From Starbucks. (NO SUGAR, NO NOTHING) Occasionally I add cinnamon. Coffee helps you poop. Do not add sugar. I sometimes brew my own ORGANIC COFFEE. -Juice either beets or spinach- Mix with green apple. -1 to 2 cups of ORGANIC GREEN TEA W/HONEY -Drink DISTILLED WATER through the DAY -TAKE WHOLEFOOD MULTI-VITAMIN, 1 ZINC, 1VITAMIND, 1 VITAMIN A with a meal -Drink 1-2 Cups of DECAF Green Tea at night. I do not take the vitamin A everyday. (codliver oil) I alter with flax seed oil at night sometimes. All my vitamins come from Whole Foods and are "food based". When I am not being lazy, I will juice celery and mix it with orange juice. I try to eat an avocado a day. I also mix a avocado /banana and make mask and let it sit on my face . As you can see, I use a wide range of methods. The key is to be consistent. Within the last two weeks, my acne has cleared up and confident it will be completely clear by the end of this month. The key are the vitamins and organic FRESH FRUITS AND VEGGIES. The bottom line is, YES GREEN TEA WORKS. Incorporate this INEXPENSIVE herb into your diet NOW! One more thing, My was regime--I wash my face with olive oil and/or coconut oil at night. Sleep with coconut oil and/add retina A and your skin will love you!

Drink it straight or with natural lemon juice in it. Keep it clean and healthy no added sugar and it should do the trick

I have been using loose leaf green tea as a face wash/toner for about a year and I couldn't be happier! I have extremely sensitive skin, it reacts to everything, even sensitive skin products I've purchased from my dermatologist. That being said, I've done my fair share of research and knowing the benefits of drinking green tea I figured its natural and safe to use on my skin. Gave it a chance and I've never looked back. I would definitely suggest giving it a try my face has never felt/looked better. Like anything, you have to give it a chance to work. If after a month you don't notice a change, you can still use the product so its not a waste of money. I use QUO's facial sponge to wash and if I feel like I need to give my face a good scrub (especially after a workout) I use QUO's scrub pad with the green tea and it works like a facial scrub would minus the harsh chemicals!

Im Chinese so my family drinks green tea all the time. I don't think drinking green tea help alot with my face. Actually maybe. No one in my family ever got acne, THEN I CAME ALONG. I got pimples here, and there. Then I broke out. My acne is light-moderate. I continue to drink green tea. Its like a substitute for water. I use the egg white mask, then I mix some green tea leaves with water to rinse off the egg whites. It works ! I've been using it for a week now and my skin is not nearly clear, but Its amazing !!

Its good and you should at least try it out. Try for at least 3 cups a day. You'll get used to the taste after a while. If you're concerned about staining your teeth, drink it with a straw.

Been drinking green tea for two weeks now! Love the way it makes me feel. I replaced diet coke with green tea and water. As well as drinking it, I create a mask by breaking open the tea bag and mixing the leaves with cetaphil face moisturizer. Lather it on my face for an hour nightly and my face is so smooth. It's amazing!!! My skin needs a bit of TLC after using differin.

you need to start drinking green tea. not only have numerous studies proven the health benefits that green tea provides but it is also suppose to speed up your metabolism. as well as this green tea is a natural diuretic which means it cleans out all the nasty stuff inside of you. it helps make your skin feel fresh and gives you a boost of energy throughout the day. i have been using this product for about 3 months and i cant say that it is a miracle cure (i still get some pimples, especially along my jaw line) but it does have its benefits. there are really no draw backs on drinking green tea except for you may have some staining on your teeth. anyways i would say you might as well give this product a try because not only does it make my skin look fresh and bright but its health benefits are beyond wonderful. get it.
