Green Tea

i started exercising daily ...while drinking around 3-4 cups of green tea daily ....washing my face only twice a day ... eating mostly healthy food.... not stressing at all about my mild acne ... alhamdulillah .... it helped me a lot ...

PUT IT ON YOUR FACE. IT WORKS LIKE NOTHING ELSE! Gives your skin a nice smooth and tanned look. You can actually feel it tightening the pores as it dries.

I only recently heard of the benefits for the complexion after being a long time tea-lover. I typically drink a lot of green tea during the day, between a half and a full gallon, and save the bags, keeping them moist and in the fridge. Shortly before bed, I take the bags and use them as if they were astringent pads, giving a concentrated amount of tea on my face. The results, for me, are hard to specify, due to the fact that I am currently using a Duac antibiotic gel and Retin-A Micro to control breakouts, but what I can say is that after applying the green tea to my face, my naturally oily skin becomes quite smooth and dry, without becoming too dry. This result is quite appealing, and regardless of whether it quells breakouts, I would highly recommend using it in this manner simply as a means to reduce the perils of an oily complexion, which I used to battle by using astringent several times a day, which can be quite brutal on the skin (drying out and sensitivity).

For people with Light to Moderate acne, I suggest you take about 1-2 cups of hot or cold green tea (not the grocery store kind too much sugar. Warm up some water with green tea in it and then chill it with ice in a glass). For Severe acne, I suggest taking 3-4 cups of Green tea, also hot or chilled. For me in a time interval of 2 hours of drinking green tea, the redness in my face began to automatically go down and my face wasn't as puffy. I have SEVERE acne for a little asian girl... Pizza Face, is my nickname - But when I used Green tea the swelling and pain of my inflamed pimples went down dramatically. I highly recommend if your face is inflamed with acne to cool it with ice and the right amount of green tea. It worked wonders for me - and I only tried 3 cups today and in 2 hours - BANG - the swelling is reduced. I'll continue to use this product along with other medications - Its worth it! GREEN TEA - the wonder drink!

i wash my face and then dry it and then rub my face with the tea bag. i drink the tea while i let the tea (from the tea bag) dry on my face. however, sometimes i can only do this at night because it leaves a greenish tinge on my skin (but i do leave it on in the day as long as i'm not going anywhere).

Green tea is great. I drink it three times a day after every meal (it can cause acid reflux if you drink it on empty stomach). Probably any loose tea (not in tea bags) will work but I have been drinking Gyokuro (probably the most expensive but I buy Chinese, which is cheaper) and Thai Nguyen (Vietnamese, cheap but good quality). I take a table spoon per cup, let it steep in 80 °C water for 20 minutes. Put tea in and let it cool in a teapot, no need to keep it on a stove to keep it at 80 °C. The taste will be bitter but once you get used to it, it is actually very pleasing. If the bitterness is unbearable either the temperature was too high or the tea is bad quality (or maybe you just need to get used to it). Although the tea helps greatly I'd like to note that only after removing gluten from my diet my acne disappeared altogether.

You should drink it anyway, great for skin,heart and body in general!

Green Tea is an antioxidant. SO it def. helps with acne. Within the first week i noticed a difference. It is a cheap, safe, and natural way to help you look and feel better about yor skin!

You need to give it at least 2-4 weeks before you start to see results. I use a loose leaf tea because tea shop owners are often very knowledge and can help you pick the right kind for you. I use Superior Grade Sencha. 1 teaspoon per cup. I drink 2-4 cups and I use a French Press to steep and strain the leaves. I make 2 cups in the a.m. which makes 1 mug full. I also put loose leaf Rosehips in as well as they are rich in Vitamins A,D and E. Which I'm sure you all know are beneficial to acne sufferers. To make 2 cups I use 1 1/2 teaspoons of green tea and 1/2 teaspoon of Rosehips. Most quality loose leaf green teas are caffeinated so to remove caffeine from your tea, simply pour boiling water over the loose-leaf tea leaves in your teapot, allow the tea to steep for 30 seconds, and then discard the liquid. Use the same tea leaves with fresh hot water to brew a close to fully decaffeinated cup of tea for drinking. Also try Rooibos tea, all the benefits of green tea without t

I have mild-moderate acne. I've been suffering from acne for almost 2 years. I've tried over the counter products (Proactive,Neutrogena,Pills..etc. You name it..)Even my dermatologist was starting to give up on me. Spent hundreds of dollars. But I found about Green tea. It works wonders! I drink about 3-4 cups a day. I recommend the decaffeine kind. One in the morning, afternoon and right before I sleep. After drinking a cup (I only do this in the morning&right before bed) I take out the leaves inside the bag. I know it sounds a bit weird but it works. And I gently rub the leaves into my skin, kinda like a cleanser and then wash it off with warm water and dry off with a towel(Don't use the white kind). My skin feels so much smoother and less oily. Good luck!
