Green Tea

works really great

After brewing a cup of green tea, use the teabag like an astringent. Wash your face (30 seconds non-stop), pat dry, teabag your face, let it air dry (so your skin soaks it up) while sipping a hot cup of tea. Works almost as well as Sisley brand lotion. It's 100% natural and full of antioxidants that should kill the bacteria. I have greenish-yellow skin with a few pale splotches(from psoriasis) so the green tea evens out my skin tone. When I stopped drinking tea b/c of GERD my acne went nuts. This could have been from lack of antioxidants, stress, or my body being angry at me. By the next day the pimple should have a nice white tip, ready to pop itself or be popped.

The teas are the best things that worked for me. It has lots of antioxidants and things to make you healthy. But I did research and I found out that theres something BETTER than green tea. Theres some tea called Green White tea or just White tea. White tea has more antioxidants in it and the taste is somewhat better but similar to green tea. Oolong tea is the next best thing to the two teas. So much to choose from huh? like many people say, drink at least 3-4 cups or more a day also drink 8cups of water a day Dab the wet tea bag or soak a cotton ball with the brewed tea on ENTIRE face. This will prevent the break outs. Let it soak into your skin. Results are amazing. SmoothSkin! It also Heals scars and whitens skin. Sometimes I buy the teas already made. The best tasting brand with lots of antioxidants, called "Ito En - Green White tea" you can check it out on [link removed]

I used to drink green tea every day and I experienced no benefit whatsoever to my skin--in fact, i'm pretty sure it made my acne worse due to the caffeine (my doctor was the one who actually pointed this out). I don't know what the reviewer down there is talking about when she claims that green tea regulates her hormones...it's far more likely that she stopped breaking out due to the fact that her body finally adjusted to the birth control and hormones her doctor put her on... I like to use it topically, sometimes as a toner, sometimes as a spot treatment. It totally kills the inflammation on your face, which works wonders for any cystic acne you have. Seriously. Have you ever had a big red inflamed pustle/cyst on your face and then had to resort to taking advil to make it less inflamed and noticeable? I have. It totally works, but usually when the advil wears off the cyst blows right back up worse than ever. Green tea is way better, and sometimes it can help them go away or come to a head a lot faster. I'm not sure how it does it, as it causes no irritation whatsoever, but I could swear that it even seems to help dry them out sometimes. Green tea oxidates over the span of hours, so don't bother leaving it around too long. I leave it brewing in a sealed travel mug for a couple of hours and then use it as a toner after washing my face. Then I use it again in the morning (my travel cup is metal and so tightly sealed that it's actually still warm by the AM otherwise I wouldn't use it). Brewing it in boiling water and using longer steeping times increases the polyphenols---though this makes it taste like bitter crap, so keep that in mind if you're going to drink it.

USe It!!! atleast try it and within 2 weeks it will make a difference.

Drink Green Tea. The day after drinking 3 cups: Hey your face looks loads less red today!

I've used green tea topically for the last three months and it has done wonders. A few suggestions: *Use decaf green tea. Caffeine makes acne worse and when you apply caffeinated green tea topically, the caffeine absorbs through the skin. If you are only using it topically, the caffeine provides no benefit at all. *If you're drinking it, also skip the caffeine. *The topical effects and not related to the consumption effects. Green tea works topically whether you drink it or not. *Find a green tea that is decaffeinated naturally, with CO2 not with chemicals. Chemical decaffeination strips out a lot of critical antioxidants. *You can (and probably should) use green tea with benzoyl peroxidize. If I use anything else with BP, in inflames my skin and I break out. That's not the case with green tea, which is extraordinarily anti-inflammatory. *I apply green tea in the morning & night and layer GT over it. In the afternoon, I wash with water and re-apply GT. Works wonder

i think everyone, with or without acne should drink 5-10 mugs a day and rub the teabags on their faces, acne, blemishes all gone and skin is babby-butt soft and glowing. WOW!!! a miracle!!!! please anyone reading this, give green tea a try, for a month and you'll see a difference i'm an addict

Drinking 2 cups a day of green tea (After breakfast/evening). And so far so good. My face is less oily and almost no break out so far. Thank you Allah.

I try to drink three cup a day and for my second cup I rub the tea bags on my face. Works great when used with my acne cream wash
