Green Tea

This made me feel really good and I know green tea is good for your body and helps with cancer and stuff so I'm going to try to drink it as much as possible. But I was told only to get the really good stuff and it got too expensive to use 3 teabags a day so I've had to cut back. I did notice a difference in my skin. My acne was still there but the pimples didn't seem so angry.... I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be healthier in general and probably help their skin too

I've been drinking green tea now for about a month. 3/10oz cups of unsweetened warm Japanese green tea. Saw reduction of pimples and redness in about 10 days. Noticed a drastic reduction in redness at about a month.Cyst acne doesn't get quite as inflamed.(Do not pick at it!) Worth a try, I'd say my acne reduced by about 30% overall and redness reduced by about 50%. I'd strongly suggest using the tea in combo with a gentle cleanser (basis bar..etc), slightly warm water and no topical toners with alcohol. My acne and the associated overall redness improved when I stopped using so many chemicals and was gentle with my skin. You'll probably have similar results.

I have been drinking 5-6 cups of green tea, as well as applying it directly to my skin, for about a week and a half. I was seeing results by the third day. Normally when I have one of those big puss-filled pimples, it takes weeks before it is gone and the red mark it leaves behind is gone. With this treatment, it took a day or two for the pimple to be gone, and the scar faded in another day or two. I've also noticed I have had little to no new pimples form in the time that I've been using green tea. Green tea is incredibly healthy and inexpensive. I wish I had tried this treatment 8 years ago - I've been on (and am currently on) so many prescriptions for my acne, none of which has done more than an average job of helping out my acne. The difference in my skin quality in about 10 days is incredible. If you don't like the taste of green tea, get over it. This is such a simple, worthwhile, and healthy treatment. On a side note, I used to be addicted to coffee, but ever since I started drinking green tea (the decaffeinated kind!) I haven't found coffee as appealing and I've felt pretty energetic. This would be a good thing to try if you are trying to reduce the amount of caffeine you drink.

I am 38 and have suffered from acne on & off from the age of about 13.It carried on throughout my twenties & stopped for a while when i had a baby then came back.Anyway i have probably been prescribed most of the oral & topical antibiotics available over the years.Some have been fantastic and i have had months where my skin is clear.But it always seem to come back.From my mid thirties my face seem to clear up and i very rarely get any bad spots on my face.My neck and jaw where a different matter however. They just seem to be constantly covered in cystic type acne which was so bad i found it hard to sleep at times.After going back to the gp i was given a 6 month course of lymecycline.It improved it a lot but it started to come back in a milder form after a few months.After a lot of my own research i am sure i have hormonal acne as it seems to flare up for a few days each month then subsides!I hated lymecycline as it really made me feel ill & as someone who dosen,t even like taking painkillers i have tried various herbal remedies.Most have had no effect until i read a article on acne.einstein about hormonal acne & how green tea can balance your hormones.I was a bit sceptical but starting drinking 4 cups each day a few months ago.I buy a decent green tea from my local health shop & i have to drink decaffeinated as the normal green tea gave me a headache.Apart from the odd pimple my neck has really cleared up & i rarely get any acne on my jawline now.I have also noticed that my complexion is a lot calmer in general as i have sensitive skin which is quite itchy normally.And the odd time that i do get a flare up on my neck i use one of the warm teabags and wipe it over my skin.Within a couple of hours it has calmed down.So i cant praise green tea enough.To be honest i am not a fan of the taste,but for clear skin it is worth it.I drink normal tea in the morning with milk as i really miss not having that.But then throughout the day i make sure i have at least 4 cups of green tea.So i really hope it continues to work.

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! :)

Ok I've had acne since I've been 15. I can remember the first pimple I got back when i was in Freshman in High School, all the way up to just a few weeks ago. I tried Just about everything. Prescription medication, different facial washes, Retina A differen etc...there all junk to me, in my opinion. Than I stumbled upon this whole green tea thing. I've been drinking 3 cups a day for about a month or so. At first, I broke out from it? Figured it was just another wasted attempt at beating acne. But I stuck with it. After about a month I can't believe the results. I usually break out with acne on my chin, and whiteheads across my mouth and cheek areas. That is COMPLETELY stopped in its tracks. I have had 2 microscopic whiteheads in the last 3 weeks, and they were right along my sunglasses line. I also drink a TON of water, eat tons of fruits and veggies, and stay away from Pop, Candy, Junk Food etc. Enough rambling. If you haven't tried this. PLEASE do. You have nothing to lose but a few dollars if you absolutely dislike it. I drink the non decaffeinated version as well. I will drink this stuff for the rest of my life. I only wish I could have stumbled upon it sooner. Good Luck Everyone.

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).

Green tea is a cheap way to clear acne I drink 3 cups a day and put it on my face at night. Green tea also gives me more energy in the morning.

Green Tea is Really good for your skin, and i didnt think of trying it until, i finally got sick of seeing acne and my acne scars. So i bought these Expensive cleansers and acne treatments, they suck. I Ended up using green tea, just warm it up and i drink it up, and then the bag shouldnt be so hot right now, so i get it and glide and slide it all around my face, its a good idea to let the smoke/heat from your tea at first to open you pores. Then it feels nice. Well i normally do that in the day or afternoon, but the best thing is you can do this day or noon, and at night you should use lemon juice:) Which is a really good combination for healthy glowing natrual skin, and its very inexpensive:) and WooHoo Your skin will be Awesome:D ....You should buy teas that are more herbal and not like lipton, countrything, and that. Buy like more...herbal... If you dont know the lemon Trick Look it up:)
