Green Tea - An Effective Acne Remedy
Green Tea has proven to be a good remedy for acne. Medical studies show that green tea is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide (an ingredient found in many over-the-counter acne treatments) and with out the side effects, green tea is also inexpensive, and can be found in health and nutrition stores, on the internet, and in certain grocery stores in the “tea” or the “natural foods” sections.
Many acne sufferers swear by green tea as “the ultimate natural acne cure”. In fact, just drinking the tea has been known to clear acne in some cases. Green tea is also a great treatment for eczema and skin problems in general.
The Key is This: The best results for curing acne include applying green tea to your face, and any other acne areas - and also drinking green tea 2 to 3 times a day. After you finish drinking the tea, dab the tea bag on acne areas, or use a cotton ball to apply the tea. You don’t have to wash it off right away - you can leave it on your skin.
