We all know that oily skin is an issue with many of us acne sufferers so here is an interesting fact. In many restaurants at Asia, oily finger-food entrees such as deep fried shrimp always comes with a bowl of tea. No, they are not for drinking. Those bowls of tea are actually for you to wash your oily fingers in and they work wonders! So in some way, tea has been shown to contain properties that remove oil.
After drinking two to three cups of green tea everyday for the past few years, my skin texture has improved dramatically. Initially I drank green tea for its fat oxidation benefits but I realized my skin looked a lot better as well after consuming it for a while. There should be no reason that you are not drinking this if you have acne! Not only is it cheap and effective, it is also easy to make and consume. If you can get your hands on the actually green tea leaves then perfect! but I usually use the green tea packets made by Kirkland from Costco.
You can either mix it with hot water or drink it cold (hot is preferable when it comes to tea). Keep in mind that you should avoid any sugary content! Drink them without adding any kind of sweeteners. Have them during breakfast, lunch, and dinner whenever possible and you are good to go!
NOT how you consume green tea!
Yes, tea can do that! It is an astringent so it cuts grease like a soap when applied to the skin. And it cleanses the inside of the body as well as the outside. There's little this wonder drink can't do. --Teaternity
