Natural Acne Remedy: Why Does Green Tea Get Rid Of Acne?

Chinese and Japanese have long been heavy drinkers of green tea, the Japanese even more than the Chinese. The Japanese are among the most long-lived people in the world, something which popular science attributes to their diet of fresh fish. It is true that fish is rich in the Omega oils, which helps to reduce the effects of bad cholesterol. But I believe that the large amounts of tea drunk by both Chinese and Japanese is another contributing factor. Certainly, medical researchers into anti-oxidants have found some suggestive evidence to support this idea – tea, especially green tea, is high in anti-oxidants.

So, what does this have to do with acne care treatment? Well, foods rich in anti-oxidants have been shown to be very beneficial to health. Simply put, if you drink lots of green tea, your overall health (including your skin’s health) will be much improved. In other words, more tea equals less acne!

However, there is another factor that has not been studied by Western science – the fact that tea helps to eliminate the oiliness in the food we eat. This is a reason that my Chinese friends and colleagues choose to drink tea with their meals (especially greasy foods). Why does this matter? Because greasy foods contribute to acne – anything you do that gets rid of the greasiness in your food will help to reduce the outbreak of pimples on your face.

What evidence do I have? Only have the evidence of my own body. My office regularly calls for take-out from Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut to celebrate the successful end of our projects. We also call for take-out when we rush for deadlines and have to stay late at the office. If I don’t drink lots of tea (at least 3 cups) with my fried chicken (Yum!), I’ll wake up the next day with large painful pimples, complete with pus and all.

Overall, I find that when I drink more tea, I get fewer pimples, and they are smaller and less painful. Will green tea be an effective natural acne remedy for you? I don’t know, but tea bags are cheap, so it is worth a try, don’t you think so?
