Apply green tea to your skin
Pros: easy to make, a variety of benefits, natural
Cons: not enough studies done
Green tea is very high in antioxidants, and drinking it can promote good health. It may also help reduce acne.
According to 2017 research, this is likely because the polyphenols in green tea help fight bacteria and reduce inflammation, which are two main causes of acne.
There isn’t much research exploring the benefits of drinking green tea when it comes to acne, and more studies are needed.
In a small 2016 study with 80 women, participants took 1,500 mg of green tea extract daily for 4 weeks. By the end of the study, women who took the extract had less acne on their noses, chins, and around their mouths.
Applying green tea to the skin may also be beneficial.
A 2020 study found that applying green tea extract to the skin significantly reduces sebum production and pimples in those with acne.
You can buy creams and lotions that contain green tea, but it’s just as easy to make your own mixture at home.
How to
Steep green tea in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes.
Allow the brewed tea to cool.
Using a cotton ball, apply the tea to your skin or pour it into a spray bottle to spritz it on.
Allow it to dry, then rinse it off with water and pat your skin dry.
