I have been drinking white tea (Celestial Seasonings, the white peach and pear ones) every day now since last posting about it on the 13th. I've even stepped it up to 2 cups per day--large mugs (which is how I drink tea anyway).
It really is working.
It doesn't help existing bumps heal faster, at all, that I can see. But--far more importantly--I'm getting fewer bumps/clogged pores to begin with.
I have no idea how this works. Black or green tea does not seem to work. I'd even drunk white tea before--Trader Joe's brand--but then I didn't drink it regularly. That's the thing....
The one aspect the tea people tout about white tea is its high level of anti-oxidants. Fine, but does that mean the free radicals--whatever those really are--are the cause of adult acne?
