The Lipstick Page Forums Beauty Blog: White tea seems to be helping my acne White tea seems to be helping my acne Posted by Colleen Shirazi, Monday, June 13, 2005 12:56 PM (Eastern) Well, if anyone can do it, you can do it. I can't. I'm next to smell-blind, in the same way that I'm not artistic, generally speaking. Now about the white tea. This is coincidence, but I bought some Celestial Seasonings White Tea (here is the tea page at the Celestial Seasonings site...no affiliation) at a health food store, drank a cup of it a few nights straight, and my (adult acne) skin seemed noticeably better. I thought, bleh, whatever...because with adult acne, it's usually difficult to pinpoint one factor that makes your skin better or worse. But I did have the thought to drink more of this stuff during my placebo week of Yasmin. Why not? It couldn't hurt. My skin really was better, this placebo week. In fact toward the end, when typically my skin would really start to feel the placebo week, I forgot I was on placebo week. It was that good. I have both the Peach and the Pear versions of this (naturally, one works as well as the other). And they're both delicious, considering I'm a coffee drinker not a tea drinker. (Note: white tea contains caffeine.) Now, I am a little excited, of course (adult acne sufferers know this feeling). But I DON'T want to present this as a cure for acne. It isn't. And I doubt drinking tons of this stuff will "cure" your acne either. (Adult acne sufferers have a tendency to seek miracle cures.) This is one small thing that I've tried that shows results. It's coming after I overhauled my diet and changed my birth control. I've tried green tea btw; I didn't notice a difference in my skin (probably there was one, but not as dramatic). Anyhow I'll post this on the board and in my adult acne blog... 0 Comment(s)    Email this post Rants, raves, and musings on all things cosmetic.
