What you drink is just as important as what you eat when it comes to clear skin. Sugary drinks like soda and juices will only wreak havoc on your skin, to toss those in the trash!
When you drink something is also a major factor to the clarity of your skin. Drinking a bunch of sugar before bed will slow down your metabolism, make you gain weight, and cause you to break out. For a super-boost of clear skin, try drinking this amazing tea before bedtime instead.
Green tea is an amazing skin cleanser, according to Leslie S. Baumann, MD. "Laden with plant polyphenols, orally administered or topically applied green tea has been shown to display significant antioxidant, chemopreventive, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory activity, affecting the biochemical pathways important in cell proliferation," she said. The antioxidants and nutrients within green tea assist in making your skin clean and clear!
Green tea is basically a superpower drink! It's also known to help with weight loss, boosting metabolism, and increase brain function. So, adding green tea to your nightly routine is definitely a big step in helping your body become happy, healthy, and acne-free!
