Who would have thought that I’d be a tea person?
Not me.
I was just starting to get used to the nastiness that is coffee at the end of spring semester. I never needed coffee in high school, but desperate times call for desperate measures. This is the unfortunate motto for a working college student.
Since I’ve been stuck home, my family has been lovingly reminding me of how much worse my acne has gotten.
Like I don’t notice it.
Actually, the funny thing is, that it hasn’t really bothered me. I’ve read up on it, and a lot of people get acne after high school. Like I wrote Friday, I’m becoming more comfortable in my own skin in a lot of ways even though I know I’m not up to par physically. Surprise, surprise, I’m not the only person with pimples on my face. I feel like because I don’t cover them up people are shocked to see they still exist.
Yes world, just because the magazines cover them and most women wear make-up, doesn’t mean they are gone.
I’m overweight, out of shape, and I’m stressed.
Hello the-reality-of-college!
Anyway, since the reminders keep pouring in, and I’m starting to think more about my fitness, I decided that I was going to try Green Tea. I don’t believe in the TV gimmicks, and I think that those things to achieve results because people do them regularly (like yeah, your face cleared up- you’re washing your face twice a day and applying repairing lotion even more, duh).
I love home remedies and natural medicines so I thought about tea. I remembered about tea on Saturday; so the idea was definitely riding in the wake of Fitness Friday.
Honestly, I think I’m already seeing a reduction of redness and scars. I have been drinking around 2-3 cups a day, and also applying the tea bag directly on the spots when I’m able to. I did have a small breakout this morning, but I think with some extra regular washing, I could be onto something.
