Rooibos Tea Fighting Acne
Rooibos tea, native to South Africa, has recently become the next health revolution in weight loss, acne, and everything else….literally everything else. I don’t even want to get into some of the benefits they are claiming. The fact is that rooibos tea does have some elements such as being an antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral. Will these promote amazing benefits, maybe to some degree. In terms of acne, antioxidants benefits kill of free radicals and toxic buildup. But they really don’t do all of it on their own. So it will make a difference, just not a huge one in that way.
On a personal level, I am a fan of rooibos tea. Ever since a trip to South Africa, it has been one of my favorite tastes along with oolong tea, which is apparently supposed to be high in antioxidants as well. But I don’t think of either one as the miracle tea that will cure all your woes like acne and weight loss. I don’t think that for a second. I’ve been drinking oolong tea since I was 14 or so and rooibos tea for a few years. I can honestly tell you they don’t magically get rid of acne. Mine on a personal level was at its height despite heavy consumption in my teenage hormone driven years. It was easily worse than that of my peers, and really tea did nothing to reduce it. So I am as you can understand skeptical to say the least.
