Green tea causes your body to purge itself, it may be purging your body of specific nutrients that keeps your body from breaking out. Try taking MSM, a sulfur compound the body uses any number of ways, including, fighting acne.\n\nIt may actually be that Green tea is actually stimulating your body to purge itself of junk, which in turn triggers your pours to get active and therefore you are getting acne.\n\nThe links provided below are for informational purposes, I am not endorsing their products.

The Cayenne is to loosen mucus in the body.\n\nI'm on day 5 now...and I can't stand the salt water. Just drink a double strength version of the tea (i.e. 2 bags instead of just one) in the morning and at night.  Also, drinking a few random cups of green tea makes it a bit easier too.

It could be too much oxygen in the water you're boiling.  Here's a tip, only use fresh water to make tea and only boil it once.  By boiling the water repeatedly, you're oxygenating it.  This could explain your bloatedness.  It could also be the type of milk you're using, try skimmed milk instead of full fat.

A lot of the asian population has this occur and it also can occur with people of Jewish decent.\n\nAlcohol flush reaction, (also known as Asian flush, Asian glow and ADH deficiency) is a condition where the body cannot break down ingested alcohol completely, due to a deficiency of an inactive enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) which is normally responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde, a byproduct of the metabolism of alcohol. Since acetaldehyde is a toxin, it accumulates and causes flushing if the human body can't break it down. Approximately half of all Asians have a sensitivity to alcohol due to this condition and there is some evidence that this condition exists frequently in people of Jewish descent as well.\n\nAfter consuming one or two alcoholic beverages, people with this condition usually experience dizziness, nausea, headaches, and an increased pulse, and sometimes experience extreme drowsiness, and occasional swelling and skin itchiness. These people become inebriated more quickly than others.\n\nAlthough most people with this condition view it as a minor inconvenience, it has been suggested that people with alcohol flush reaction may be at higher risk for alcohol related conditions, such as liver disease, asthma, and cancer of the esophagus.

It can be food that u eat or oil on ur skin and much more.  There are MANY REASONS WHY we have breakouts. Could be from stress, or eating too much chocolates or else... see your doctor to see what you can do about your breakouts

First off what everyone is saying is correct you body is cleansing itself of toxins. What is causeing the breakouts is the residue and oils dirt ect.. being left on you skin and the fact that the soaps your using are porbably not helping. Avoid anything with benzoal peroxide i.e. clearasil ect... it causes redness and is very allergetic. You need to use a non-comedogenic (anti pore clogging) cleanser and a ligth moisturizing lotion. Mary kay has very good stuff. So does Nutrogina.

you may be having some sort of allergic reaction or medical condition like rosacea.  You better see a doctor.  In the meantime, you can use a green based powder, (yes green), like one from Physician's Formula, to dust over your face after applying your make up and it will offset the red and make your face look all normal again!

The sweating is beacuse it has upped your metabolism. SO yes it does. They sell green tea extract for diet purposes, when ephedra was pulled form the market green tea extract was added to diet pills. You have to be careful cuz you set yourself up for heart attack etc.  Plus you definitely need more sleep. I suggest you alternate caffeine-free diet coke so u get some sleep!

Sounds like a reaction to something you did that caused you to become allergic. The symptoms are the itchy, followed with hot red bumps, brought on by you intitating the scratching. First you need to ask yourself some questions....Did I eat something to cause this reaction? Did I use a new cosmetic on my skin or a old one? Did I try a new detergent? Or is the one I always use making me get a reaction? Is the medication or herbal pills or both making me break-out? What ever it is drink alot of water to flush out your system...keep a written journal on what you do and just monitor your self. It is cheapier to heal yourself than visit the doctor. Use common sense. Use products that are allergy-free. Good Luck

Too much of any caffeine can lead to the development of gastritis (irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining) which can lead to ulcer formation. This includes coffee, tea and certain types of sodas/pops.

It shouldn't. Green tea extract is an anti-oxidant that cleans out your blood system, and the pill has estrogen (or potassium depending on the kind of pill). They aren't even remotely related to each other, so no. But I would still check with a doctor or nutritionist to make absolutely sure.

Sometimes its a simple as dehydration, could be hormones, could be a small allergic reaction to something you ate or the beginnings of rocacea.  Start out with hydrating yourself and go from there. It's probably all it is.

NO, but I believe from personal experience and that of close friends and family memeber that acne is caused by an intollerance to certain foods.  The most common foods that you can have intollerances too are grains (anything with gluten) dairy, soy, artifical colors, artifical flavors and presevitives.  Try taking all of them out of you diet and see if it works but you have to do it for at least 30 days.  Then if it does slowly(until you have symptoms or for at least 30 days) add one at a time back in and then you'll know what it is.\n\np.s. It should go away quickly 3 days ago I had bad acne then I detoxed my body and its gone today.

Green tea can be very good for you.  It doesn't contain caffiene, and it counts towards your daily fluid intake (important so that you don't become too dehydrated).\n\nGreen tea also contains anti-oxidants, which can be beneficial to the body.  Scientists still aren't sure how well the body absorbs these anti-oxidants, but it's still important to get a decent amount of them in your diet (you can also get them from fresh fruit and vegetables).
