Drinking mint tea frequently is not an effective and scientifically proven method for treating acne. About this post Daily Mail reported British dermatologist Jane Ravenscroft and retail sales manager for nutrition and vitamin company Holland & Barrett, Dr. Anokhan Arulanthan.
Recently, there has been a growing trend on social media based on drinking two cups of mint tea a day to treat acne. Some Internet users claim that the drink helped them significantly reduce the amount of inflammation in their face. They cite a study from the American Academy of Dermatology that found that the incidence of acne flare-ups decreased by 51% within three months of drinking peppermint tea.
Dr. Anokhan Arulayanthan stated that such findings should be confirmed with a larger sample of participants and additional time-based studies. He said the beneficial effects of green tea may be based on its ability to reduce levels of the hormone testosterone in the body, whose excessive concentration is associated with the appearance of acne. However, there is no evidence that peppermint tea has any direct effect on acne. Therefore, you should not refuse drug treatment under expert guidance.
Dermatologist Jane Ravenscroft added that acne can occur for a variety of reasons. Internet users cannot be sure that green tea will improve their skin condition, especially in their case. The doctor urged people to be more skeptical about treatment methods offered by users on the internet.
