Acne starts out as an incredibly annoying and embarrassing condition when we're entering our teenage years, and if we're lucky, it ceases to become a problem once we hit adulthood. Not everyone is that lucky, however, and acne problems tend to persist well into your 20s, 30s, and 40s. Sometimes, you hit upon a really, really good treatment which works for a while, but then just stops working after several uses. Who knows--perhaps the acne just gets used to the chemicals and medicine in many anti-acne topical solutions.

One solution you probably haven't tried yet is green tea--there's nothing like it for kicking toxins out of your body! Green tea can clear up your acne because it neutralizes the free radicals in your system, and with the absence of free radicals, you can help clear up your sebaceous glands, which cause acne when they're clogged. Believe it or not, green tea also performed favorably in a study that pitted it against benzoyl peroxide.
