Rooibos Tea Testimonies
I have teenage acne and it bothers me. Recently I purchaced Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos tea. After drinking a few cups i felt so much better! My acne calmed down and i felt good about myself! Thanks so much!

I got some Rooibos Tea Double Red Rooibos at my local organic market day before yesterday, because I had a sore throat and wanted to get a couple different kinds of tea to drink hot to help with my throat. This morning, I looked in the mirror and noticed, even though I've been awfully sick, how good my face looks. I'll have to get back to y'all about how I look in a week or two, but if this is the power of Red Rooibos Tea, I'm sold!

I've had severe acne for more than 10 years and i have a complete collection of acne cream and face wash in my possession. I've been drinking green tea for 5 - 6 months now, there were some improvements but not as good as i was expecting and the caffeine present in green tea didn't do any good either. But seriously ? After reading this article i thought why not? let's give it a try! As green tea was 1 of the only thing that actually made a difference, i started to believe in herbal teas.
While being on a low G.I diet, i brought a pack of fresh Rooibos tea and had about 8 - 10 cups a day...and after only 3 days, believe me or not, my acne was completely gone! Those huge cysts i had on both cheeks were all 'dried up' and can only be described as brown spots by now. This is so unexpected that i still can't believe it myself.
If you've had acne like me for so long and tried about everything, Rooibos tea might be the real remedy for some of us, but i don't know if the results would be the same for everyone eventually but well, just give it a try :)
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
*Spreading the love :)
