In a afterShe explained that she became fascinated with spearmint tea after others raved about its skin benefits.

“I’ve been reading the stories here about peppermint tea and spearmint tea clearing the skin, just like you!” she said.

“I accidentally did my own, somewhat long-term research.”

She explained that after cutting down on alcohol, her skin simply got better.

“I was suffering from quite painful hormonal acne. Around this time my acne stopped; I thought it was because I stopped drinking alcohol,” she said.

To her surprise, the real reason for her improved skin turned out to lie in the leaves.

“But my ‘gift’ was a nice kettle and I drank herbal tea (mostly mint) a few times a day,” she said.

After skipping her daily tea drinking routine for a few months, she noticed her acne came back.

“My schedule was completely messed up for the past two months and the summer heat made me skip tea, which caused the acne to come back,” she says.

“Over the past three weeks I’ve been making more of an effort to drink more tea (I try to at least three times a week, but every day would be ideal).

“Anyway, acne has gotten waaaaay less. I just had my period a week ago and I haven’t had any pimples.

“Tea is the usual go-to for new ‘alcohol-free’ people as our nightly treat. I’ve really grown to enjoy it. I usually have a small cup every night.”

The Redditor was impressed with the remedy and was very grateful for it.

“To tea,” she said.
