Bai Zhi Licorice Acne Tea
This simple tea is good for those with acne breakout, inflamed acne with pus and wants to reduce the swelling and disperse the pus fast. Especially if you have an important event coming up and you want to look good for it. This tea only needs 4-5 days to work so if you have 1 week before that big event, you are good to go.
It treats acne, reduces swelling and pus, expels dampness and toxic heat. It also reduces skin sensitivity or allergy and calms the skin, so it also benefits those with inflamed skin, eczema or if you have itchy skin rashes.
Drink it twice a day for 4-5 days till the swelling/pus subsides and you can also use a face mask sheet/cotton wool to soak it up and use it externally on the face or skin directly where the acne or rashes are. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties hence it can work well externally too.
