I think that it is not the right place to ask such thing but i have not found any other threads. A friend of mine told me that green tea is helps us to weight loss and also make our skin fresh and nice. I don't believe on him so if you know please post here your suggestions and also some tips about weight loss.

    Green tea can help weight loss if you are replacing a higher caloric beverage. It also has some pretty great nutrients in it, so yeah it could contribute to skin cleansing (and is in a lot of skin care products).

    If you are asking if adding a cup of green tea to a 4000 calorie diet with no exercise and a lot of sugars and fats will help you lose weight or clear up oily skin, the answer is no. Typically the best thing you can do for both weight loss and skin care is cut out sodas, excess fats and sugars, and eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else. Exercise will also help.

    Your friend is right in that Green Tea is a pretty great thing, overall. But there is no magic bullet.

    Are you on a regimen currently? Green tea could probably help weight loss but freshening skin? My mother drinks tea everyday and I'm not completely sure how much that has helped her. While green tea might helps, she adheres to a pretty tight facial cleansing regimen of cleansing, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing with weekly mud and clay masks.

    Are you primarily looking for weight loss tips or also beauty tips?

    Caffeine increases your metabolic rate and is an appetite suppressant. Ingest caffeine diet and work out, and you’ll lose more weight than you would otherwise. Coffee, green tea, black tea, Diet Mountain Dew and No-Doz all do the same thing. This is nothing new; diet pills have been mostly caffeine since the 1960s.

    The other “benefits” of green tea are a load of BS that was concocted by the natural health industry to separate stupid people from their money. On the up side, green tea actually doesn’t really contain the huge doses of antioxidants people claim it does, so it’s not as likely to cause long-term harm as some other natural health scams.
