Hormonal balance: Another major causative factor for acne is hormonal imbalance in the body. Green tea includes EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), which is a catechin. And, it is this catechin that helps to maintain a proper balance of the hormones.

Green tea leads to an increase in the molecules that get attached to the sex hormones and, this checks the bioactive hormones. Especially, EGCG stops testosterone from getting converted into another hormone, DHT, which seriously worsens acne.
