An energizing beverage brewing with antioxidants, tea is an ideal drink to help cleanse—and if the smiling models clutching a steaming mug of tea on our Instagram feed are any indication, cleansing your body via the soothing beverage is the detoxifying method of the moment and a healthy way to enter into the new year.
If you can’t stomach green juices, or just want to spruce up your cleanse, then try “teatoxing.” Kendall Jenner recently admitted that she drinks a dozen cups of detox tea during fashion week—a method of purifying the body with tea to flush out the toxins and in turn, reap the beauty benefits. Tea detox treats everything from bad skin to bloating, and even helps you shed a few pounds—it just might be the easiest (and tastiest) way yet to attain a slimmer physique. Read below for two of our favorite teatoxes.
Bootea
28-Day Teatox
US $53; AED/SAR 195
Available at all Holland & Barret retail branches.
www.hollandandbarrett.com
This set includes 28 packets of a morning boost as well as a nightly blend (for every other evening). It contains natural ingredients, including ginseng to hit the reset button and keep you energized, and dandelion to promote a healthy digestive tract and reduce bloating.
Note: The morning tea is delicious and refreshing in comparison to the pm cleanse. Due to the caffeine and other stimulants in the daytime packets, I found myself dehydrated, so make sure that you drink plenty of water.

SkinnyMint
28-Day Ultimate Teatox
US $55; AED/SAR 202
This two-step program contains a Morning Boost and a Nightly Cleanse. Replace your morning coffee with the AM blend and reap the beautifying benefits of green tea, yerba mate, and guarana, which help alleviate your energy levels and reduce snacking throughout the day. The nightly packets meant for every other day flush out toxins and aid in digestion.
Note: After trading my skinny soy latte for the Morning Boost, I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious and I received a gentle jolt of energy without the imminent crash that usually follows.
