Trying Instagram Famous Teatox SkinnyMint | Review

I've been using the SkinnyMint 28 Day Ultimate Teatox for the past few weeks. It's a tea detox that consists of a morning and night time tea formulated to boost and cleanse. I've seen a lot of tea detoxes on Instagram so I was excited to try this out (I loved their packaging!) and I was interested to see if I actually noticed any changes in my body. I wasn't looking for it to make me loose weight, but was hoping it would help with bloat since I usually bloat A LOT by the end of the day. 

There's 2 steps to this Teatox, which includes two teas that are made with natural herbal ingredients. There's a Morning Boost one (which you take each morning) and a Night Cleanse one (which you take every other night).

Morning Boost
The ingredients in the Morning Boost include Green Tea, Yerba Mate, Guarana Fruit, Nettle Leaves, Dandelion, Strawberry, Grapefruit, and Pineapple. 

I could definitely taste the green tea in it, which I enjoyed because I love green tea. It also was more fruity tasting, which I prefer over spicy teas. I looked forward to drinking it each morning and tried to take it before I ate breakfast. 

I don't normally drink caffeine in the morning and didn't really notice any boost of change in my energy. I still got tired around the same time (late afternoon), and sometimes needed a nap. 

I feel like the biggest change I noticed was that it made me feel more full throughout the day and that I wasn't snacking as much. That was a big plus for me since I snack all the time!

Night Cleanse
The ingredients in the Night Cleanse include Ginger Root, Peppermint, Orange Leaves, Licorice Root, Lemon Grass, Hawthorn Berries, Senna Leaves,  and Psyllium Husk. Some of these are natural laxatives so it's recommended to drink this tea right before bed. It takes about 10-12 hours for the natural laxatives to take effect, so I recommend drinking it earlier in the evening if you have plans the next morning, since I found it upset my stomach the first week (this can be a side effect). 

To help ease my stomach I started drinking a smaller cup of the Night Cleanse and also didn't let the tea bag soak for as long. After the first week I didn't have any issues with it, so if you have a sensitive stomach I would start off with smaller cups. 

I read that some people had problems remembering to take the Night Cleanse only every other night (they said it was hard to remember if they took it the night before) but I didn't have any problems with this. Honestly if I had to take the Night Cleanse every night I feel like my stomach wouldn't like it, so taking it only every other night was perfect. 

Tips

• Make sure that you're letting the tea bag soak for at least 3 minutes so that all the ingredients have time to be released into the water.
• If you have a sensitive stomach drink a smaller cup of the Night Cleanse tea. It has natural laxatives and I found it made my stomach hurt if I drank too large of a cup or let the tea bag soak for too long. 
• A good time to do a 28 Day Teatox would be the month before a special occasion or big event. 

Results/Final Thoughts
I noticed a slight difference in bloating but I also work out regularly and try not to eat out very often so all of that could also contribute to the difference.

The biggest change I noticed was that I wasn't craving snacks throughout the day. My stomach had a "full" feeling. If you're someone who is looking to cut back on snacking I would recommend trying this to see if it helps curb your cravings. Also my decrease in snacking probably helped ease bloat since I wasn't eating as many snacks with sodium! 

If your goal is drastic weight loss this alone is not for you. It could help if taken along with a good diet and regular exercise, but I don't think it would give someone who's looking for a big change the desired results if no other changes are made. If you're just looking to cleanse your body and try to decrease bloat then this is geared more towards you.

This also should not be taken for a long period of time. It's a detox, so the company recommends taking a 4-6 week break in between uses. I would only recommend using this about 2-3 times a year and would do so before an event or big occasion (like a wedding) so that it helps with bloating. 

I've read other reviews where people complained about the taste but I actually loved the flavors. Both the Morning Boost and Night Cleanse teas tasted good and if you're a fan of green tea I feel like you'd enjoy the flavor. 

Overall I'm glad I got to try this out and see the differences in my body! For me, it was more about feeling better than about actual physical changes. Remember that each person will have different results and results will also vary greatly depending on diet and exercise habits. Let me know if you have any other questions!
