Bootea is the latest teatox to sweep the celebrity circuit. The Bootea 14 day teatox has already gained a cult celebrity following, with everyone from Michelle Keegan (who reportedly used Bootea before her wedding) to Made In Chelsea’s Jess Woodley, Caggie Dunlop and Nicola Hughes.

I have been testing out this much hyped teatox from SkinnyMeTea over the past 28 days. After seeing the amazing user results on their Instagram profile (smtofficial) – I was certainly intrigued! What´s a TeaTox? Well, as you might have guessed – its a detoxifying tea course. What does SMT include?

Loose Leaf / Energising tea with antioxidant properties, made from aromatic and tonic. Stimulates energy and supports metabolism. Directions: To be drunk every morning upon rising. Colon Tea / Supports elimination, detoxifying processes, a healthy colon and digestive tract function. Directions: 1 Cup every second night before bed. Note: Both teas have a bit of a peculiar taste to start with, however I quickly got used to it after a few days of consumption (and actually ended up liking – especially the Loose Leaf tea).

After over-doing it on sweet treats, savoury indulgences and pitchers of cocktails over Christmas, I decided that I needed to lose a little bit of weight at the start of January – not a lot just a little. I’m 170cm tall and weigh 58kg, which is perfectly healthy. But prior to Christmas, I weighed 55kg-56kg, which was the weight I wanted to drop back down to. I’ve never found it easy to lose weight and when, after going back to my healthy diet and workout routine for a short time, I found I wasn’t losing any weight, I decided to do a teatox with Skinny Teatox.

I just want to get it out there now that no one has paid me to write this teatox review. I went onto the website and paid every penny for the 14-day teatox starter kit myself. This kit comes with 14 doses of morning tea, 7 doses of evening tea, 14 doses of chocolate energy tea and a cute strawberry tea infuser. The full price is $90 dollars, which I think is a bit steep. But I managed to snap it up for $30 during a post-Christmas sale. Whoo!

Bootea is the latest teatox to sweep the celebrity circuit. The Bootea 14 day teatox has already gained a cult celebrity following, with everyone from Michelle Keegan (who reportedly used Bootea before her wedding) to Made In Chelsea’s Jess Woodley, Caggie Dunlop and Nicola Hughes.

But as the news comes that doctor and journalist, Dr Lauretta IHonour, has started a petition to get the Senna laxative included in the tea banned, some questions are being raised over how safe it actually is.

I Honour has described the lack of awareness about the laxative as ‘worrying’, adding that it’s ‘designed for treating constipation by irritating the lining go the bowels.’ ‘It is not safe to be taken for longer than a week without medical supervision’, she added.

If you've been wondering about trying Skinnymint but the amount of sponsored posts has you unsure about who you can trust and who has actually bothered to look into the real pros and cons - welcome, my friends, to a full, thorough, honest, unsponsored review of Skinnymint 28 Day Teatox.

I'm going to start by saying that I was sent these products to review, but that's never swayed me to review things certain ways before and it wont now! So lets begin... What is the Skinnymint 28 Day Teatox? The 28 day teatox consists of drinking two varieties of tea - one 'Morning Boost' which is drank each morning to give you a bit of pep and energy. 'Night Cleanse' is drank last thing in the evening every second night, to help 'flush out toxins' and remedy bloating and constipation (basically, it makes you poop.) For $54.90 (USD), you receive 28 morning tea bags and 14 night time tea bags.

The aim of 'teatoxing' is to 'help boost your metabolism, flush out toxins, reduce bloating and burn fat'.  The teas are drank alongside whatever you usually eat, and can simply replace your usual morning and evening drinks.
