Benefits of Matcha in Skin Care Products ✨
Matcha can healp you gently exfoliate and remove dead skin from your face and neck, giving you a renewed and fresh look, and making it easier for your pores to function properly. It also helps your skin become more firm and plump by shrinking your pores and thereby reducing wrinkling and unwanted oiliness. Because matcha contains chlorophyll, which is a natural anti-bacterial, not only does it help remove excess oils from your skin, it also helps eliminate the bacteria which cause bacterial acne.
The caffeine and tannins in matcha can help reduce puffy eyes and dark circles, giving you a refreshed look, even if you didn’t get a great night of sleep.
Plus, its vitamin-rich makeup means its actually imparting beneficial nutrients into your skin when applied topically! It also cleanses and detoxes your skin in a natural and gentle way.
But before we explain how simple it is to create your own matcha skincare products, let’s go back to that anti-inflammatory property of matcha tea. Because matcha has EGCG, that powerful antioxidant we mentioned earlier, it’s great for treating a whole host of skin irritations and diseases involving redness and inflammation. Its soothing coolness can help reduce redness from acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
