Why matcha is your skin's best ally
Matcha isn’t just for sipping. It’s a skincare game-changer. Here’s why:
- Antioxidant powerhouse: packed with EGCG, matcha fights free radicals like a boss, keeping your skin looking fresh and youthful.
- Calms & soothes: got redness? No worries! Matcha’s natural anti-inflammatory magic helps keep irritation in check.
- Detoxifies naturally: clears out gunk and impurities, giving you that ⟡ ݁₊ clean girl aesthetic ⟡ ݁₊.
Adding matcha to your skincare routine also means:
- Brightening: regular use can even out skin tone and boost radiance (aka glass skin goalsss).
- Moisturizing: combined with honey, matcha deeply hydrates for soft, supple skin.
- Acne-fighting: matcha’s antibacterial properties help prevent breakouts and reduce blemishes. Bye, breakouts. Hello, glow-up.
Can I give you any more reasons to try it out? (Spoiler: nope, your skin needs this.)
DIY matcha face mask recipe
What you’ll need:
- 1 tsp Matcha DNA matcha powder
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1 tsp warm water
How to make it:
- Mix it: In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder, honey, and warm water until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to stay on your skin without dripping.
- Apply it: Start with a freshly cleansed face. Using clean fingers or a brush, spread the mask evenly across your face, avoiding the eye area.
-
Glow up: Let the mask work its magic for 10–15 minutes. As it dries, it will help absorb excess oil and impurities. Rinse off with warm water, gently massaging in circular motions for light exfoliation before patting your skin dry.
Pro tips for the best results
- Extra hydration? Add a few drops of aloe vera gel for an extra boost of moisture.
-
Sensitive skin? Do a patch test first to ensure no irritation.
