MATCHA SKIN POTION RECIPE
Benefits
First off, since matcha is a great source of caffeine, many coffee drinkers have been switching over to it because all of its amazing health benefits. Matcha is made from green tea leaves ground into a powder form. Matcha is more concentrated than drinking green tea since you are consuming the leaves, versus just steeping them.
Matcha is amazing for your skin because it's an antioxidant powerhouse. It has 14x more antioxidants than blueberries and 12x more than regular green tea. Matcha also contains 137x more EGCG than regular green tea which is an antioxidant that specifically combats signs of aging skin. L-Theanine found in matcha calms your body; reducing stress hormones to improve breakouts. Lastly, it contains vitamin B2, vitamin E and chlorophyll to promote clear skin, hair and joints.
