If we asked you to tell us two things about matcha<\/a>, what would they be? That it can help with focus? That it gives you a subtle energy boost without the jitters of caffeine? That it\u2019s bursting with age-defying antioxidants? When we think about green tea matcha, we often associate it with its benefits just as much as its bright and earthy flavour<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ingredient is packed with so much goodness that it should be a surprise to absolutely no one that it also works wonders on your skin<\/a>. If you\u2019ve shopped for any <\/em>beauty product in the past few years, you\u2019ve likely seen matcha included in everything from toners and cleansers to lip balms and hair masks. But you don\u2019t have to buy a specialty product to benefit from that green tea goodness. The matcha you whisk up for your morning latte also makes a mean face mask. Yes, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think drinking matcha is pretty good for you, slathering it on your face\/hair\/body is even better. Matcha\u2019s rich, deep green colour comes from the chlorophyll in the leaves. Quick science class reminder: chlorophyll is what allows trees to absorb and store sunlight. When used on your skin, it can help to protect it from sun damage and photoaging, which means fewer wrinkles and sunspots as we age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
