Why Matcha Feels Different—And Shows Up On Your Skin
A compound in matcha called EGCG protects your skin cells, boosts collagen, and slows the visible signs of aging

Did you know matcha helps your skin repair itself?
A recent lab study found that EGCG (the main active compound in matcha) actually protects human skin cells from UVA-damage:
It boosted antioxidant defenses.
It slowed telomere shortening and oxidative stress.
It helped maintain the structural proteins that keep your skin firm.
In other words…
Instead of just hoping your skin holds up as you age…
By drinking matcha you could be giving it tools to actively resist the damage.
That’s why I switch to matcha this time of year.
Matcha also:
Supports clear, bright skin through chlorophyll and detoxification pathways.
Promotes calm alertness thanks to L-theanine, balancing caffeine’s edge.
Helps curb sugar cravings with catechins that stabilize blood glucose.
Supports lipid metabolism, improving how your body burns and stores fat.
That’s because matcha isn’t just an energy drink.
It’s a nutrient delivery system for your cells.
If you want a clean matcha, I recommend Sun Goddess Matcha by Pique.
It’s 100% organic, ceremonial-grade, and sourced from Kagoshima, Japan (near one of the world’s longest-living populations).
Just one scoop delivers a full therapeutic dose of EGCG, L-theanine, and chlorophyll in the purest form I’ve found.
You can even get up to 20% off for life, plus a free starter kit using my link:
Until next time,
