THOSE IN REGULAR GREEN TEA
BOTH ARE EXCELLENT ANTIOXIDANTS THAT HELP SKIN CARE
2
Matcha can prevent skin aging EGCG prevents UV-induced oxidation of free radicals that responsible to skin aging Chlorophyll detoxes skin by absorbing toxins and radiation and helps slow down skin aging
3
BOTH EGCG AND CHLOROPHYLL SUPPRESS INFLAMMATORY IN SKIN THAT CAN LEADS TO SKIN AGING

4
AFTER 6 AND 12 WEEKS RESPECTIVELY
Matcha prevents risks of skin cancer
EGCG suppress chemo and photocarcinogenesis which prevents risks of skin cancer
5
STUDIES SHOW CHLOROPHYLL A AND B FROM GREEN TEA ALSO SUPPRESS TUMORIGENESIS IN SKIN
Matcha improves skin structure
CATECHIN POLYPHENOLS enhance cutaneous blood flow & O2 delivery in skin
6
EGCG can reduces the DNA lesions and promotes DNA repairing from UV damage
It increases skin hydration which help improve skin elastin, scaling, water homeostasis
A study shows that topical and oral EGCG application can improve skin structure after
8 WEEKS
Matcha can treat acne
Acne is caused by overproduction of sebum (fatty acids) and activity of bacteria, P. acnes EGCG regulates lipogenesis (fatty acids production) that inhibits overproducing sebum
A STUDY SHOWS CONSUMING EGCG REDUCES SEBUM PRODUCTION
BY 70% AFTER 8 WEEKS
EGCG also has antimicrobial activity that suppresses the abnormal growth of P.acnes in the development of acne.
