The Key Ingredient That's Missing in Your Daily Routine

I know you’re all out there on your daily grind. Whether you’re an activist, a student, currently employed, or simply pursuing your passions, your body is constantly fighting to protect you. One of the best ingredients you can feed your body, however, is probably missing from your daily routine.

Green tea is one of the most underrated natural ingredients. A lot of today’s conversation is centered around coconut oil and while there’s value in staying moisturized, we’ve almost completely forgotten about how important our internal health is. It fights cancer, clears up acne, serves as a substitute for coffee, can be incorporated into dietary and beauty routines, and is available everywhere. It’s time to stop sleeping on green tea. If you’re one of the many people who does not drink tea everyday, there are several substitutes for incorporating green tea into your life. Matcha is a powder form of green tea that is nearly 10x more powerful; you can mix matcha in your ice cream for a new and healthy flavored dessert. You can also add matcha powder to smoothies for that extra boost of energy and antioxidants.

As for skincare, green tea is more than just beneficial. Mix matcha with coconut oil and salt for an exfoliating scrub to use on your face twice a week. For an acne fighting mask, mix green tea leaves with honey and lemon and leave on for 10 minutes. The list of ways to use green tea and matcha goes on, but the first step is picking up some at the store! Once you’ve stocked up on this life changing ingredient, you’ll never want to sleep on green tea again.
