Functions
Exfoliating
Removes dead skin cells so fresh ones can come through. Chemical exfoliants (acids) are generally gentler than physical scrubs.
Traditional Use
Matcha and other powdered green teas have been used in Japanese and Chinese skincare and beauty rituals for centuries. Matcha, in particular, has been central to Japanese tea ceremonies and beauty practices since the 12th century.
