Trouble getting quality sleep? We're with you. You're either on the pull out sofa with your sister or up early because all the nieces and nephews are already awake. Reaching for that extra cup of coffee might seem harmless, but in reality, it can be extremely dehydrating to your complexion.. So... give your body and skin some lovin' by ditching the coffee and turning to matcha instead! Why? Matcha is loaded with 60% catechin, which is a powerful antioxidant that not only helps keep your glow as vibrant as ever, but also helps protect the skin from premature aging and harmful rays as well!
