5 STEPS FOR RADIANT SKIN

Use our PURIFYING MATCHA GEL CLEANSER to gently wash your face, refresh and cleanse your skin without drying or stripping it of its natural oils.

Washing your face is a simple task that benefits your skin immeasurable. It is best to wash your face with lukewarm water, as water that is too hot can break capillaries, cause redness, and damage cells, but cold water does not allow your pores to completely open. Once your face is dampened and warm, apply cleanser in small, upward circular motions using the ring and middle fingers. These fingers are the weakest, thus ensuring that you won’t rub too hard and cause damage. The skin on our faces is more sensitive than we would think, so be sure not cause unintentional skin damage.

When cleansing by starting at the bottom of the face and working your way upward, you are giving yourself an anti-gravity lift. This will also stimulate skin, by getting blood flowing and allowing pores to open, this also ensures your skin gets truly clean. To rinse cleanser, gently splash with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Be careful not to damage skin by drying aggressively.

Most people will try to skip exfoliating. Exfoliating is actually a must in any good skin care routine because it encourages cell renewal.

Use our EXFOLIATING MATCHA & HIMALAYAN SALT SCRUB twice or three times a week to remove any dead skin cells, and renew the skin.

Follow exfoliating with proper toner, serum and moisturiser. Use it at least twice a week.

AM, PM and throughout the day, rebalance skin’s natural pH, maintain hydration, calm and sooth irritated or acne prone skin with our HYDRATING MATCHA TONER.

Toner is a must in a good skin care routine. Its main functions are to close pores, remove the last traces of dirt and oil, re-balance skin’s pH after cleansing and to deposit active ingredients deeper into your skin’s layers after the dirt and oil is removed. Toning will also get rid of any remaining traces of cleanser and/or mask. Pore health is an important skin issue as congested pores and unwanted build-up of oil and dirt can cause a host of skin problems including acne and breakouts.

Revitalise your skin with our AGE DEFYING MATCHA FACE SERUM.

Serums tend to confuse people. When do I use them, why do I really need one, what do they do, and if I use one do I still need to moisturise? Plainly put, a serum is a problem solver. The only reason to use one is if you have a targeted problem that needs resolution. For example: pimples, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dark spots or to prevent the signs of aging. Some serums can also be preventative, so they stop the problem before it starts. These serums can be everything from anti oxidants to prevent aging or hyaluronic acid to increase hydration. They have more active ingredients than moisturisers and have a lighter formula to allow the active ingredients to be more deeply absorbed by skin. Serums are applied under moisturiser and should be paired with a complimentary facial moisturiser. When you use active ingredients that have a synergy with each other, results will be enhanced. When you use ones that are not formulated to be paired together they may reduce the effectiveness.

Moisturise skin with our REPAIRING MATCHA & ALOE DAY CREAM to maintain healthy and balanced skin. You can also choose a face oil that is suitable to your skin type as a moisturiser.

Any dry skin or unhappy skin can lead to premature signs of aging, loss of radiance and youthful glow, clogged pores, and cell damage. Proper hydration is a crucial part of skin health and anti-aging care. Even if your skin is oily, it still needs hydration. Hydration is two-fold; skin needs both fluid and oil content, so it is very important to make sure that your skin is adequately hydrated. There are two basic types of moisturisers. Oils, that penetrate deeper than creams and actually help to moderate skin’s oil production (although it may seem counter-intuitive to put oil on oily skin, this will actually be beneficial in the long-term as your skin will begin to understand and regulate its own oil production.). The second type of moisturisers are face creams. When choosing a face cream make sure you find one with natural ingredients that help the cream penetrate your skin instead of just laying on top. If you are constantly applying face cream and never feeling hydrated, I suggest you look at one (or all) of these three things. Are you using a cleanser that is stripping your skin, are your pores clogged or is your facial cream actually penetrating the layers of skin?
