Why Makes Matcha Good For The Skin?

Why matcha, you might ask? Well, let me tell you—it’s not just a trendy beverage or a tasty treat. Matcha green tea boasts a myriad of benefits for both your body and your skin. From its antioxidant-rich properties to its detoxifying effects, matcha is like a superhero, swooping in like a reset button and leaving you glowing from the inside out!

I first discovered the magic of matcha when I started incorporating it into my morning routine.

Here’s what I learned about matcha’s benefits for the skin.

Creating Matcha Bath Bombs

Treat yourself to a little green tea therapy with these DIY matcha green tea bath bombs! Infused with the goodness of matcha, these fizzing gems give us just the restart we need.

This recipe yields 6 large bath 5 oz bombs or 12 to 15 small 2 oz bath bombs. Grab your ingredients and follow the steps below to get started!

How to Make Green Tea Bath Bombs

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

• Add 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/8 cup arrowroot powder, 1/4 cup citric acid, and 1/8 cup Epsom salt to a large glass mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to blend and remove any clumps.
• Then add 1 tablespoon of green matcha powder, watching the color come alive.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredient

• Slowly pour 3 teaspoons of sweet almond oil into the dry mixture, whisking as you go. If the mixture begins to fizz or foam, slow down.

Step 3: Test Consistency

• After adding the oil, scoop a small amount of the bath bomb mixture into your hand and squeeze it together to test the consistency.
• It should stick together and hold its shape.
• If the mixture is too dry and powdery, add ½ teaspoon of witch hazel. You can use any witch hazel, but I liked the combination of cucumber witch hazel with green tea. Mix well and test again. Repeat until you have the correct consistency.

Step 4: Add Green Tea and Form Bath Bombs

• Once the bath bomb mixture is ready, place a pinch of loose-leaf green tea into the base of one-half of a stainless steel bath bomb mold.
• Then scoop it and the other half of the bath bomb mold into the mixture until it’s just overflowing.
• Press together and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes. (I recommend using multiple bath bomb molds so you can keep going while the others are setting.)
• Once set, gently release the bath bomb onto a cutting board or cookie sheet. If it cracks while being removed, scoop it up with a little more mixture and press together again.

Allow bath bombs to dry uncovered for 8 hours or overnight. Once dry, store in a dry place or container until use.
