Do you want to feel your absolute best to start the year off on a strong note?

We want to HELP YOU! That’s why every Saturday in January, we will be posting one simple health challenge that will get your body back into balance after the holidays. 

And what better way to feel fresh for a new year than to give yourself with a glowing complexion? 

Your skin is exposed daily to so many harsh conditions including sun, chemicals in skin products and the air, and during winter months -- harsh cold air that dries out skin. Keeping your complexion soft and clear throughout the year requires using the right skin care regiment and clean, healthy products. 

Matcha green tea is an incredible product for both internal and topical use and boasts a huge range of health benefits. Some studies have shown that green tea has anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties and another incredibly interesting line of research showed that dying human skin cells, when exposed to certain properties found in green tea, were actually reactivated. Further, these effects were only true on the outer layer of the skin meaning the benefits can only be seen through the topical use of green tea on the skin. 

Green tea has also been shown to help reduce acne through its antibacterial properties as well as reduce skin puffiness, particularly around eyes. This incredible tea has the ability to improve both the look and feel of your skin as well as long-term dermatological health. 

But when choosing a matcha skin product, not all products are the same. Some products may contain aspects of green tea but not have the full health benefits. The best way to get all of the benefits of this tea for topical and internal use is to get a pure source of match which you can use to make your own products. 

Parker Natural 100% Pure Matcha is the perfect ingredient for any home-made matcha products.

Try this simple face mask recipe for a clearer complexion in 2018: 

• Combine 1 tsp of matcha powder and 1 tsp of organic honey.
• Spread the mixture over your face and leave on for 10-15 minutes.
• Rinse with warm water. 

Matcha has so many benefits for glowing skin but there are also many other great products and supplements for keeping healthy, smooth, glowing skin. Parker Naturals Skin Hydration is another amazing option to keep your skin look plump and reducing fine wrinkles and lines. 

We would love for you to share your experience of our “New Year, New You Health Challenge” with us! Post a message on our facebook page, comment here, or share some pictures of your glowing skin after (or while) doing the matcha face mask on Facebook or Instagram! Until next week...
