Acne and Matcha

By: James Whittle M.S., L.Ac.

Matcha green tea is an incredible home remedy for acne that has no side effects except greater health and longer life. And as you have learned by now on the Living Qi website, there is no healthier or more concentrated green tea than our matcha. Green tea has been shown to be as effective as a 4% solution of benzoyl peroxide without doing the damage. Benzoyl peroxide dries the skin and can discolor your skin. You can cure your acne fast with matcha green tea. I recommend the Living Qi brand because it is organic and you don’t want to put tea on your skin that may have pesticide or herbicide or other chemical residue in it.

Matcha green tea is an incredible source of anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory chemicals and has anti-biotic effects.

One acne website explains Dr Gan-Wong’s study in which she examined the health benefits of green tea on acne, “According to the findings reported to the American Academy of Dermatology by dermatologist Dr. Gan-Wong, when compounded into a cream with a content of 3% green tea extract, acne treatment results were comparable to using a topical solution containing 4% benzoyl peroxide, a common treatment for acne. Dr. Gan-Wong’s findings were based on an independent study of just over 100 acne sufferers. The test subjects were randomly split into two groups, with one group receiving the green tea treatment and the other receiving a benzoyl peroxide treatment. Neither group was aware of the treatment they received, nor were the dermatologists who documented their progress.”

Instead of buying an expensive cream with green tea in it, you can simply use our matcha tea. Simply dab a small amount of matcha tea directly onto your pimples and leave it on over night. You will be amazed at how quickly the matcha tea will eradicate your pimples.

In addition, the best free acne home remedy is to actually drink matcha green tea; since acne is often caused by an internal imbalance, drinking matcha green tea can help get to the root of the problem. Matcha can help your body to detoxify and often acne occurs because the liver is toxic and is not detoxifying your blood appropriately.

So instead of a 4% benzoyl peroxide solution, a common medication recommended for acne, how about try something less toxic? Benzoyl peroxide can damage and dry your skin, while drinking and applying Living Qi organic matcha actually gives your skin the healthy nutrition it needs. Matcha is also a strong natural anti-biotic.

Matcha rejuvenates dying skin cells while also curing your acne, plus it tastes great and and is packed with living enzymes. Here is what Dr Hsu said on the Medical College of Georgia website, ‘“When exposed to EGCG the old cells found in the upper layers of the epidermis appear to start dividing again,” Dr Hsu said, “They make DNA and produce more energy. They are reactivated. There are lots of unknowns – this is the first step into the door – but if we can energize dying skin cells, we can probably improve the skin condition”’

The best acne home remedy you can give your skin is matcha green tea. Prepare yourself a cup of warm Living Qi organic matcha green tea and cleanse your system from the inside to the outside. Apply a small amount of matcha powder directly to your pimples and acne at night and watch them fade away. Avoid toxic chemicals and try Living Qi matcha for acne.
