  • Gentle exfoliation: A top benefit of using body and face scrubs is removing dead skin cells and exposing fresh, healthy skin underneath. A good exfoliation can leave you feeling smooth, refreshed, and radiant!
  • Skin-healthy benefits: Green tea matcha scrub is an extra special exfoliant because it provides additional benefits to the skin. Green tea can provide anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits and it can help with acne. Green tea is a powerhouse ingredient for our health and our skin!
  • Unique: I’ve tried a lot of body scrubs and this one is special! That vibrant green color is so fun and I love gifting this scrub to family and friends because of its uniqueness. It also smells amazing with the mango butter and green tea. It is great for lifting your mood and treating yourself a bit.
  • Affordable: Making your own natural skin care products is almost always cheaper than purchasing natural products at the store. This recipe is no exception! Save money and know exactly what’s going on your skin by making your own green tea scrub.

Expert Tips

  • Limit use of body scrubs to 1-2 times a week. Exfoliating is fantastic for your skin, but doing so too often can leave it raw, red, and damaged.
  • Don’t forget to moisturize after using body scrub! I like to use homemade whipped body butter and DIY face cream.
  • For sensitive skin, I recommend using a finer salt type. This is to avoid over-scrubbing already delicate skin, which may lead to skin injury.You may also try making a homemade whipped sugar scrub for sensitive skin.
  • It’s always a good idea to perform a patch test before using a new product, especially if you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
  • Avoid using the scrub on open wounds or sunburned skin.

Recipe FAQs

What is matcha?

Matcha is a powdered form of green tea made from shade-grown tea leaves, which are finely ground after being steamed and dried. Because of its concentrated nature, matcha powder contains even higher levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties than traditional green tea, enhancing its effectiveness in promoting skin health.

Is this green tea matcha scrub good for the face?

Yes, but scrub gently! The ingredients in this recipe are very gentle and suitable for the tender skin on your face. That said, it’s always a good idea to perform a patch test before using a new product, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Will matcha stain my skin?

No, the vibrant green color of the matcha will not stain your skin. Rinse the scrub off with warm water after using it and it will easily wash away.

What type of matcha should be used in skincare recipes?

I prefer to use culinary-grade organic matcha in my skincare recipes. Ceremonial-grade matcha is more expensive and simply not necessary for skincare products. However, you can use whichever type you have on hand!
