Why Matcha Is the Hot New Skin Care Ingredient You Need

Green tea leaves are stealing the show in skin care for their ability to fight inflammation and stop the clock
Oily skin sufferers take note -- this white clay based mask (all natural and a Brooklyn export) will gently coax oil and dirt out of your pores while matcha and chamomile team up to keep your mug calm, cool and collected. "I've found matcha, especially in masks, works really well on inflamed skin, especially if you're dealing with rosacea or acne," says Padgett.

Facial wipes are already a gift from above (how else does one remove makeup at 2am?) but these beauties take towelettes to the next level: Infused in each wipe is caffeine to depuff and energize skin, plus aloe vera and matcha to sooth and protect your face from the elements. We say take them to work in case you need a lunchtime reset.
