Good skincare means treating your skin not just with topical treatments but from the inside out. Look out for our new regular feature ‘eat this’ which offers tips for skin-saving food and drink.

This week we’re taking a look at Matcha Tea, which consists of green tea leaves ground into a powder. This health-boosting drink contains 70 times more antioxidants than orange juice, making it a superior drink for skin. Further to this, matcha contains theophylline and theannine. These work together to give you an energy boost lasting three hours or more, while keeping you calm and focused. Great for mid afternoon slumps!

You can drink it as a shot, with milk as a latte, with juice, water or in a smoothie. I love to mix mine with a bit honey (it helps to get rid of any lumps), then add hot water and a dash of orange juice – yummy!
