Green Tea & Soy Milk Detox Mask
Matcha delivers a concentrated dose of EGCG polyphenols, among the most studied antioxidants in skincare, while soy's isoflavones contribute a firming quality, combined with clay's oil absorption, this gives the mask genuine detox-adjacent function beyond just the trendy name.

Kitchen note
Use a high-quality culinary-grade matcha rather than a decorative or low-grade powder, the polyphenol concentration and color intensity both benefit from better-quality tea.
