Is coffee good for skin
You associate coffee with waking up in the morning, right? Well, it can also perk up your skin. Incorporate caffeine into your skincare routine to reveal evenly toned, smooth skin all over your body.
Let’s take a look at some of the coffee benefits for the skin.
-
Reduces inflammation:
Caffeine has potent anti-inflammatory properties that make it perfect to reduce inflammation and redness in your skin. The use of skin care products containing caffeine will leave you with a beautiful, even skin tone.
-
Helps get rid of under-eye circles:
Dark under-eye circles can be caused by a number of factors, including dehydration, allergies, lack of sleep, or genetics. Even though caffeine cannot completely erase hereditary dark circles, applying caffeine under your eyes will reduce the puffiness and inflammation associated with dark circles. Moreover, caffeine reduces the build-up of blood under your eyes which contributes to dark shadows.
-
Protects against harsh sun rays:
UVB is harmful and might even lead to more complicated and life-threatening skin diseases. Protecting your skin with caffeine might guard it against UV carcinogens. Adding caffeine to a daily SPF moisturizer may provide protection against the aging effects of UV radiation.
-
Exfoliates skin:
Coffee grounds work great as a face scrub as their texture helps exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. The benefits include a smoother and cleaner face. As an added benefit, coffee helps prevent dryness on your face. Make a scrub using half a cup of brown sugar and ground coffee. Add a quarter cup of olive oil. Mix well until it turns into a fine paste and apply it directly on your face, massaging in circular motions. When you're done, rinse thoroughly and apply moisturizer for best results.
-
Treats acne:
The antioxidants, stimulants, and chlorogenic acids in coffee make it an effective acne-fighting facial scrub. Acne occurs when oil, dead skin cells, and other substances clog skin pores. These can become infected by bacteria, resulting in inflammation. Scrubbing the face with coffee grounds helps to clear away dead skin cells and unclog the pores. The chlorogenic acids in coffee might also reduce inflammation and protect against some strains of bacteria.
