You would be surprised to read it, that coffee can be sued as a skin-care. But it is true.
Here are the five reasons why coffee is your skin’s best friend.
It’s an excellent source of antioxidants
Not that I need to tell you again, but antioxidants are pretty much the most important part of taking care of your skin. When it comes to anti-aging, free-radical protection, cellular healing and that general “glow,” antioxidants reign supreme. And coffee is loaded with them.
So not only will using coffee as a scrub help to slough off dead skin cells to make room for new ones, it’s antioxidant power can help rid the skin of toxins that may have settled there throughout the day, and deep-clean pores.
It’s anti-aging
Studies have even shown that when used as an exfoliator, coffee can help to prevent collagen damage that results in fine lines. Additionally, many all-natural skin care companies are adding coffee extract into their products as it’s shown time and again to be highly effective when it comes to anti-aging.
It’s anti-inflammatory
Aside from the exfoliation that coffee scrub provides, it also has another skin secret weapon: caffeine.
A stimulant, caffeine constricts blood vessels under the skin when applied topically, which can help reduce swelling and puffiness
It can fight cellulite
When used on the skin, caffeine can dehydrate fatty cells. This means water disappears from the surface of your skin, minimizing the appearance of cellulite.
If you’re using a coffee scrub, the exfoliation and massage work together to help stimulate blood flow, tighten skin and offer some drainage. Cellulite be (temporarily) gone.
It will leave your skin silky smooth
While all of the science behind caffeine-based skincare is fantastic, what’s even better is the simple effects you’ll notice as soon as you’ve scrubbed and dried off.
