Your Guide to the Benefits of Coffee for Skin
We all know how stimulating a fresh cup of coffee is, with so many of us relying on a caffeine boost to get through the morning and sustain our energy levels throughout a big day. But coffee is actually amazing in natural skin care too, with extracts and ground beans making wonderfully refreshing ingredients in everything from eye creams to body scrubs. In the same way caffeine can perk your body up, it can help to perk up your skin up too!
Benefits of coffee in natural skin care
One of the best things about coffee is that it has anti-inflammatory properties, so it makes it a wonderful ingredient in eye creams as it can target that puffiness so many of us are left with after a poor night's sleep. Thanks to its awakening caffeine content, it can also stimulate circulation to deliver a brightening effect to the skin, plus the ground beans can be used in scrubs to help buff away dead and dry skin which can help to reduce the visible signs of cellulite. While I love using caffeine skin care, I've actually been trying to cut coffee out of my daily diet to replace it with other alternatives Read more about how you can avoid drinking coffee in my blog post here!
