In this article, we will discuss the many beauty benefits of coffee and how you can start applying them to glow.

Most people can’t start their day without it and who can blame them. There’s much to love about coffee, and even though experts beg us to take it in moderation, it turns out that coffee can transform your beauty routine.

Coffee makes a great exfoliator

Whether it’s used on the hair or skin, coffee can help you get rid of the dead skin cells. The science behind this is that coffee grounds don’t dissolve in water. It also has antimicrobial properties that help to protect against germs.

You can use coffee as an exfoliator by taking a good amount of fresh coffee grounds and massaging it on your hair or skin.

Alternatively, you can make a super exfoliating scrub with fresh coffee grounds, brown sugar, and lemon juice.

It’s a rich source of antioxidants

Antioxidants are usually gotten from superfoods like berries. However, coffee turns out to be a rich source of antioxidants that promote skin health, fight aging, and boosts skin protection. You get this benefit from simply drinking your coffee.

Coffee reduces puffy eyes and dark circles

Puffy eyes or stubborn dark circles can ruin your beauty routine. Research also suggests that coffee may just be the solution you’ve always wanted. Coffee reduces puffy eyes by increasing blood circulation in the body, shrinking swollen blood vessels, and offering antioxidants benefits.

You can apply cool coffee grounds under the eyes for a few minutes and rinse off later. For dark circles, mix coffee grounds in olive oil to make a paste. Apply the paste under the eyes and leave it on for about ten minutes. Rinse off with water or wipe the mask off gently with a soft cloth.

Beauty Benefits of Coffee

It brightens and tones

Just the way coffee wakes your body up in the morning, it can also revitalize your skin. Using a coffee mask in your beauty routine can give you radiant skin.

Mix a cup of coffee with few spoons of milk for a thick consistency. Apply as a face mask and leave on for about 15 minutes. The mask will also help detoxify and remove dead cells. Rinse off after.

Coffee blasts away cellulite

Coffee may help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin. It does this by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow. You can use coffee scrubs consistently for these benefits.

It can treat acne

Acne is a common and problematic skin issue. Coffee’s properties like anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria, and natural exfoliation can fight acne and harmful bacteria that come with it.

Since coffee also smoothens, brightens, and calms skin, the treatment will leave you with flawless skin.

The beauty benefits of coffee go on and on. If you’re not comfortable with a DIY approach using coffee and other household materials, you can always opt for skincare products with caffeine or coffee beans in them.
