What makes coffee good for the skin?
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages that people drink to energize themselves.
But, do you know coffee can enhance your skin’s beauty. Coffee is the most popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry too.
Coffee is good for our skin because of its richness in caffeine and antioxidants.
This is the reason why the cosmetic industry is incorporating caffeine as the main ingredient in their products. It can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The antioxidants attack free radicals damaging our skin and improving skin’s elasticity.
Caffeine also possesses anti-inflammatory property which can reduce the inflammation and calm redness of the skin.
Due to this property, it treats puffy eyes and dark circles too. It can repair damages done by the UV rays and make the skin healthy.
Coffee exfoliates the dead skin cells and helps to regenerate the new cells.
Due to this, it also helps to remove cellulite from the skin by dehydrating fatty cells and improves blood circulation in the skin to remove it.

March 6, 2018 at 6:47 pmZinc oxide is the best thing I’ve used for acne, apply it before you go to bed at night and wash it up in the morning. It dries the skin so follow up with the cream/lotion of your choice.
Also, a shot of craft beer everyday would help reduce your acne. Other ferments such as kefir work for this purpose as well.

April 30, 2019 at 6:56 pmHi..how can we apply the serum? can we apply in the morning and evening? If we apply in the morning, serum then sunblock? thanks
Mamta
May 23, 2019 at 7:41 amHi Josh,
There is no serum mentioned in the post, so I am not sure if you are referring to the correct post. If you are talking about the coffee massage oil then yes you can apply it in the morning and evening. You can use this without sunblock, but I always recommend to use sunblock when going out.

Mamta
July 4, 2018 at 11:05 amHi Janani,
Use apple cider vinegar toner. This will close open pores and it will also even out your skin tone. – https://alluringsoul.com/apple-cider-vinegar-toner/

What I’m asking that my skin tone had gone to darker shades… I am using tomato and honey all together but see no change on my face but before an year it had a great impact on my skin… what I should use?
Mamta
July 4, 2018 at 11:02 amHi Chitrangda,
It should have been working if it was working before. It might be because of some change in the environment or your diet. Check that. Try adding lemon juice in your mask. It might help you. You can also apply turmeric face mask to get results – https://alluringsoul.com/turmeric-face-mask/
Kari
June 28, 2018 at 9:26 pmFunny, I just threw yogurt coffee, and tumeric together with a tiny left over bit of bit of calcium bentonite clay. It was awesome. Then I googled and found this. It is actually a real mask.
I also love to put honey and avocado and yogurt with same clay mask. It really takes the years off…for a few days.
I love your recipes. I always say if you can’t put it in your body, don’t put it on your body/face.
Thanks!
Mamta
July 4, 2018 at 10:26 amHi Kari,
Thanks for those kind words. I am so excited this worked for you.

You can apply it as a mask but make sure you won’t rub the under-eye area skin. You can also add few drops of lemon juice to that mask to remove tan.
