Coffee, like coconut oil or avocado, is one of those ingredients that you always have at home and that provide many natural benefits for your beauty. Discover how to include coffee in your beauty routine with these four benefits of coffee for the skin.
Antioxidant
.
Coffee is rich in antioxidants, especially the so-called flavonoids. Why are antioxidants important in an anti-aging routine? Because they fight free radicals, external aggressions such as the sun’s rays, pollution and dirt; which are the main causes of premature aging.
Scrub for glowing skin
.
A coffee scrub will help you get that natural glow your skin needs. You can make a homemade scrub that will make your skin brighter by placing coffee beans in filtered water and a little epsom salts.
Reduce swelling
.
When you wake up with puffy eyes due to not having slept well or because of stress, an excellent home remedy is to save the coffee grounds you drink in the morning, let it cool and apply it on the lower eyelid. Caffeine helps constrict blood vessels, reduces puffiness, and helps make your eyes look more awake.
Fight cellulite
.
This is perhaps the best use of coffee in cosmetics and it is the anti-cellulite creams that contain it that ensure that caffeine stimulates blood flow and helps to firm the skin. Remember that you must be very constant and apply it to areas such as the thighs and buttocks every day. If you also do it with a massage in ascending circles, it will be much better.
