Antioxidant properties
Coffee is rich in antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid, which can help combat free radicals in the skin that can cause premature ageing and damage to the skin.
Anti-inflammatory
Coffee contains anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and swelling.
Caffeine
Caffeine, found in coffee, can constrict blood vessels, reducing puffiness and redness. It is often used in eye creams to reduce under-eye bags and dark circles.
Exfoliation
The coarse texture of coffee grounds can be used as a natural exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother and brighter.
Improved circulation
When used in scrubs or masks, coffee can stimulate blood flow, promoting healthier, more radiant skin.
