Benefits Coffee has on your Skin

Your morning cup of coffee is so much more than just an energy booster, as this well-loved beverage is also gaining a reputation as an alternative remedy for the skin. This is due to its antioxidants, which include phenols that help fight free radicals that can lead to skin damage.

The skin benefits from coffee are primarily obtained topically, hence it works best when
coffee grounds are made into masks, pastes and scrubs. Here are 5 skin benefits coffee
can have on your skin.

Cellulite reduction
Yes—coffee may help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin, as the caffeine
content in coffee is the key to cellulite reduction as it dilates blood vessels beneath the
skin and improves overall blood flow.

R+B’s body scrub helps to reduce cellulite and also exfoliates your skin to ensure that your
skin is smooth with an even appearance.

Reduced inflammation
The caffeine and chlorogenic acids (CGA) contained in coffee can help reduce
inflammation and hyperpigmentation that are caused by skin issues such as eczema, acne
and psoriasis.

Anti-aging benefits
Looking to reduce the appearance of sun spots, redness, and fine lines? Applying coffee
directly to your skin may help with that. The caffeine and antioxidants within the coffee
grounds helps to stimulate blood flow, which gives your skin that stunning glow. Check out
R+B’s skin moisturiser which is packed with the extract of repurposed coffee grounds that
will help to keep your skin looking its best.

Acne treatment
When applied correctly, the regular use of coffee could help combat problems from harmful
bacteria. The CGAs in coffee have both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. All
these benefits combined with the natural exfoliation of coffee grounds, can help to fight
and reduce acne.

Try out R+B’s Exfoliating Face scrub together with the Moisturising Face Cream for optimal
results.

Dark circles
As much as coffee helps to even out your skin, coffee may also help treat dark circles
under the eyes, as the caffeine content in coffee helps dilate blood vessels that contribute
to dark circles. Goodbye dark circles, and hello rejuvenated skin!
