The Perfect Coffee Break

Every coffee lover knows the benefits of coffee to awaken the senses and stimulate the mind, but it can also perk up the skin.

Coffee has widely been known to reduce cellulite and tighten the skin. With a little bit of coffee oil or some coffee grounds used in a body scrub you can scrub away acne scars while reducing cellulite. Caffeine on the skin has also been used as a reductive technique for water retention.

It also is a great anti-oxidant inside and out. Use a lotion with caffeine in it and enjoy the benefits of gently detoxifying the skin and reducing free-radicals which build up in the skin from daily exposure to air pollution. Protecting the skin from exposure to free radicals has also been known to slow the process of premature aging.

Caffeine can decrease dark under-eye circles and bags. Dark circles under the eye can be caused by many things. Some of the causes are lack of sleep, allergies, poor genetics, or dehydration, but coffee extract helps reduce the inflammation and accumulation of blood which are factors leading to dark shadows under the eye.

Just as coffee can brighten your day it can brighten the skin. Try it at home with your own coffee grounds or professionally made skincare products which have coffee extract as a key ingredient for a more therapeutic and potent blend for especially tired skin.
