Coffee is one of the foods that has the most benefits for the skin. Thus, it is a resource widely used in aesthetics for external use. Coffee is present in all kinds of creams, lotions, gels, roll-on, capsules… If you want to use it as a product that improves your skin, it is normal that you apply an external treatment, impregnating yourself with it (at home or going to an aesthetician or neurologist), but coffee in capsules also rewards you with its vitalizing properties. Coffee is a highly beneficial product for our body. Today we will show you what are the benefits of coffee for the skin, but you should know that it also has other very beneficial uses. Some are stimulation of attention and concentration, learning and good memory. In addition, it helps fight depression in some people.
What You Need
- Coffee in all its forms (ground coffee, beans to prepare it, coffee makers already made …).
- Another product that serves to mix with coffee and change its consistency.
Instructions
- Coffee stimulates blood circulation. That is why it is used in various beauty treatments. From fighting cellulite to treating varicose veins, reducing bags and dark circles, decongesting the area and lowering swelling. The best way to apply it in the area of dark circles is to soak a cotton ball in ready-made coffee (just as our mothers did to us as children when we had “bad” eyes).
- The high concentration of caffeine allows the increase of cells responsible for burning fat, this being another reason why it is used in anti-cellulite treatments and products. In addition, it is possible that, for this reason, if you use it, you also reduce your measures, yes, it will only be effective if you really apply coffee in an area with fat.
Coffee is also able to break down the clusters of fatty tissues. For these three reasons, coffee is one of the most used resources against cellulite. - Coffee is a highly effective natural exfoliate. Its texture allows cell renewal, dragging dead skin with a massage in direct contact with the skin. It can be applied alone or accompanied by some other product that complements its effects, such as yogurt and honey. Its grain allows a controlled mechanical exfoliation. This regeneration causes a revitalization of the skin, thus obtaining fresh, soft and hydrated skin.
- Coffee is bleaching. Increasingly, coffee is used in aesthetic treatments to whiten the skin, thus complementing other of its many benefits.
- Coffee is antioxidant. Naturally, with its use, you will be delaying or preventing premature aging of the skin, protecting the body from free radicals.
- Coffee is also astringent. As we have indicated in the first point, the application of coffee on our dark circles will help us reduce swelling, but this point is applicable to the rest of our body.
- Coffee is anti-inflammatory so it is suitable for use, for example, on our entire face after an infection (pimples). Its astringent effect, in addition, makes coffee eliminate bad odors and clean quite deeply.
Councils
- Exercise is the best treatment for your skin to be firm, vigorous, luminous, shiny and sporting a lot of beneficial features. Accompany the application of coffee on your skin with three sessions per week of moderate exercise and you will see that its effects multiply.
- After applying coffee directly to the skin (and having waited for the corresponding time), do not forget to rinse with warm water to remove the remains.
- These benefits are not only achieved through the direct application of coffee on the skin, but you can drink it to also obtain very good results.
- Finally, there are coffee “supplements” on the market, which provide your body with all these properties. This is another option if you do not like the taste of coffee, do not have time to drink it, or prefer to replace it with another food at mealtime.
- Beware of caffeine as it causes an addiction that can lead to being harmful.
- It is also worth mentioning that coffee can cause some people to let go of their bellies, therefore, try to combine the intake of this drink with the application of the product on the skin, so as not to consume it in excess.
- Do not worry if when massaging the areas with cellulite with coffee you notice a moderate or intense itching; it’s normal, as blood will be flowing quickly in a way you won’t be used to.
