Who doesn’t love coffee?
I (along with millions of other people) enjoy a nice cup of coffee on most mornings. It helps me feel refreshed, and more awake.
There are also health benefits to drinking coffee: like lowering cancer risk, and being full of antioxidants.
But did you know it can also do wonders for your skin?
Here’s what coffee can do for your skin:
Benefits of Coffee
- Coffee is a natural exfoliator
- Coffee can help stimulate blood flow (thanks to the caffeine)
- Coffee targets free radicals (which helps clear up your skin and keeps it looking young)
- Coffee is also anti-inflammatory (goodbye redness!)
- Coffee is filled with antioxidants (which can help with acne)
- Coffee can also protect your skin from UV rays
So, you’re probably wondering how you can get these benefits right?
A simple face mask will do the trick!
Why Do A Coffee Face Mask?
With a coffee face mask you can apply the mask directly to your problem areas, and for those of you that don’t like the taste of coffee – you can still get the good benefits.
Also it can be a quick option to breathe new life into your skin if you’re going to an event or have something special to do.
