Coffee A Superfood That Belongs In Your Skincare Routine
From being a part of your first meal in the morning, to an evening refreshment, and even as nighttime drink before bed (at least for the Italians), coffee is a super food that plays a major role in our modern lives. From being a part of various culinary delicacies to a local drink to being a powerhouse active ingredient in skincare, caffeine has made its way through our lives!
Let’s examine how this super food helps your skin and how you can make the best use of it.
What is Caffeine?
Caffeine is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory element that effectively protects your skin from damage caused by free radicals and has numerous other benefits. When ingested, caffeine acts as a stimulant and has a miraculously brightening effect on our skin.
While we know that caffeine is found in coffee grind or extracts, it can also be infused in skincare products! Wondering why? Let’s look at its benefits!
What are the benefits of Caffeine for the skin?
In another blog, we discussed the benefits of using caffeine for improving your skin’s quality, health, and appearance in detail. However, here are some major benefits of this super food:-
- Contrary to its awakening effect when consumed as a beverage, coffee actually soothes your skin by calming any redness, inflammation, or irritation you may be experiencing.
- Just like the beverage, coffee skincare products can be used to make you look more recharged as it constricts blood vessels and lightens dark circles almost instantly.
- If you notice excess retention in your skin, you can use caffeine skincare products like a face wash, serum or mask to de-puff any puffiness or swollen areas on your face.
- Coffee effectively exfoliates dead skin cells and clogged pores which eventually lead to acne flare ups.
Who should use coffee skincare products?
As we now know, coffee has antioxidants & anti-inflammatory properties which best tend to skin types that need soothing, tightening, and brightening. And people with acne-prone and ageing skin are the ones who need to redeem these caffeine benefits the most! While mostly people with ageing skin and relevant concerns like premature development of wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and hyper-pigmentation, etc., should use coffee skincare products, people who have crossed the age of 25 can also start using them regularly to prevent ageing signs before they make a prominent mark!
How often to use coffee skincare products?
It is best to inculcate caffeine skincare products in your skincare routine only once a day. As it is considered to have a strong effect on your skin, it is enough to use this robust ingredient once a day, preferable in your AM or morning skincare routine.
On that note, if you don’t have visible signs of ageing, or dull skin, you can also choose to use coffee skincare products every alternate day or less frequently. As long as you’re using it regularly, a radiant glow is guaranteed!
