KONTAN.CO.ID – Jakarta. Apart from being a drink ingredient, coffee can also be a beauty product, namely coffee masks. Coffee masks do hold a number of potential benefits for the face. The content of various antioxidants in coffee is believed to make coffee masks effective for treating various skin problems.
Here are some of the potential benefits of coffee masks for the face:
1. Soothe the face
Launching Healthline, coffee has been known to have a stimulating effect on the body when drunk. However, research shows the opposite findings. Coffee turns out to have soothing benefits when applied to the skin.
This calming effect cannot be separated from the role of antioxidant compounds in coffee. There are many ways to use a coffee mask for relaxation at home. A fairly practical way is to mix coffee grounds with olive oil or other ingredients that don’t clog pores.
Use a one to one ratio. Then apply it to your face in a circular motion. Let the coffee mask soak into the skin, wait about 15 to 60 minutes. Just rinse with warm water. Use it at least twice a week.

2. Against aging
Apart from being able to make the face more relaxed, the benefits of coffee masks for other faces are preventing premature aging. Applying a coffee mask or coffee paste to the skin can reduce dark spots on the face, redness, and fine lines. If left untreated, all three can trigger premature aging.
Reporting from Verywell Health, the antiaging effect of coffee masks is also obtained from the antioxidant content of this natural substance. Antioxidants can protect the skin from free radicals that can trigger signs of aging.
Several studies have also shown that the oil contained in coffee masks has the same effect as hyaluronic acid antiaging treatment ingredients. The oil from coffee beans can increase collagen and elastin, making skin appear firmer.
3. Prevent skin cancer
Apart from antioxidants, coffee is also enriched with vitamin B3 (niacin). This compound is obtained from the breakdown of trigonelline compounds. Trigonelline compounds can break down into niacin after roasting coffee beans.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the niacin in coffee masks can help prevent nonmelanoma skin cancer.
