However, you can get these benefits if you eat them in reasonable amounts. And now, scientists from the American Chemical Society say coffee is also beneficial for maintaining healthy skin.
This benefit is obtained from the high antioxidant content of coffee.
Well, we can get the benefits of coffee for skin health by using it topically. For example, use it as a mask or scrub.
Here are the various benefits of coffee for skin health that are a pity to miss:
1. Reducing cellulite
The caffeine content in coffee can actually help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin.
The reason is, caffeine helps dilate blood vessels under the skin and increase overall blood flow. Gradually, this can reduce the appearance of cellulite.
To get this benefit, we can use coffee as a scrub.
2. Delay aging
The appearance of sunspots, redness, and fine lines on the face are signs of aging. It could also appear to be more precise.
To prevent this condition from occurring, we can apply coffee directly to the skin.
3. Prevent skin cancer
Coffee is also rich in vitamin B3 due to the breakdown of a key compound called trigonelline. Triginellin can break down into niacin after roasting the coffee beans.
Research from the Skin Cancer Foundation also said that niacin helps prevent non-melanoma skin cancer.
4. Acne treatment
Coffee also contains chlorogenic acid which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. By using it as a scrub, it helps us to fight self-confident pimples.
5. Eliminate dark circles in the eyes
You can also use the caffeine in coffee to dilate blood vessels to get rid of dark circles under the eyes.
To use it, we can mix half a spoon of coffee with olive oil. Then add a little water. After that, rub it under the eyes and let it dry for five to 10 minutes. (Ariska Puspita Anggraini)
