Coffee is full of antioxidants which tighten and firm the skin as well as work as an anti-aging skin softener. It has been shown that the coffee berries alone have three times the amount of antioxidants as green tea which has been proven to be great for skin care issues. The berry is extracted to reduce wrinkles, sun damage and discoloration of skin. This is why it is found in many sunscreens.

Coffee is being used in some of the top brand skin lotions such as Avon, L’Oreal and Neutrogena because of it’s antioxidants and the fact that it is a diuretic and a vasoconstrictor. For years, caffeine has been included in skin products to help fight cellulite by dehydrating fat cells and energizing them vacating the sodium and potassium components of cells. Caffeine is a favorite ingredient in certain eye gels as well to help reduce puffiness and dark eye circles. Coffee has also been included in many different skin care products such as face creams, body scrubs, exfoliates and fragrances.
