Coffee isn't just that hot drink you need to get through the day, it's also an ingredient you can use in face masks! These 3 DIY coffee face masks are easy to make and oh-so effective for clearing up skin, reversing the signs of aging, and fixing imperfections. Coffee is often used in anti-cellulite body scrubs, but it also makes for a great face mask ingredient because of its anti-aging and exfoliating properties.
Why Coffee Is So Great For the Skin…
Coffee is packed full of antioxidants and, naturally, caffeine. Antioxidants detoxify the skin, helping it get rid of toxins, dirt, and impurities, while caffeine energizes the skin and helps reverse the signs of aging.
Caffeine also improves skin's elasticity, and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, coffee is great for dark under eye circles, puffy eyes, and so much more! It can also help repair damage done by UV rays, and regenerates new cells.
