Which one ingredient is it?

Coffee of course! You can easily add coffee to your simple bodycare routine. 

For many coffee is a favourite drink. However, coffee has many more benefits than just waking you up in the morning.

Just to be clear, we are talking about the caffeine in coffee, which is also present in countless other foods.

Benefits of coffee for health and for smooth radiant skin

• Studies have shown that coffee has many health benefits. These benefits include lowering the risk of type II diabetes, some types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
• Coffee is even considered to reduce the impact of UV exposure
• Activates lymphatic drainage, removing excess fluid from the body and reducing puffiness
• Improves circulation
• Coffee is full of antioxidants, which fight free radicals which contribute to premature ageing of the skin

How to drink coffee for health benefits

Drinking coffee has many health benefits. To get the most health benefits from drinking coffee follow these simple rules:

1. Drink natural, real coffee. That is the coffee which is ground and then either boiled on the hob or brewed in a cafetiere. Coffee is rich in antioxidants and vitamin B.

None of that instant coffee please, which does not have any benefits for your skin.

2. Resist adding sugar to your coffee.  We have already listed some negative effects of processed sugar on your skin and the overall health in this helpful article.

To sump up, sugar is not your friend. 

As the saying goes “everything in moderation”. This includes coffee, which you should also limit.

3. No drinking coffee by the gallon. For maximum benefit, restrict yourself to 3 cups of coffee a day.

Because caffeine removes fluid from the body, it is recommended to have a small glass of water after a cup of coffee.

Making natural coffee scrub at home helps reduce the appearance of cellulite by breaking down the fat cells in your body. This is why coffee is often included in many bodycare products. 

Coffee body scrub helps improve the appearance of your skin by removing those annoying red bumps on your legs.

This stuff really works! I have been using natural coffee scrub for years. 

And on top of that, coffee is a natural antioxidant contributing to healthier and smoother skin. This goes for your skin on your face and body.

It is no wonder that caffeine is included in so many skincare products.
