If you are a tried and true coffee lover who is looking to beautify your appearance, then the great news for you is the fact that coffee has beneficial properties that not only affect your health and wellness, but your appearance too! In the past several years, there have been hundreds of products on the market that contain caffeine to work to heal and restore your complexion. Coffee was actually in question several years ago by the FDA because studies were unsure whether or not it was good for you. There were several negative studies released, though they were later found to be incorrect because the coffee drinkers within the tests were also smokers, so the findings were inaccurate.
The good news for you to know about coffee relating to your skin care is that caffeine is a vasodilator which works to firm and tighten your complexion. Coffee is also naturally full of antioxidants, and I am sure that you have seen numerous skin care products on the market that are focusing on using antioxidants to heal and restore damage to your face. It has been said in the past that drinking too much caffeine will affect your skin negatively because it is a diuretic, so it will draw necessary moisture from your complexion. However, if you do drink coffee in moderation, then you will be enjoying numerous antioxidants that will work to fight free radicals in your cells and counteract the appearance of damage to your face.
Caffeine is also currently being used in skin creams and lotions because, as I mentioned earlier, it is a vasodilator, which means that it constricts blood cells. The benefit of caffeine for your skin is that it will firstly work to reduce redness. Secondly, it will firm and tighten surface of your skin through constriction, so many companies are using this ingredient to reduce the appearance of cellulite. The caffeine in coffee when used in skin care works to dehydrate fatty cells so that water will disappear from the surface of your skin. This means that the appearance of cellulite is minimized, and your skin begins to look smoother overall.
Another popular use for caffeine in beauty products is within eye creams because that is an area that needs smoothing and firming for dramatic results. Using caffeine in this delicate area can easily tighten fine lines and smooth puffy surfaces. I am sure that if you look in your local beauty or skin care aisle, you will notice numerous high quality products that utilize coffee as an ingredient. The bonus to this is that your products will also smell delicious and be a pleasure to use. The benefit to your skin is that it will be absorbing caffeine to tighten and firm your appearance. There are even new studies showing that coffee inhibits the growth of skin cancer cells, so the benefits of using beauty products and skin care products that contain coffee and caffeine are numerous. Now you can not only enjoy drinking your cup of Joe, but you can use it for a flawless appearance as well!

Hey, thanks! Glad you appreciate the info :)
Ha! We should have known! Have you found any home recipes that include coffee for skin care?
Of course! This is a really easy recipe, so let me know how you like it. :) http://www.thecoffeebump.com/blog/2009/10/make-you
Well, I reduced the recipe and tried it as a facial, gently, as the comments on complexion were my main interest. It was somewhat refreshing, enough so that I might try it regularly for a while to test results. Thanks!
Oh, great to hear! :)
...oh, i've never thought of this before...thanks... :)
Hi Mr/Ms Chuggin McCoffee.
"Vasodilators" DO NOT constrict blood cells(VESSELS).
(Vaso / vessel - dilator / to make it wider) I believe the word you are looking for is "Vasoconstriction".
Great post--I love coffee and feel it's getting a bad rap these days. Check out my Hub on "Quit paying for expensive face creams-make your own." Keep up the good work-

That's an interesting thing,I am a coffee lover but did not know about its banavolent properties....liked it!!!. Caffeine is also known to have some sun blocking effects.
Thanks all!
@DXmusic Yes, caffeine does have some natural sun blocking benefits, so thank you for the input. :)
Yes I knew caffeine was an ingredient used in many products besides drinks. It has many good benefits if it isn't abused.
Thanks for your information.
Too bad I don't drink coffee, but good info though.
Interesting post on coffee and skin care.
Gee, I love coffee. Thanks for sharing!
I heard about this before. Never knew coffee could be so good for your skin. Love coffee!
Interesting hub! Now I have another reason for loving coffee... Found a simple coffee facial recipe. Simply mix ground coffee and milk to make a pasty mixture then apply onto face and neck.
I suggest boiling a bag of green tea and after its cooled down open the bag and apply the leaves to your face for 15 minutes. Afterwords, when the mask has dried and tightened your skin, moisten your hands and use the leaves as a scrub. Green tea has many benefits! Just look it up for yourself:)
Love this hub. I've always worried about drinking coffee cause of the effects it might bring on my skin. It's a good thing I've read your post.
Caffeine cosmetics... there's always something new to learn about coffee. And I've always just looked at coffee as something to drink. My wife is never going to believe me :)
Dear ChugginMcCoffee: This is why I love Hubpages and the Hubcommunity. Great articles and I learn something new everyday. Great hub. I learned something new! Verrry Intersting!
any coffee at supermarket can do as a scrub?
i've been using coffee scrubs at home and it works really well on my skin! make's my skin feel smooth and clear from blemishes!!!
I went to ask for a recipe for a DIY coffee scrub but you beat me to the punch. I can't wait to try it. Although now I may be tempted to try to lick it off.
cofee is great in taste i would love this more
I do agree with Junior. Coffee is instead a vasoconstrictor. That does not seem to contradict its benefits for skin, but i'd suggest changing that in your article. Reason why it helps with migraines: counter acts the vasodilatory effect by vasoconstriction.
Great post none the less. I'm making coffee as I type =)
What what I know Coffee is a good sourcxe of anti oxidant, What IU just did tonight Is, I had a concentrated coffee almost like a cream then I applied it to my face. after 30 minutes I notice my skin becomes constricted, appearing smooth. and the fine lines around my eyes were gone that instant. Just saying it might help :)
Very good and interesting hub! Love scrubs and now I can make my own coffee scented one! thanks and SHARED!
