Benefits of caffeine in skincare

There are several benefits of including caffeine in your skincare routine - and products. It is safe to say that caffeine's main skin benefits are protection from the elements, anti-inflammation, and increased circulation. But let's dive in.

Caffeine is a great topical ingredient to improve circulation in the skin, so consider it a vital ingredient for under-eye puffiness. According to Dr. Bhavjit Kaur, using a caffeinated under-eye cream is an excellent temporary option to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags. It’s important to know that the results are not long-lasting, so use the topical products that contain this ingredient daily for the best results.

Our Flawless Energising & Oxygenating Caffeine 2-1 Face & Eye Serum is perfect for achieving that results.

 

Slimming and cellulite creams often contain caffeine as an ingredient, which can help to increase blood flow. This can stimulate the removal of fatty acids from the fatty layer in your skin.

A must-have is our Re-Shaping Caffeine Anti-Cellulite Contouring Cream-Gel. This specific treatment is formulated to combat all the signs of cellulite.

Caffeine can help you ward off wrinkles by limiting the amount of free radicals in your body. Free radicals are created when your body metabolises oxygen and can cause wrinkles over time. Dr. Kaur, who is a qualified medical practitioner since 1993 with over 12 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, also stated that caffeine has potent antioxidant properties. Moreover, it protects against the damage caused by UV radiation and hence slows down the process of photoaging the skin.

In sum, coffee is not only an energy booster but also beneficial for the skin. It helps one stay awake and combats several problems like hair thinning and skin-related concerns besides having many health benefits.
