1. Brightening the skin

Quoted on the Prevention page, Dr. Julia Hunter, a dermatologist in Beverly Hills, California, said that coffee scrubs can open clogged pores and disguise fine lines on the face.

In fact, the acid content in coffee can also help remove dead skin cells (exfoliation) while facilitating blood flow to the skin tissue to make your skin brighter and radiant.

Eventhough this way is safe and healthy, but of course this effect can't be obtained instantly, it takes time.

2. Preventing skin cancer

According to the results of a study published by the online journal Proceeding the National Academy of Sciences, coffee is also useful for preventing skin cancer. Research conducted in 2011 found that caffeine compounds in coffee can protect your skin from the risk of skin cancer.

According to Erikka Loftfield, one researcher from the Yale School of Public Health also said something similar. Coffee can reduce the effects of sun exposure and UV light on the skin so that your risk of skin cancer is even lower.

Although coffee can prevent skin cancer, it is important to note that there is no better way to protect your skin from sun exposure than using sunscreen.

3. Fading cellulite

The effect of coffee acting as an exfoliator is thought to help disguise cellulite. This is supported by a study published in the Journal of Cosmetology in 2008.

In the study, it was found that cellulite removal creams contain caffeine which can reduce cellulite by 17 percent of the diameter of fat cells. While creams containing siloxanetriol alginate caffeine (SAC) showed a decrease in cellulite up to 26 percent.

Coffee made into scrubs can help disguise cellulite in several ways. First it is thought that caffeine in coffee can help to dilate blood vessels so that it can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Secondly, coffee is also rich in antioxidants which are thought to help to improve healthier skin texture.

4. Reducing panda eyes

When applied to the skin, caffeine can help to reduce the appearance of panda eyes or eye bags. According to skin health expert Jeanette Graf, M.D, caffeine can constrict blood vessels under the skin so that "swelling" under the eyes slowly subsides.

Although caffeine can't completely remove dark circles caused by hereditary factors, applying caffeine under your eyes will deflate swelling and inflammation associated with dark circles. In addition, caffeine can also reduce blood clots under the eyes which cause pandas.

Those are the four benefits of coffee for the skin beauty that you can obtained. Now, you can treat your own skin beauty at home with this natural ingredient. (*)
