If you are like the majority of Americans, you probably rely on your daily cup (or pot) of coffee to help wake you up in the morning. Or, at the least, you enjoy a coffee-based drink on occasion to jump start you when you are tired. Coffee makes you feel clear and alert and helps you put on a better appearance for those you are around.
Maybe because coffee is so effective at turning tired, groggy people into alert and healthy looking people, skin care companies have been starting to experiment with adding caffeine to different skin care products. This has resulted in an explosion of coffee-based products that are meant to do everything from reduce the appearance of cellulite to making under eye circles look less noticeable. In fact, just last year, more than a hundred products containing caffeine were introduced to the market. This makes it easy for you to try out some of these products if you are interested.
So exactly what can you expect if you decide to use a caffeine-based product? First of all, you should not expect to get the same buzz from a coffee face cream that you get from your morning cup of joe. Though some of the coffee may be absorbed through the skin and reach your bloodstream, this process is extremely slow and not very efficient. It would be nice to be able to combine your coffee drinking with making your skin look better, but it just isn't going to happen that way! However, if you choose a product that comes with a coffee scent, you might be able to perk up a bit from that. Since smell is a powerful sense, just smelling a coffee scent might be enough to wake you up a bit. If nothing else, if you enjoy the smell of a fresh pot of brew, you will like smelling your skin care products!
Aside from getting to smell one of your favorite beverages, these new coffee based products might be able to solve some of your common skin problems. For instance, many of these products are touted as being able to firm and tighten your skin, which helps counteract wrinkles and aging skin. There are three different ways in which these products are thought to work, which makes them effective from a variety of angles. Among the ways caffeine works on the skin is as a diuretic, a vasoconstrictor, and an antioxidant. These properties help it do everything from firm up skin to tightening it.
Among the products currently on the market are cellulite-reducing creams, eye gels, and body scrubs. Caffeine seems to help reduce cellulite by dehydrating the cells that cause the lumpiness. This makes these products perfect for thigh and buttock creams. And, for people with puffy eyes or dark circles, caffeine seems to temporarily tighten the skin and reduce the problem.
Some people are even making their own coffee-based products by combining coffee with their favorite skin care products or making scrubs out of the grounds. If you really like the effects of coffee on your skin, it might be a good idea to combine a bunch of different methods to get the effect you are looking for.
While coffee might not solve all of your skin care woes, it might be able to help with quite a few. It is definitely worth trying out because if it works for you, you can start enjoying your coffee before you are even out of the shower in the morning.
