Body Scrubs are amazing. They have an abundance of benefits for your skin and body, like:
- Removing dead skin
- Allowing your body to absorb moisturizer better
- Reducing stress
- Clearing acne and blemishes
But one of the greatest favours you can do to your body is to use a coffee body scrub. I understand that it may sound a bit weird, after all everyone mostly associates coffee as a necessary beverage that is drunk each morning which allows us to function throughout the day. But coffee scrubs are astonishing for your skin and here are a few reasons why:
Coffee is an Antioxidant
- Oxidation can cause reactions on your skin like acne and eczema, but caffeine as an antioxidant helps to reduce these reactions
- A coffee scrub can help fix UV damage on your skin (sun spots, pigmentation and freckles)
- The antioxidant properties help to calm inflamed skin, uneven skin tone and even sensitive skin
Fresh and Healthy Skin
- Coffee is a natural exfoliator (not a chemical exfoliator), which removes dead skin, leaving your skin soft and smooth.
- The caffeine can help to temporarily reduce cellulite by increasing blood flow
- Coffee scrubs work to tighten blood vessels which then can create a firmer appearance
- Coffee scrubs can be used to fight the manifestation of varicose veins
Stimulant
- The exfoliation powers of a body scrub combined with coffee help to stimulate and wake up your skin
- Coffee scrubs improve and stimulate blood circulation
