I love to smell fresh coffee in the early hours of the day (actually, I think I like the smell of coffee at home more than drinking it! LOL). But the benefits of coffee go far beyond just a great and bright wake-up in the morning; and being an excellent product for your skincare routine is one of them!
How Can Coffee Benefit My Skin?
Coffee has certain properties that have been scientifically proven to benefit you and your skincare routine. These properties have been utilized by the cosmetics industry for years, but you can use them at home too. Do you want to know what these benefits are?
Let’s start with something that we all want from the bottom of our hearts: something that will help us slow down the aging process.
This process is caused by different factors, and there is not just one reason for our skin showing signs of aging. Therefore, there is not just one miracle treatment!
But some substances can delay aging! They are the “famous antioxidants,” and guess what has antioxidant properties? That’s right, coffee! Actually, it’s the caffeine in the coffee, but we will talk more about that soon.
“ The daily consumption of coffee pulp extract products can slow the skin aging process and improve skin health.”
2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC. – Study
Antioxidant Properties
Nowadays, most skincare cosmetic products that contain caffeine use oils distilled from the green coffee beans.
These oils are rich in polyphenols, triacylglycerols, sterols and tocopherols, and other components with complicated names (LOL) that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Because of its antioxidant properties, caffeine is a super warrior to fight against skin aging by reducing free radicals. Free radicals are the villains of the story; they are responsible for the degradation of healthy cells in the body and thus accelerate premature aging.
At the same time, caffeine also stimulates cellular regeneration and skin revitalization, giving us a younger appearance.
Did you know that coffee has more antioxidants than some teas? It does! So why not kick your day off with a small cup without sugar?
How Much Coffee Could You Drink in A Day?
Healthy adults appear to be able to consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day (that’s 2–4 cups of coffee.)
“Moderation is the key to anything, so drink coffee in moderation”.
Does Caffeine Help Smooth the Appearance of Cellulite?
Yes, this is not a myth!
Seriously? Whoopee!
Caffeine helps to soften the appearance of cellulite by:
- Improving Blood Flow
- Antioxidant Properties
- Anti-inflammatory Properties
- Massaging (with coffee scrub, for example) improves lymphatic drainage, eliminating excess water, which can minimize the appearance of cellulite.
Caffeine also helps the body burn fat because it belongs to the family of methylxanthines, which have been shown to increase metabolism and help breakdown fat (so, coffee it’s a great addition to your skincare routine, right?).
This helps promote firmer skin. Thus, it is advisable to bet on products that have caffeine in their composition, such as coffee scrubs.
If you’re interested, you can make your own coffee scrub using the recipe below.
But we know that cellulite is difficult to treat. In fact, we cannot cure cellulite, only soften its appearance.
If you already have cellulite, know that you are not alone — at least eight out of ten women have this aesthetic problem, technically called gynoid lipodystrophy.
In short, caffeine can be a good ally in the fight against cellulite, along with choosing healthy lifestyle habits, such as increasing exercise and following a low-fat diet. After all, caffeine will help, but it won’t work like magic, right?
Coffee May Protect Skin from UV Rays
According to research, using coffee ground extract can help protect skin from UV-B rays.
Therefore, coffee extract may protect the skin from sun damage, and consequently against skin cancer and wrinkle formation. But you still need good sunscreen, ok!
“Although it is known that coffee drinking is associated with a decreased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer, there now needs to be studies to determine whether topical caffeine inhibits sunlight-induced skin cancer,”
– Allan Conney, director of the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research.
Treating Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes
If you check, you will see that most cosmetic products for dark circles and under-eye puffiness have caffeine in their composition. But why?
One of the reasons is because water retention causes puffy eyes. As caffeine helps increase local blood circulation, it will help improve water drainage, reducing the appearance of these “bags” under the eyes.
In addition to helping minimize puffy eyes, caffeine also works to eliminate the appearance of dark under-eye circles, due to coffee’s ability to improve blood circulation in the area and its anti-inflammatory action.
But unfortunately, if your dark circles and under-eye puffiness is caused by genetic factors and allergies, caffeine won’t be able to help.

Does Coffee Cause or Treat Acne?
Contrary to popular belief, the coffee scrub is not an efficient acne treatment.
Scrubs clean the skin’s surface, removing dead cells, but acne is caused by a deeper blockage (inside the pores).So, in this specific skincare condition, a coffee scrub will not help.
Learn more about Natural Acne Treatments here
Besides that, caffeine does not cause acne directly, but excessive ingestion of coffee can make acne worse. This is because high coffee intake is linked to increased stress levels, and can cause an increased release of some hormones such as cortisol.
Cortisol is one of the stress hormones that can intensify oil production by the sebaceous glands resulting in more clogged pores.
Remember that we can find caffeine in different foods and beverages, such as teas and chocolate.
More reasons why excessive consumption of coffee can cause acne:
Can I Apply Coffee Directly to My Skin?
Coffee and caffeine are not the same things. Allow me to explain…
Imagine that you want to obtain the benefits of lavender essential oil for your health and skin; the beneficial substances in the oil are present in the lavender plant, correct? So, does that mean I just have to use the plant on my skin?
The answer is NO!
I mean, in our case, we want caffeine instead of coffee. Therefore, using coffee directly on the skin will not bring the benefits we want (One exception is the coffee scrub – As I said before, a great addition to your skincare routine!)
But don’t worry, many conscious companies can manufacture products with adequate concentrations of caffeine, which offer all the benefits that we desire!
P.S – Caffeine is usually found at 3% in topical formulations available commercially.
Ways to use ” Coffee” / Caffeine in Skincare
There are a vast number of ways to use caffeine in your daily beauty routine. Some examples are:
- DIY products such as coffee scrubs (they are amazing!) – See the recipe below
- Eye creams
- Eye patches
- Serums
- Cleansing masks
- Hair products (especially in products developed to stimulate hair growth)
- Makeups
- Moisturizers
- Anti-Cellulite body lotions and creams
Now that you learned more about the skin benefits of caffeine, you can start using it today with some homemade recipes.
Coffee in Your Skincare Routine – Body Scrub
Spring brings a fresh start after the cold of winter, so now that’s the beautiful spring is coming, it’s time to throw away the dry, old, and dead “winter skin!” Let’s learn how to do it with this invigorating and efficient coffee body scrub.
“Seasons change, and so do we.”
NikkiChe
The Avocado Oil is rich in nutrients and vitamins such as Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, Beta carotene, potassium, and lecithin; These nutrients are essential for building and maintaining the skin’s health.
We already know that the coffee scrub is excellent and bring us some benefits, mainly because it improves blood circulation, but this coffee body scrub is special because it’s infused with avocado oil to boost its benefits and reveal your luminous skin.
According to the 2013 study, substances in coffee also promote healthy skin. Caffeic acid, an antioxidant, may increase collagen levels and protect cells from premature aging. Caffeic acid also has good antimicrobial properties, which means it may help protect the skin against germs

Frequently Asked Questions
Caffeine does not cause acne directly, but excessive ingestion of coffee can make acne worse since high coffee intake can increase stress levels, causing the release of some hormones, such as cortisol. Cortisol is one of the stress hormones that can intensify oil production by our sebaceous glands resulting in more frequent breakouts.
Healthy adults appear to be able to consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day (2–4 cups of coffee), but this can vary from individual to individual.
It’s recommended to keep your caffeine consumption to 200mg a day or less (especially if you are pregnant ) since excess caffeine consumption can be harmful.
A cup of tea contains about 15 to 70 mg of caffeine.
A cup of coffee has 80 to 190 mg of caffeine.
These amounts may vary depending on the type of coffee or tea you are consuming.
Yes you can, but remember that coffee and caffeine are two different things. Applying coffee to your skin will not have the same effect as applying a product with higher concentrations of caffeine. To maximize the skincare benefits of caffeine (such as using caffeine to reduce signs of cellulite), look for products with caffeine, rather than coffee, in the formulation.
