Coffee, that beloved morning companion, can also wake up… your complexion!
A natural exfoliant
Thanks to its granular texture, coffee grounds rid the skin of dead cells. The result: a more radiant complexion and softer skin, just like after a good exfoliation at a salon .
A circulation booster
Caffeine stimulates microcirculation. It gives that healthy glow we love. Applied topically, coffee tones the skin and revives it.
Goodbye to bags under the eyes
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. Simply put, it constricts blood vessels, reducing puffiness and swelling. A quick fix for those rough mornings !
A concentrate of antioxidants
Coffee is full of antioxidants, those invisible active ingredients that protect the skin from free radicals, responsible for premature aging.
The winning combo: coffee + Vaseline
Combining these two ingredients is a bit like combining a scrub and a hydrating mask in one step. The coffee cleanses, while the petroleum jelly repairs and moisturizes.
Result: smooth, soft, luminous… and protected skin.
How does it work?
- Exfoliation: coffee removes impurities
