COFFEE FOR SKIN AND HAIR CARE

in #coffee7 years ago

Coffee also can be usefull for the beauty, such as facial beauty, skin care, hair beauty and so on!!

It conteins:

Protein and Amino Acids;
Carbohydrates;
Aliphatic acids (carboxylic acids);
Chlorogenic acid;
Fats and derivatives;
Glycosides;
Mineral;
Caffeine;
Trigonelline

Coffee contains antioxidants that can be able to REMOVE DEAD SKIN cells (which caused by free radicals) so the face will look brighter.

Use coffee grounds as a scrub for the skin. This can help to SLIM YOUR BODY because coffee contains caffeine that will destroy the fat in the body (so it s also good to DESTROY THE CELULITE)

It ca help REDUCING THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER (caffeine can inhibit the enzyme protein in the skin that is often called as ART, scientists found that the coffee powder when applied directly to the skin, it can block the UV rays that is able to trigger skin cancer)

Coffe can also ELIMINATE DARK SPOT AND ACNE SCARS, and make your skin MORE TIGHT

If you want to use coffee as a skin treatment you just have to apply the coffe powder with water (or honey, yogurt, aloe vera, herbal infusions...) and use it to scrub your face and body for some minutes, then wash. Or if you want you can just wash your face with the liquid coffee drink (then wash with water)

There are also lots of benefits for the hair, such as:

Hair GROWTH STIMULATION ( Caffeine works by inhibiting the production of DHT which causes malnutrition and thinning of the hair. Previously, they had similar studies in 2007 and showed that caffeine can stimulate hair growth and make it a length of about 33-40%.)

To make your hair stronger and healthy using coffee you can make a coffee mask by applyng the coffee powder (boil it and then use it with its dark water) and let it on your hair for about 1 hour, then wash. If you want you can add other products to your mask, such as olive oil, or coconut oil, lemon/orange, yogurt, vinagre, aloe vera, cinnamon, etc (it depends of what your hair needs)

If you want to DIY YOUR HAIR of brown, you can just wash your hair as usual, and then apply liquid coffee as last-rise. Then let it dry. It will give amazing hot brown shines

Personally, I ve been using coffee masks/scrubs on my face and body skin minimum 3 times per week, and I can say that IT S AMAZING!!

I used to have some skin problems such as acne and infections spetially on my back, since i started this treatments I completaly change! Now my skin is super clean soft and shining! It s also good for the celulite, I really saw a big difference. Usually I mix the coffee with other ingredients, like aloe vera, cinnamon, lemon, ginger... I don t even use soap anymore, it just makes my skin dry and old

I used it on my hair too, once I made a mask with coffee, olive oil, vinagre and aloe vera. My hair got so soft! XD

I hope I ve been helpfull for all those people (vegan or no) who prefere natural cares than chemical ones.

Wow I had no idea about this!! So you would recommend using the grounds as a mask? What d9 you mix it with? Following you for sure!

you can mix it with water, or with some herbal tea(chamomile tea, ginger tea...). If you have acne problems you can mix it with cinnamon powder, or lemon, or aloe vera. If you want to look younger just mix it with some oil (coconut oil or olive oil are very good). If you have infections or acne problems don t use oil or hot water on your skin or it will make it so much worse.
Me for example i want to take off the old skin, fight acne and infections, and make my skin look tight and bright, so I mix coffe with cinnamon powder and ginger juice or lemon (or another acid thing like tomato, orange...). Another great ingredient is the aloe vera gel. I have lots of plants of it in my house, but it s not a very commun plant in some countries, I think they sell the aloe vera gel in some specific stores.
PS Becarefull with cinnamon because it can cause allergies
