Caffeine and Skin Care
Caffeine which is found in the tea and coffee we take has some effects on the skin in three different ways. The first one works as an antioxidant for fighting any aging signs, a diuretic which makes the skin appear smoother and become a vasoconstrictor to help in the reduction of puffiness and the dark circles that are caused by vasodilatation. Many people have questioned whether ingesting caffeine is beneficial to the skin.
The truth is that there seems to be a benefit and a detriment to consumption of caffeine. Oral consumption of caffeinated green or black tea or caffeine alone is beneficial. The effect of excessive consumption of caffeine is the sunscreen effect and it enhances UVB-induced apoptosis. Caffeine can also be used to treat cellulite as it is a typical ingredient in cellulite and lotions. It is thus advisable to take the right amount of caffeine that will be helpful to the skin.
