“Drinking more coffee will darken the skin. This is a common misconception. Medical research has proven that the color-related components in coffee are organic substances, which are digested and absorbed once they enter the stomach. At the same time, coffee is rich in various effective beauty ingredients, which help reduce pigmentation, enhance skin radiance, provide auxiliary sun protection, fight skin aging, eliminate edema, tighten the skin, and assist with weight loss, etc.” A beauty expert explained.
“According to a report published in the *Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology*, an authoritative American medical journal, coffee berry extract contains a high concentration of polyphenols with strong antioxidant capacity, so it has potential anti-aging effects on the skin. The coffee oil in coffee is also favored by beauty enthusiasts because it is rich in linoleic acid. It can prevent skin aging and inflammation and make the skin more elastic. Meanwhile, the antioxidants in coffee effectively help reduce damage to the skin from ultraviolet rays and external air pollution.” Experts explained that topical application of coffee berry cream can also repair UV damage, with its antioxidant effects comparable to those of green tea polyphenols. Therefore, people who drink coffee regularly can effectively reduce and prevent damage to the skin and body from radiation such as sunlight and computers.
In addition, coffee has excellent antioxidant effects, and regular consumption can promote the body's metabolism. Annoying skin problems for women, such as dark circles, thick cuticles, and excessive sebum secretion, can be improved by drinking an appropriate amount of coffee daily. “Finally, it is worth mentioning that coffee is suitable for any weight loss method. On one hand, coffee can accelerate energy consumption, and the reaction that accompanies this leads to the accelerated oxidation of fats and carbohydrates. On the other hand, the antioxidant chlorogenic acid rich in coffee can reduce the absorption of fats in the intestines, and the trigonelline in coffee can increase the excretion of fats from cells. Therefore, coffee can help people stay slim and fight obesity in any diet method,” experts say.
