Many of us can't live without our morning cup 'o joe, but did you realize that caffeine may also be great for our skin too? Not only does it work as a diuretic, so when ingested it provides a bevy of healthful benefits, but it's also a stimulant often used to treat cardiac ailments. When used in cosmetics, caffeine's diuretic effects are believed to help deflate puffiness, increase circulation and minimize those bothersome dark circles under our eyes.
Caffeine can actually be found in a remarkable amount of products, including serums, toners, eye creams, cleansers, cellulite treatments and moisturizers. There are also many more products that use the unripe coffee fruit, called coffeeberry, which is rich in potent antioxidants. Murad Resurgence [https://www.resurgence.com/murad-resurgence2.asp] offers a number of products containing this skincare superstar.
Some stellar product picks that make use of the skincare power player include eye creams which are able to boost and brighten the eye area. Murad Moisture Silk Eye Gel contains caffeine and allantoin to hydrate and rejuvenate. Look for a moisturizer containing caffeine and lightly pat a few drops over your entire face, being sure to also include the neck, one of the first areas to see the signs of aging.
You can also look for a coffee scrub to stimulate circulation and get your entire body in tip-top shape to face the day. If you're battling cellulite, you can smooth the appearance of dimples with creams enriched with caffeine to reduce the visible marks of cellulite.
So is caffeine great for everyone? Not necessarily. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to caffeine, stay away. Pregnant women should also check with their doctor before using anything containing caffeine to make sure it's safe.
With consistent use, skincare and beauty products featuring caffeine may help to reduce puffiness and inflammation and smooth skin's texture, as well as to help minimize the appearance of dark, under eye circles giving you a resurgence in youthful, glowing skin.
