For the flowery, nutty, and smoky fragrance, ancient people used it as a beverage of nobility, but now it is more than that. Nowadays, coffee is used for various skincare treatments. Applying coffee on the face prevents sunspots, redness, fine lines, and thus it reduces the photogenic effects on your skin. The antioxidants present in coffee stimulate every core of your skin and Vitamin B3 helps in transforming the trigonelline into niacin that prevents the nonmelanoma skin cancer. The chlorogenic acid in coffee reduces the inflammatory effects on your skin and prevents acne.
