In addition to being the inevitable company of many people when waking up, working or while sharing special moments... Coffee unites us, makes us happy, communicates and comforts us.
On the other hand, it has specific benefits for our skin, which have been the subject of research and disclosure over the years.
I, a coffee lover, born in a coffee country forever and a witness to the benefits of this blessed grain, want to show you 5 benefits that it brings to your skin!.
Coffee consumption:
- Protects the skin against ultraviolet radiation from the sun, thus reducing accelerated aging and tumors induced in cells damaged by this radiation.
- Protects against basal cell carcinoma. In studies conducted in Europe, a lower risk of this tumor was found in those who drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day.
- Decreases the risk of suffering from melanoma. There is sufficient and good quality evidence on this fact.
- Reduces dryness of the skin (increases its uptake of water and decreases its loss), decreases peeling and improves skin circulation.
- It works as an anti-inflammatory (maximum consumption of 3 cups a day), thus being a protective factor in dermatitis, rosacea and other conditions that classically cause inflammation of the skin.
