Research says drinking coffee antioxidants can help skin protect against sunscreen

A few days ago, an Indian research institute announced that coffee has been shown to protect against the sun in mice. It is difficult for many people to associate sunscreen with drinking coffee. Does drinking coffee really protect you from the sun? Teacher Nancy, a beauty consultant of this newspaper and a famous beauty expert in Taiwan, explained to us that there is no data to prove that drinking coffee can directly protect against ultraviolet rays, but coffee has a very good antioxidant function. Ultraviolet rays and external air pollution are a kind of stimulation to the skin and have a certain oxidizing effect on the skin. Therefore, antioxidant products can play an auxiliary sunscreen effect.

She suggests that in the season with strong ultraviolet rays, use more skin care products that contain antioxidants, or eat more foods that contain antioxidants, such as eating grapes and grape seeds, red wine polyphenols in red wine, anthocyanins in fruits and vegetables such as cauliflower, lycopene rich in tomatoes and so on.

Teacher Nancy pointed out that whether drinking coffee or extracting caffeine, the main significance for beauty is to promote metabolism, discharge edema, and tighten the skin. Therefore, it often appears in general face loss, lifting and tightening, pouch removal and slimming products. She also warned that many models often drink black coffee on an empty stomach to remove edema, which is indeed very effective, but it does more damage to the intestines and stomach, so if you wake up in the morning with severe edema, you can drink a cup of black coffee after breakfast or drink a cup of coffee with fresh milk directly.
