Caffeine, beauty new myth?

Caffeine has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Caffeine has always been an active ingredient in beauty products, and traditional beauty benefits include eliminating puffiness, improving skin tightness, and refreshing aromas to help you exude vitality. But new research shows that caffeine, as a potential beauty ingredient, has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, keeping skin cells healthy.

In the experiment, the University of Washington added caffeine to healthy skin cells and skin cells damaged by ultraviolet rays at the same time. The results show that caffeine can kill damaged cells without causing damage to healthy cells, indicating that local use of caffeine can effectively prevent skin cancer and other sun-induced skin damage. Dr Leslie Baumann of the University of Miami also said: "caffeine is an effective antioxidant." Carnier immediately responded to the new discovery by adding caffeine to both moisturizing and sunscreen products to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. At the same time, skin care giants and sunscreen manufacturers are also eager to try.

Where is caffeine most effective?

Eliminate cellulite: caffeine is a very popular ingredient in slimming products. Because caffeine itself is a diuretic, through massage, it can help the accumulated excess cellular fluid out of the skin, tighten the fat mass and improve the phenomenon of orange peel. At the same time, caffeine can stimulate the production of enzymes and decompose fat cells when combined with other ingredients. But the researchers also say that the improvement of caffeine on orange peel tissue is temporary and that it is best to use it all year round to maintain the effect.

Eliminate periocular edema: as a favorite ingredient of eye cream, caffeine can improve the dark circles around the eyes and shadows under the eyes, and its diuretic effect helps remove excess water and eliminate puffiness without much explanation. How to improve the dark circles under the eyes? Lizz Starr, a researcher at the Origins brand, said: "some of the dark circles under the eyes are caused by thin skin, ruptured capillaries and shadows that look like dark circles under the eyes, and caffeine is an effective vasoconstrictor that strengthens the walls of blood vessels and prevents capillaries from rupturing or puffy."

Anti-wrinkle compactness: caffeine used in anti-aging products, fresh fruit extracted from coffee trees, a red coffee berry, has a powerful antioxidant effect and is considered to be more effective than green tea polyphenols, vitamin C and vitamin E. it has a good effect on all skin problems, wrinkles, freckles and elasticity, and maximizes the effect when combined with retinol ingredients.
