Indian research suggests coffee may support skin protection from UV rays via antioxidants. Experts explain how it works and what to eat or apply.

When the sun is high and your skin feels the burn, you probably reach for sunscreen—not a cup of coffee. But recent studies have raised an intriguing question: could something in your daily brew actually help shield your skin from sun damage? A lab in India now claims experimental results that suggest coffee offers a layer of protection, at least in mice. The idea might sound far-fetched, but there’s science behind the claim that’s worth exploring.
