Ground coffee is a natural for skin, full of health-affirming elements. The caffeine helps increase blood circulation to help heal and regenerate and leave skin glowing. Chlorogenic acids (CGA) help reduce inflammation, puffiness, and redness. Linoleic acid helps balance the moisture barrier to keep skin soft and smooth. Phenolic compounds and tocopherols are antioxidants that help fight sun damage. Coffee has also been touted to help increase collagen production and firm skin. Its familiar scent is invigorating and, according to some scientists, believed to increase alertness and mental acuity.
