The Benefits of a Coffee Scrub: what are the best Coffee Scrubs?

Coffee scrubs are an outstanding way to improve the health and appearance of your skin, not only of the face, but of the body as well. In honour of International Coffee Day on October 1st, in this post, we take you through the benefits of using a coffee scrub, and teach you about the best coffee scrubs on Mankind.

The Benefits of Coffee Scrubs

All coffee scrubs come with at least four main benefits:

They Exfoliate – coffee scrubs contain coarse coffee grounds, which slough away dead skin cells and dirt while unclogging the pores.
They Promote Blood Flow – the caffeine present in coffee beans stimulates blood flow to the skin. Increased blood flow to the skin helps to speed up the skin’s natural process of renewal, allowing for quicker delivery of nutrients to the cells.
They Constrict Blood Vessels – as a vasoconstrictor, caffeine causes the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin to narrow. In some, this has little effect for the skin, but many claim that coffee scrubs help to reduce redness, irritation, and puffiness of the skin.
They’re Rich in Antioxidants – one of the primary causes of signs of ageing in the skin is oxidisation of DNA in the cells. Antioxidants reduce the rate at which this process occurs. This means that regularly using a Coffee Scrub can slow the ageing process of your skin. This is extremely useful especially for the body, which tends to be overlooked in our skincare routines.

As well as this, coffee scrubs are always formulated with additional ingredients. The most common among which are natural sugars, rich with Glycolic Acid with fantastic chemical exfoliating benefits, as well as coconut oil, a deeply moisturising natural emollient.
