The principle of action and effectiveness of coffee peeling

This type of exfoliation has a complex effect on the skin due to the presence of various biologically active substances in the aromatic grains. Coffee peeling works as follows:

1. Small particles of coffee cleanse the skin of impurities, remove sebaceous plugs, and have a massage effect, stimulating blood microcirculation in peripheral vessels.
2. Caffeine has a tonic and stimulating effect on the dermis. As a result, cellular metabolism is enhanced, swelling and cellulite are eliminated.
3. Omega-6 or linolenic acid fights skin aging, enhances barrier properties, and relieves inflammation.
4. Antioxidant vitamins protect epidermal cells from the negative effects of free radicals, ultraviolet radiation, and other adverse environmental factors, prolonging its youth.
5. Nicotinic acid cleanses the skin of toxins, dilates blood vessels, and enhances carbohydrate metabolism.
6. Coffee oil contains palmitic, caprionic, and stearic acids, which activate the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These substances are responsible for youth and elasticity of the skin.
7. Essential oils containing phenol products and terpenes have antibacterial effects.

Did you know that coffee helps fight pellagra? In Latin American countries, where this aromatic drink is actively consumed, the disease is recorded extremely rarely.

Coffee exfoliation is recommended for the following purposes:

• age-related skin changes: dull complexion, loss of elasticity, wrinkles;
