Caffeine in Cosmetics: Coffee mask by The Body Shop

I wanted to have some cosmetic product with coffee since caffeine is an ingredient with many properties for the skin and body.

Caffeine Properties

Scientific research has shown that caffeine – and some of its metabolites – are able to help cells combat the harmful effects of UV radiation and photoaging. Therefore, it will help delay the appearance of wrinkles, sun spots and loss of elasticity. It is normal, therefore, that caffeine is used in many anti-aging creams.

The properties of caffeine on skin microcirculation also make it one of the most common ingredients in products for the eye area. When applied to the face, it facilitates a small vasoconstriction of the capillaries, which favors circulation at the level of the skin. Thanks to it, the redness of the skin is reduced

This substance that best penetrates through the skin, and reduces the ability of adipose tissue to accumulate fats and accelerate its degradation process, it is used in a large number of creams and products focused on the treatment and elimination of cellulite.

So after attending a beauty session given by the physical stores of the body shop and thanks to the 20% discount, I got this mask with Nicaraguan coffee.

When you apply it, you will see that it exfoliates your skin gently and as time passes, it gives a feeling of warmth that helps reduce signs of tiredness, ideal for those cold days due to the heat effect it leaves during its application.

Ingredients

• Nicaraguan coffee
• Sesame seed oil
• Cocoa butter

How to use

You must have clean skin, when I use a mask I usually exfoliate before, so after exfoliating, I apply the mask evenly avoiding contact with the eyes and mouth.

Let it act for 5 to 10 munutes and then rinse with warm water and a wipe in circular movements to exfoliate the skin.
