What Coffee Really Does To Your Skin...

Whether your an early riser, a night owl or you need a quick energy hit - we all grab a coffee at some point to aid us though our busy lifestyles.

But what does coffee really do to our skin....

The first point is dehydration. You may be great at drinking 3 Litres of water every day but having a few coffees in the office seriously counteracts your hard work! Dehydration leads to dry, dull and grey looking skin.

Our skin can lose its plump youthful glow and can show signs of premature ageing - this is due to the stripping of hydration our skin naturally has.

Secondly, coffee contains 'Tannin' a chemical which is used to make leather shiney!! This chemical blocks our pores in which we try so hard to keep clear and also block goodness from healthy foods we eat. So next time you order a chicken salad, maybe opt out of the coffee!

And lastly, acne. Coffee can be the cause of your breakouts. With the toxins sent into your liver, it has to work over time to purify our blood from the chemicals, and this results in tainted skin cells.

Maybe stick to a Green Tea!
