Benefits For Skin
Coffee Grounds/Caffeine
The caffeine present in coffee protects the skin from UV rays induced photodamage. It protects the skin cells or tissues from oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence, which means it keeps the skin cells revitalized and prevents signs of aging. (Source)
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil helps in the fading of fine lines and wrinkles. It reduces dark spots, boosts collagen synthesis, and protects the skin from the adverse effects of UV radiation. (source)
Coconut oil is composed of many healthy fats and vitamin E, which makes it an effective moisturizer. It absorbs readily into the skin and makes it glowing, soft, and smooth.
Almond oil
Almond oil protects the skin from the damage caused by UV radiation due to the presence of vitamin E. It also has vitamin A which stimulates the production of new skin cells and fades fine lines and wrinkles.
Frankincense essential oil
Frankincense essential oil is one of the best essential oils with anti-aging benefits. Its cell rejuvenating properties stimulate cell regeneration and also protect older cells from free radical damage.
The astringent-like properties of the oil help to soothe the skin, tighten skin pores, and gives the skin an even tone. It’s also beneficial in softening fine lines and wrinkles. The drying property of astringent is helpful in giving the skin an oil-free, glowing look.
