Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Caffeine

Caffeine actually has great benefits for your skin! No, I'm not suggesting you bathe in your morning cup of coffee. In small, topical amounts, caffeine can do a lot of great things for your skin.
Fights Free Radicals: Free radicals are responsible for causing premature skin ageing. This results in the appearance of wrinkles, sun spots and loss of elasticity. The antioxidants contained in caffeine can attack these free radicals and eliminate them. This will improve the overall look of your skin.
Soothes Inflammation:  Caffeine possesses anti-inflammatory properties that make it effective in reducing inflammation and redness in your skin. It can reduce and prevent inflammation and redness and give you beautiful, even skin tone.
Treatment of Under Eye Dark Circles: Under eye dark circles can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, allergies, lack of sleep or genetics. Caffeine cannot cure hereditary dark circles. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial in reducing puffiness and inflammation associated with dark circles. Caffeine also reduces the accumulation of blood under your eyes which contributes to dark shadows.
Reduces Cellulite: Caffeine present in skin care products can dehydrate fatty cells. This results in the water disappearing from the surface of your skin. This minimizes the appearance of cellulite, thus providing you with a smoother skin.
Treatment of Rosacea: Caffeine constricts blood vessels to reduce redness. This makes it an ideal treatment for facial flushing and rosacea. When applied topically, caffeine works as a diuretic, aids in circulation and is also a powerful antioxidant. Thus, it has the ability to calm irritated and reddened skin caused by sun damage and rosacea.
Tightens Skin:  Another added benefit of caffeine is that its topical use can tighten fine lines and smooth puffy skin. Caffeine used in creams is absorbed by your skin to firm and tighten its appearance. It also inhibits the growth of skin cancer cells.
