Add an extra shot of coffee to your morning routine

Coffee can be a powerful skincare ingredient. Rich in caffeine and anti-inflammatory properties, it can reinvigorate the complexion and kickstart the skin's natural healing process—without keeping you up all night. Coffee derivatives, such as coffee berry extract or coffee seed oil, are packed with flavonoids, vitamins and antioxidants to protect the skin from free radicals and stimulate collagen production. Dried, roasted and ground, coffee releases a strong, pleasing aroma that can clear the mind and improve the mood.
