Coffee benefits the skin in various ways. Besides having a calming effect, the caffeine content also reduces the appearance of cellulite. Applying coffee directly on the skin can further help decrease the appearance of sunspots, redness and fine lines, mentions Healthline. The chlorogenic acid and melanoidins in coffee also have anti-inflammatory effects.
