Benefits of coffee for beauty

It looks like today's metropolitan lives are fuelled by coffee. Sure, we love that coffee perks us up to last through the day, and we've practically embraced those quaint joints that mark every street corner.

However, there are reasons beyond the obvious that show how coffee permeates through our lives. While it is scientifically proven that this 'wonder drink', when consumed in moderation, promotes good health and contains properties that help you keep illness at bay, coffee lovers now have a reason to rejoice as we decipher its numerous benefits for the skin!

Delving deeper into the benefits of coffee, it has also been noted that coffee is great for the skin. While drinking a cup gets you that internal coffee boost, rubbing your skin with a soap or cream that contains coffee also promises a whole set of benefits that make coffee a favourite skin 'drink.

Here are some reasons your skin will thank you for an external coffee boost:

• It's a rich source of antioxidants: The environment is full of free radicals (pollution particles, etc.) that wreak havoc on the skin. However, loading up skin with the antioxidants in coffee protects it and bolsters its natural defences. In fact, a study showed that coffee bean extracts can be responsible for skin cell energy preservation due to its free-radical properties."
• It protects against harsh sun rays: UVB is harmful and may even lead to more complicated and life-threatening skin diseases. Protecting your skin with caffeine may protect it against UV carcinogens. According to another study, caffeine actually inhibits the DNA damage response, thus protecting skin against the adverse effects of UVB. The inhibition of DNA damage response may offer a therapeutic option for non-melanoma skin cancer.
• It makes skin smooth and bright: Because of its qualities that signal tissue repair, coffee plays a crucial role in regulating cell re-growth, leading to retained hydration (increased collagen) and increased skin elasticity.
• It enhances circulation: When coffee promotes blood circulation, it leads to healthy and energised skin, effectively reducing the swelling of tissues and de-puffing areas of the skin.
• Protect your hair : The protective antioxidant benefits of coffee also extend to your hair—masks containing java will prevent breakage and enhance shine. Not to mention, leave your mane smelling amazing.

Adverbs

As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what conditions something happens or happened. adverbs frequently end in -ly, however, many words and phrases not ending in -ly serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. the words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly. for instance, are adjectives:

• that lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.

if a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb (modifying the verb of a sentence), it is called an adverb clause:

• when this class is over, we're going to the movies.

when a group of words not containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb, it is called an adverbial phrase. prepositional phrases frequently have adverbial functions (telling place and time, modifying the verb) :

• he want to the movies
• she works on holidays
• they lived in Canada during the war
