| 1. Soothes skin: Thanks to the flavonoids in coffee, you can soothe irritated skin. Flavonoids are antioxidants for the skin because they prevent sunburn and skin aging. In addition, coffee works to treat redness if you sit too long in the sun. If your skin is irritated, try making a mask out of coffee beans and apply it to the affected area for a few minutes. Then you wash it off for softer skin. Photo: Nutroo. |

Medical News Today researchers concluded that participants with a high consumption of coffee polyphenols had fewer UV-induced age spots on their faces.
