According to Nora Tobin, performance enhancement and executive coach, nutrition specialist, and CEO of Nora’s Naturals coffee, if you’re keeping your coffee in the cabinet and drinking it when you need your pick-me-up in the morning, you are doing coffee wrong!
Tobin assures that coffee can increase your natural beauty and has three essential benefits. “Quality coffee can play a role in cellular repair, collagen production, and lowering inflammation,” the expert says. “The B3 (niacin) vitamin and chlorogenic acid present in coffee can help reduce hyperpigmentation and can help decrease the appearance of sunspots, redness, and fine lines.”

The polyphenols in coffee assist in cellular turnover and immune protection.”
According to Nora Tobin, there are three lesser-known ways coffee can increase your beauty.
Acne Treatment
- Did you know that antioxidants, stimulants, and chlorogenic acids found in coffee have been linked to improving skin quality? Making a facial scrub with coffee can help unclog pores that have become irritated, leading to inflammation.
Decrease Dark Circles
- Nobody wants to have dark circles under their eyes; coffee can potentially help. What you’ll need to do is mix one tablespoon of coffee powder with a teaspoon of honey. You’ll then add a few drops of vitamin E oil into the mix. Then apply this mixture under your eyes carefully and rinse after 15 minutes.
Cellulite Reduction
- Did you know that the caffeine within coffee has properties that can dilate the blood vessels, increasing blood flow and making skin return to a more youthful state? By applying a coffee scrub to the skin, it can result in glowing and radiant skin! Just like how the smell of coffee can wake up your mind in the morning, a scrub can do the same for your body.
