My co-worker, a real coffee junkie, told me that caffeine is a powerful antioxidant and can be good for my skin. Is that true? —Joshua B., Miami, FL
Your co-worker’s right. Caffeine is full of polyphenols, antioxidants that can improve skin health. “Caffeine quickly constricts blood vessels, and can be effective in de-puffing the skin,” says dermatologist Jeffrey Benabio, M.D. “It also has anti-inflammatory properties, and can help men who suffer from redness and flushing.”
