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'. It exfoliates and brightens your skin along with kick-starting your day. Neetu Prasher, Head of Training at Avon India, lists the reasons why coffee is good for skin in winter. 

1. A coffee brew not only gets you kicking in the morning but is also one of the healthiest natural ingredients to keep your skin glowing whether it is in the form of beans, liquid or grounded coffee.
2. Exfoliating and brightening properties of coffee make it a popular ingredient in many beauty and wellness products for both men and women. Caffeine extracts help rejuvenate skin in addition to repairing UV Damage.
3. The antioxidants in coffee help fight against UV damage and are good for overall health of your skin, giving it a rich glow.
