Tannin and skin care

I wanted to check whether it would be in acorn or acorn coffee something useful in skincare. Yes, the ingredient that is useful is tannin. Acorns contain tannin and tannin should benefit our skin. Read on to learn how.

The properties of tannin in skincare are:

• astringent: have a tight and protective effect on the skin, reducing the appearance of pores,
• soothing: reduce redness and inflammation,
• photoprotection: tannin has significant anti-inflammatory effects on the skin response caused by UV rays. radiation (this is mainly related to sunburn), and 
• anti-fungal.

In what way would it be best to use tannin from Acorn Coffee?

Peeling? No. What about a mask or tonic?

The most important characteristic that makes it advisable to use Acorn Coffee is astringent properties - on the skin has a reduced effect, it reduces the appearance of pores. This is useful for those who have to face T-zone or oily skin. 

Considering the fact that Acorn Coffee is very finely ground and when it comes into contact with water, become the porridge, unfortunately, it cannot be used for face or body peeling.

But you can:

prepare a mask. Add a little warm water to a teaspoon of Acorn Coffee until it turns into a thick mixture. mask. Apply this mask to a cleansed face, preferably applied with your fingers by tapping on your face or with a cosmetic spatula, or using the back of a teaspoon. Leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then wash the face with warm water.

Or

prepare a tonic. This way I prefer. Cook Acorn Coffee (one small cup is enough), separate the liquid from the sediment apply the liquid to a face or other affected site (eg, scalp), and allow it to soak. Keep the tonic in the refrigerator.

Have a nice day 😉.
