Sugar, Coffee and Milk | Skincare | Beauty Tips

Sugar

The sweetest results in skincare are derived from sugar. When used in cosmetics, sugar extracts refine the texture of your skin and improve its overall appearance. The most widely used extracts are glycols, which are obtained thorough a fermentation process. They come in different strengths, used according to the condition of your skin and the extent of refining needed. The more intensive formulations are used by dermatologists, while milder variants are used in over-the-counter preparations. Glycols speed up your skin’s natural exfoliation process, dissolving dead outer layers that make your complexion dull and dehydrated, and leave a clearer, brighter surface. Scarred or uneven skin becomes more refined.

Coffee

Cindy Crawford is rumoured to rub her thighs with freshly-ground coffee beans for the effect of caffeine on cellulite. She may not be far off the mark, but before rushing to the coffee grinder, opt for less messy, more effective ways to apply it to those fat deposits. Unfortunately, drinking coffee won’t do the trick, so you’ll have to try anti-cellulite treatments that use the stimulant properties of caffeine to accelerate the burning of stored fats. Caffeine also assists your body’s drainage and elimination functions, improves blood circulation and increases cellular activity.

A caffeine-based treatment stimulates micro circulation, and therefore lymph drainage, and is ideal for puffy faces with fat deposits.

Milk

One of the earliest beauty secrets is milk – Cleopatra was obviously on to something good when she bathed in milk. The enduring popularity of milk is undeniably linked to its rich composition (it’s slightly fatty and has a high amino-acid contest), it’s compatibility with human skin (milk extracts are easily absorbed) and the fact that it leaves your skin supple, silky-smooth and hydrated.

Goat’s milk – like any other milk - contains protein-rich lactic acid, which keeps your skin’s pH balance correct, providing a protective layer that helps your skin to retain moisture.

Another milk derivative is whey protein, which has anti-ageing benefits that leave your skin plumped up, firm and toned.

Colostrum, the liquid that’s produced just before milk during lactation, is one of the most nourishing natural substances, and it’s one of the hottest buzzwords in beauty. A cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, it contains vital growth promoters that help regeneration and repair of skin, collagen, bone and muscle.
