Caffeine on your skin

Many of us think that anti-wrinkle creams are the ultimate way to treat those unsightly lines, but these days, other options have pop up and one of them actually involve what you drink every single  day

It's in your drink!

"What does drinking has to do with wrinkles?" many would ask. Mainly our health and skin conditions are based on our daily food consumption but relating it to drinks is not particularly common. But actually it does. Do you start your morning with a cup of hot, steamy coffee? Maybe some tea in the afternoon to wash down your lunch or perhaps a can of soda to spice up your taste buds for dinner? There you go, your days is filled with caffeine. Recent studies have shown that caffeine can actually affect your wrinkle treatment plan. Negative press regarding caffeine with strong reasons are always heard off. Tons of studies does show taht caffeine indeed can have a bad effect on lots of body systems. Average individuals drink almost six caffeine laced beverages every single day, and it is not necessarily your morning coffee. Few individuals will admit to how much caffeine they consume in a given day, but that may be because they're not considering every possible aspect. Sure, coffee is infamous for its caffeine content but by drinking beverages like green tea, hot cocoa, you're adding caffeine into your body too. Moreover, energy drink, for example, Red Bull contains far more caffeine that your skin can handle.

The relationship between caffeine and wrinkles

The problem isn't the caffeine itself. Caffeine doesn't actually cause wrinkles and sagging skin, but your body's reaction to it is the main culprit. The caffeine you consume actually sucks the water out of your body. When skin is deprived of moisture, it will essentially destruct your wrinkle treatment plan. When skin is dehydrated, the dry skin can desquamates and fall off by itself. That's why it sags as you age.

Giving up?

No, you don;t have to give up your caffeine drinks permanently, but most scientists would recommend that you limit your intake to three cups of coffee daily. Note that most energy drinks on the shelves of local supermarkets are actually equivalent to three cups of coffee in and of themselves, so make sure you look precisely at the label before getting your favourite drink.
