Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

I wanted to do this quick video on the interesting benefits of applying caffeine to your skin.

Now, the question is, can't you just drink coffee and get enough caffeine to help your skin?

Well, no, that doesn't really work. There's certain topical benefits of caffeine that you can't get by drinking caffeine.

Now, of course, you can always overdo it.

So I'm not talking about putting a tremendous amount of your skin, but just enough to create some interesting effects.

Now, as far as the type of caffeine you can use coffee grounds, you can use caffeine creams, or you can use green tea, or a combination of green tea and coffee.

Which I do recommend because there's so many different phytonutrients in coffee and green tea, including the compound EG-CG, which has incredible benefits.

You probably have seen many different facial creams with green tea extract and even caffeine.

But caffeine has some interesting properties to the skin.

It can act as a potent antioxidant. It can actually reduce inflammation.

Now, using topical caffeine on the skin doesn't always work on every single condition.

Like, for example, it may reduce some redness with acne, but it doesn't get rid of acne.

There's other solutions for that.

It can maybe help with hair loss that tiny bit, but not significantly.

But what it can do is give you some temporary help on the three conditions I want to talk about.

As you work to correct the underlying cause, and I always recommend that.

Number one, you can potentially reduce salite, okay, the appearance of salite, which occurs when you have changes in your fat cells, as well as a connective tissue, with salite, you have a loss of collagen and loss of muscle, you have atrophy, and it creates like kind of an orange peel effect.

But caffeine directly on the skin increases lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, it increases micro vascular circulation.

So it gets more blood flow, more lymph flow, because it has a vasoconstrictive property.
