Coffee is among the key ingredients found in various skincare products due to its antioxidant and anti-ageing properties, experts suggest. Although coffee can be beneficial in various ways, applying it directly on the face can cause skin irritation, cautioned Dr Shareefa Chause, dermatologist and cosmetologist, Shareefa’s Skin Care Clinic.

She also warned against applying coffee over your face in excessive quantities.

Similarly, people with sensitive skin should avoid using flax seed on their face, as it can trigger various allergies and result in rashes, burning sensations, and itching, added Dr Chause.

The coarse nature of the mixture itself may not go down well with your face, Dr Chause mentioned.

Things to keep in mind

It is important to be cautious when applying anything on your face, as your facial skin is more sensitive and fragile, stressed Dr Chause. “Always consult your doctor before trying new hacks or home remedies on your face for medical guidance to avoid any allergic reaction,” added Dr Chause.
