Limitations & Risks
Not a Deep Treatment: Caffeine isn’t absorbed enough to provide anti-aging benefits. Vaseline locks in moisture but doesn’t repair skin.
Too Harsh for the Face: Coffee grounds can create micro-tears in delicate facial skin. Dermatologists suggest gentler options like AHAs, BHAs, or jojoba beads.
Possible Pore Concerns: Vaseline is generally safe, but combined with oils or on acne-prone skin, it could trap debris.
Messy & Staining: Coffee can stain surfaces, and Vaseline is greasy and difficult to rinse off.
