As the holiday chaos calms and normal life reemerges, we often feel worn out and exhausted. While caffeine can do wonders for our energy levels when consumed, the caffeine found in coffee can also help improve your skin due to its numerous health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, coffee helps combat dull skin all while exfoliating and firming. When applied under the eyes, it can eliminate puffiness and dark circles, helping to brighten your appearance. It also helps to stimulate blood circulation and reduce swelling thanks to its anti-inflammatory nature. There are so many benefits when you include coffee in your skin-care routine.

Here in Southern California, moving from one season to the next happens subtly and often later in the year than other locations. In October and sometimes even November, 80- or 90-degree days aren’t unusual. When the weather does start to cool down and temperatures drop in the evenings, it’s a refreshing breath of cold air. To help encourage this transition in my home, I like to fill the rooms with cozy diffuser blends.
