Coffee
In moderation, consumption of coffeeit is not harmful to health and is related to certain benefits such as weight loss. However, when we add sugars and other sweeteners to coffee, they can become harmful to the skin.

For a healthy alternative, prefer to consume coconut water, teas or juices. Coconut water is a great option because it is full of vitamins, including vitamin C, which is great for the skin.
