Caffeine is good for your skin

If, this summer at the beach or poolside, you find yourself wondering why that guy just poured his Starbucks Americano all over himself, or why that woman is hooked up to an IV drip of Diet Coke, look at their cancer-free skin and remember that caffeine is good for the skin in two ways. First, it prevents UV-damaged cells from multiplying and becoming cancerous. Second, it acts as a sunscreen.

This is not to detract from the well-established role that regular sunscreen plays in preventing excess sun damage to our skin.
