No coffee doesn't dry out your skin. Caffein is good for the skin and is a skin care ingredient in many skin care products. Left over coffee is also a very good skin scrub. But cold weather is horrible on skin. That is definitely what is drying out your lips. Get a very fat and rich lip balm - that will do the trick. back to top Ccup Senior Member Joined: 13 Feb 2009 Posts: 108 Location: australia Expertise: I live coffee Espresso: rancilio silvia Grinder: rancilio rocky Drip: na Roaster: Behmor 1600 Posted Sun Jun 10, 2012, 1:15am Subject: Re: Does coffee cause your lips to dry?   Thank you for telling me that, I thought it might as it makes one thristy I have been using, Olive Oil, Tea tree oil, Cocunut Oil and some Alovera all of which relieved but I htink it was time to heal. My lips are near ok now :) thank you   "A good cup of coffee starts with a seedling."

I don't know what is available downunde but something with a lot of mineral oil and lanolin. That's pretty standard and should be quite cheap. Good luck - take good care of your skin in that weather, that is horrible for skin! back to top view previous topic | view next topic | view all topics Discussions > Espresso > Q and A > Does coffee...   updated topics   new posts   new unanswered     search   faq   sign up   Not Logged in: log in Discussions Quick Jump: Select Espresso Discussions --Espresso Machines --Lever Espresso Machines --Grinders - Espresso --Espresso Mods and Restorations --Espresso Blends --Questions and Answers --Latte Art and Etching --Barista Jams Around the World --General Discussion Coffee Discussions --Machines and Brewing Methods --Home Roasting Talk --Questions and Answers --General Discussion Columns, How-Tos, and Reviews --Holiday Gift List Feedback --CoffeeGeek Columnist Feedback --Detailed Review Feedback --Products First Look Feedback --Quickshot Review Feedback --Guide Article Feedback --How-To Article Feedback --CoffeeGeek Podcast Feedback Members Forum --Bug Reports and Suggestions --Buy, Sell and Trade --Retail Coffee Jobs Offered / Wanted Ads --Coffee Recipes --Cafe and Bean Reviews --CoffeeGeek Site Info and News --General Off Topics World Regional --United States West --United States Central --United States East --Western Canada --Eastern Canada --United Kingdom --Western Europe --Eastern Europe, Nordic Countries, and Russia --Central and South America --Australia, New Zealand and Asia Symbols: = New Posts since your last visit      = No New Posts since last visit     = Newest post Forum Rules: No profanity, illegal acts or personal attacks will be tolerated in these discussion boards.
