Undoubtedly, chocolates can be deemed as sinful indulgences that most of us crave. Not only can it be an impeccable antidote for a bad mood or a broken heart, but also be the perfect gift to pamper yourself or a loved one with. But did you know that these sweet indulgences can literally be a treat for your skin as well?
Sounds startling, doesn’t it? Well, for starters, the active component of chocolate i.e., raw cacao is enriched in catechins, flavanols, polyphenols, and essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper, phosphorus, iron, calcium, selenium, and manganese, making it a powerful antioxidant compound. Infused with these active phytochemical components, chocolate not only protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays but also repairs and rejuvenates already damaged skin. Additionally, the presence of vitamin E arrests the various signs of ageing, reverses photodamage, treats hyperpigmentation and prevents acne and other skin woes.
So, without worrying about the extra calories, you can now satiate yourself with the goodness of chocolate by infusing it in your daily beauty essentials. And what better way to employ it, rather than a facial using natural easily available kitchen ingredients that not only scourge away the dead skin cells and clean clogged facial pores but also bestow you with spot-less, rejuvenated skin?

A monthly or fortnightly facial using chocolate not only rids the skin of toxins and impurities but also arrests ageing signs and helps the skin repair and heal itself, while delivering a natural radiant glow. Similar to any other facial, a Chocolate Facial chiefly comprises 3 major steps, Cleansing, Exfoliation And Application Of a Mask. And just like the salon ones, you can very well take facial steam to open the facial pores in between Steps 1 and 2.
