Benefits of Cacao

  • It is full of vitamins and antioxidants which are important for cell repair and cell damage prevention.
  • Cacao is hydrating and contains minerals that promote cell growth.
  • Cacao contains caffeine, a de-puffing ingredient often added to skincare products.

 

Anti-Aging Chocolate Mask

What you need:

  • 50 grams of chocolate (organic and with 70-90% cocoa content)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 egg yolk

 

Directions:

  1. Take the chocolate and warm it up on the water bath till it becomes liquid.
  2. Then mix the liquid chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 egg’s yolk (you can skip the yolk if you don’t like the smell of it).
  3. Mix it all up very well and spread the mask all over your face and neck. Make sure that the temperature of your chocolate mask is not too warm.
  4. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.

 

Antioxidant Cocoa Mask

What you need:

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (choose a raw and organic cacao powder)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt

 

Directions:

  1. Put the cacao powder into a bowl and mix it with yogurt.
  2. Add the honey and blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  3. Apply the paste evenly to your face. Relay for 10-20 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.

 

Well, it’s all for your skin, but we won’t blame you if one or two tablespoons end up in your mouth rather than on your face. Enjoy!
