Chocolate Face Masks

March 21st, 2023 Posted In: Beauty, Recipes

Why is chocolate so good for your skin?  

Chocolate face masks can be effective if you have an oily skin.  Cocoa and honey are strong antioxidants, reducing free radicals that attack and damage the skin.  They also lift off bacteria that can cause acne. Raw cacao is rich in minerals and can help protect skin from harmful UV-rays. 

How can chocolate help your skin? 

We’ve created a selection of three different chocolate mask recipes for you below – which can help with different skin treatments, including: 

  • Revitalising your skin and giving it a natural glow 
  • Removing blackheads and helping with blocked pores 
  • Leaving you with soft, velvety skin
