Chocolate Beauties

August 5, 2008



What is the most craved for treat? Undoubtedly, it is wicked, deliciously tempting chocolate for everyone, even when on a health and beauty regime. Not many know it, but the good news is that chocolate is being used as part of beauty regimes promoting smooth and toned complexions. Now for some bad, you don’t actually get to eat it, but only slap it on your skin as a raw chocolate face pack.

Chocolate face packs are made from four natural ingredients that are carefully chosen for their nourishing properties i.e. raw chocolate powder which is the highest known source of antioxidants, red clay; organic Turmeric; and organic Amla (Indian Gooseberry) fruit powder. Suitable for all skin types, this exotic face pack gently cleanses and draws out toxins from the skin, delighting the skin and the senses.

With great texture and fabulous smell, it is very easy to wash off and makes the skin feel soft and refreshed after using it. With over 25,200 antioxidants in a single spoonful of raw chocolate powder, it works wonders as antioxidants absorb free radicals that are responsible for causing cell and tissue damage, resulting in premature ageing. If, you are making your own chocolate powder face pack, remember to use raw chocolate contains 367% more antioxidants than its cooked version.

Gentle and is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, sun-dried red clay rich in trace elements and minerals, particularly iron, is great for toning, cleansing, and leaves you with a radiant complexion.

For centuries, the inhabitants of the sub-continent of India have used Turmeric to bring a healthy glow to the skin and make it soft and smooth. It also helps promote an even skin tone and is traditionally used for pigmentation spots and blotches. It also benefits skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Amla with a high content of Vitamin C, is an Ayuvedic herb well-known for its wonderful qualities for the skin and hair. Highly nourishing, it is an excellent cleanser and promotes a fresh, bright complexion.

Just think what a loss it would have been to the world, if Christopher Columbus hadn’t stumbled across the Americas and the Spanish had not discovered the Maya Indians favourite cocoa addiction!
