Yum is the only word for this facial, the scent, the richness.... incredible.....
Eating dark chocolate is well known to be healthy. And if it contains 70% cocoa it is touted as a "superfood". But did you know cocoa is healthy for the skin also? It is full of antioxidants that promote healthy cellular tissue thru out our bodies. Pure cocoa powder has twice the amount of flavonols (antioxidants) as dark chocolate by the way. By applying cocoa directly to the skin we can improve it. Here's why: Our cells produce free radicals as they metabolize and our body produces natural antioxidants to neutralize these free radicals. Things that stress our skin like sun damage, smoking, unhealthy living, etc cause an excess of free radicals that can cause damage. Eating antioxidant rich foods like chocolate, drinking green tea (an explosive trend right now) and even applying cocoa directly to the skin surface is all beneficial.
Personally, I don't get stressed out about all the trendy talk of free radical damage etc, I just love to make and use natural body products. We've got to keep things in balance and keeping a proper perspective on all the hype is essential. Don't get stressed out about all the things that are suppose to cause us stress! Try my luscious facial and enjoy God's provision! It's gonna be a great day!
