Chocolate Treat for Your Skin!

This week, I tried out a new chocolate product – toffee flavoured popcorn covered in chocolate! Really yummy!  I feel the need to confess to my trusting readers that I over indulged in this product during the week. It tasted too good to be good for me! In saying that though, it’s not always true that anything that’s good for you never really tastes good. There are some really amazing tasting foods that are just as good for you on the insides.

The same goes for food for your skin. There are some delicious tasting foods that do wonders for your skin. For instance, milk, honey, chocolate (yes, chocolate!) sugar, yoghurt, eggs and fruits & veggies like lemons, avocados and tomatoes to name a few.

This weekend, let’s make a really simple skin brightening face mask packed full with antioxidants and skin rejuvenating properties. You’ll only need two simple ingredients, Honey and Cocoa powder. A yummy tasting indulging face mask.

Cocoa is filled with natural antioxidants that help in cell repair and cell damage prevention. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and prevent them from damaging the skin cells.

Honey is a natural antibacterial and antiseptic. It‘s antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals in the body, they are also part of the nutrient supply for growth of new tissue.  It also protects the skin from the sun and helps the skin stay young.

Simply add a teaspoon full of Cocoa powder to 2 teaspoons of Honey. Mix carefully into a paste. Apply onto clean wet skin. Leave on for 15-20minutes and then gently wash off with warm water.

This mask never fails when you need a quick fix for your skin with intense conditioning.

Have fun with this and have a yummy weekend!
