Chocolate Face Mask

A Mask which leaves you looking and feeling on top of the world !

Guilt Free Chocolate

chocolate face mask

What better way to deep cleanse your skin while relaxing than a chocolate face mask.

Chocolate has had bad press in the past with claims that eating it would cause acne : we now know this is not true. But why is chocolate good for your skin? Chocolate protects the skin by breaking down free radicals and has anti-ageing, anti-oxidant properties. It’s packed full of magnesium which is a stimulant for progesterone, a hormone which drops each month making premenstrual women anxious, grumpy and causing many breakouts in the skin. Magnesium is ideal for controlling hormone breakouts.

Chocolate is also a great mood buster which is why we all like to eat it. Just a mere hint of the smell of chocolate can release good feel endorphins into your system. What more could you want, than a deep cleansing mask which leaves you looking and feeling on top of the world!


Other ingredients in our Chocolate Face Mask are:

Coconut milk - a wonderful gentle cleaner and softener which is enriched with vitamin E

Honey - has healing properties, and attracts and retains water.

Kaolin Face Mask - will draw out impurities and toxins, cleaning the skin of dirt and pollution.

Before Your Mask

Give your skin a steam facial to open and clean out the pores. Exfoliate your skin, which will remove dead skin cells and ensure a really deep cleanse.

Chocolate Face Mask

The ingredients here are for normal /combination/dry skin. Alternately if you have oily skin, you can use Fullers Earth instead of Kaolin.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons of kaolin
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder
  • A little water or if desired a little coconut milk
  • Instructions

    Warning - the mixture should be fairly thick, verging on a paste. The water should be added drop by drop otherwise the mixture will become too runny to manage. If this happens add more kaolin.

    Using a fairly small bowl, measure out the kaolin and cocoa powder and mix together. Add a teaspoon of honey and mix into the powder. Add a small amount of water or coconut milk until you have a paste mixture.

    Leave to stand in the bowl for at least 30 minutes before gently spreading over entire face, neck and shoulder area. You only need to apply a thin layer of mask. Leave the mask on for 15 - 30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. You can leave this mixture to stand overnight if you wish, it does not need to be used immediately although it should be used within 24 hours because the air will dry it out


Why would you want to put strawberries and cream on your face when they are so nice to eat?

Orange Face Mask - All citrus fruits are rich in alpha hyroxy. Alpha hyroxy is a natural exfoliate which works by unblocking the pores and easing away dead skin cells on the epidermis.


Cellulite Buster - Want to look good on the beach?

Then try a chocolate mask : it’s a great cellulite buster. Remember to first give your legs a body brush or sugar exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.
