New Delhi: If you think chocolate is just a mood-lifter, think again. More than a sweet indulgence, chocolate has been an amazing skincare ingredient for centuries. So, many modern-day beauty experts often suggest chocolate-based treatments to fight dullness, nourish the skin, and restore its natural glow. It even saves us from spending extra money on spa sessions. Chocolate face masks can moisturise, exfoliate, and provide antioxidant benefits to help improve your skin’s radiance and overall health.
The benefits of chocolate masks come from cocoa, which contains antioxidants like catechins, polyphenols, and flavanols. It fights signs of ageing, protects from sun damage, soothes inflammation, hydrates the skin, improves blood circulation and brightens the skin tone. Masks can be purchased or prepared at home using unsweetened cocoa powder and other natural ingredients.
