We often forget that chocolate has many beneficial properties for our skin. However, we never forget to think about the size of our hips when we consume it!
Today, if you don’t want to gobble it up, I suggest you make the most of the virtues of cocoa by pampering your body with a number of chocolate treatments…
A little information…
It is in the form of a cocoa paste that chocolate is most used in cosmetics (which is how it turns out to be the most nourishing for our skin).
Cocoa is rich in vegetable proteins, which makes it a perfect substance to deeply nourish the cells of the epidermis while improving its micro-circulation. (Just that!)
Cocoa also contains antioxidants that protect the skin against wrinkles.
Finally, chocolate is a source of magnesium, iron, vitamins B, A and E.
In short, chocolate is a real beauty product!
Chocolate care :
Chocolate mask
The English brand Lush makes original cosmetics from fresh natural products (the products are not tested on animals).
Lush’ s Cupcake Chocolate Mask smells divine and deeply cleanses the skin. Its fragrance is so pleasant that you don’t want to take the mask off!
As it is a mask made from fresh products, it can only be kept in the refrigerator for 3 weeks after opening and that is a pity.
Price : 10,45€ (€)
For moisturized and chocolatey lips, Lush also offers a balm made with real chocolate. With this perfumed balm on our lips, we don’t even want to crave a square of chocolate!
Price : 6.95€ (€)
Chocolate scrub
Cocoa Therapy is a complete line developed around the benefits of cocoa. Its exfoliating cleanser is made of walnut shells, cocoa, apricot seeds and polishing cocoa butter. This product cleans the skin thoroughly, makes it soft and leaves a pleasant chocolate scent on it. It is recommended for mixed and oily skin.
Price: €30
Body oil
Obtained from real organic cocoa, Clairjoie oil is an essential product for chocolate addicts.
This oil perfumes the skin and leaves it supple and without greasy feeling. We can only be disappointed by the packaging, which does not evoke chocolate at all.
Price: €17
Body balm
Perfect for dry skin, The Body Shop ‘s cocoa body balm contains shea butter, organic honey, beeswax and sesame oil! This balm is a pure cocktail of moisturizing and nourishing active ingredients. Ideal to have a baby skin all year long!
Price : 22€ for the first time
Chocolate Make-up selection !
Delightful chocolate (and caramel) tones for a look that speaks volumes…
This is what Estée Lauder offers us with its palette of gourmand eyeshadows:
Chocolate Decadence
Price : 43 € for the first time
Yves Saint Laurent offers us waterproof shadows that, as soon as they are applied, form a waterproof film that fixes the color for a long time. The shadows come in four iridescent and metallic shades. For a chocolate look, I recommend the copper brown shade.
Price : 27,50 €.
Kiss Kiss Baby by Guerlain is a lipstick, which deeply moisturizes the lips and deposits a vibrant and long-lasting color on our mouth. Perfect for a chewy smile! For chocolatey lips, choose the Honey Nude shade.
Price : 28€ for the first time
