Chocolate: A Different Delicious and Decadent Direction

Chocolate...this sinfully delicious, natural pleaser takes on new purpose when applied to the skin or enjoyed in a dark or more natural form.  Coco maddness equals skin care gladness and it is here to stay.  What was once designated as a culinary ritual has transitioned into sensational body treatments.  Why is chocolate a natural selection for internal and external body renewal?

RICH In Antioxidants.
The thick layer of sweetness we crave is high in antioxidants.  What does that mean for you?  This means your body will have added protection from free radicals that attach to your skin or breathe in.  Added protection in rich antioxidants can help to keep wrinkles and other signs of aging at bay.  Applied topically or taken internally, chocolate therapy can take global care to a new place.

It Makes Your Skin SOFT?  
Well, it does contain a good amount of coco butter.  As above, so below. 

What else?  
Enjoying foods rich in flavanoids helps to produce collagen, moisturizes and helps with the exfoliation process. 


Spa Treatments? 
What can be better than enjoying a truffle, thick hot chocolate or a slice of seven-layer cake?   How about getting painted with chocolate as part of a mani-pedi treatment or a full body treatment.  Over the last five years, chocolate used in spa treatments has become mainstream.  Some are partnered with amazing essential oils for the ultimate therapy.

The next time you think of chocolate, of course we want you to think about your favorite bit of delight.  We would even like for you to fantasize about your next truffle experience.  Over-all, we would like for you to think about the many different ways chocolate can be enjoyed!

Have a sweet week!
