Beauties and fashionistas have long realized that chocolate is good for the skin. The leader in the content of vitamins and microelements that easily penetrate the skin is dark dark chocolate. With it you can significantly transform your skin even at home.
Today's site website will share wonderful recipes for chocolate masks.
The magic of chocolate masks for skin
Dark chocolate consists of grated cocoa beans, cocoa butter and contains more than 300 different valuable substances that are beneficial to our body, including the skin:
- Amino acids;
- Minerals (Magnesium, iron, calcium);
- Tannin;
- Specific tonic substances, for example dopamine, serotonin;
- Organic acids;
- Caffeine;
- Lecithin;
It is known that skin cells and nerve cells have a strong relationship. Therefore, lecithin, which is beneficial for the nervous system and is part of chocolate, is also beneficial for the skin. This substance is heavily consumed by the body in moments of emotional overload. Chocolate masks can compensate for its deficiency.
The toning and skin-healthy composition makes it possible to successfully use chocolate in cosmetology. Cocoa butter restores radiance and velvety smoothness to the skin. In addition, chocolate has a healing effect on small wounds and suppresses inflammatory processes in the skin.

If you choose chocolate for beauty and health, then you need to take dark dark chocolate. It contains a lot of grated cocoa and a minimal amount of sugar. In order not to make a mistake in your choice, it is worth reading the composition; bars that contain anything else instead of cocoa butter are not chocolate. Replacing cocoa butter with other confectionery oils makes the product cheaper. But, like a real product, it will not melt either in the mouth or in a water bath. Even if you have checked the expiration date of the product, sometimes you can come across chocolate with a white coating. He speaks of a violation of the temperature regime for storing the product.
