Beauty Raves: Chocolate Fix

The Easter bunny is headed our way this month so we thought it was the perfect time for a complete chocolate indulgence with a look at all things choco-aholic in the beauty world!!

Now us girls love our chocolate but did you know that chocolate has mega skin caring benefits? Here are more reasons to love and embrace chocolate!

German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special extra-flavonoid-enriched cocoa (the basis of chocolate) every day. After three months, the women's skin was moister, smoother, and less scaly and red when exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers think the flavonoids, which absorb UV light, help protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance
Chocolate in skin care treatments acts as an incredible skin softener so that you look amaaaazing
Chocolate is high in anti-oxidants so fabulous for protecting and fighting nasty wrinkles
Chocolate is a colour that invites feelings of lust - who doesn't think of a big creamy Lindt chocolate bar when eyeing off chocolate-coloured cosmetics???
There has never been a more delicious way to look beautiful
