Chocolate Facial
A Decadent
Natural Skin Care Recipe
Biki shares her infamous
chocolate mask recipe that is as
decadently soothing as it is effective in deeply moisturizing the
skin. (Great for sensitive and dry skin types.)
Cocoa is rich in natural
moisturizing properties and is a perfect match for dry and sensitive
skin types.
Thank
you for sharing Biki!
This chocolate face mask is Biki's favorite
natural skin care
recipe because it is sweet but doesn't add any weight!
Your
skin is going to feel beautifully soft and smooth. Even better,
you get to lick the bowl.
~ Chocolate Facial Mask
Recipe ~
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 2
tablespoons of heavy cream (sour cream will work as well)
- 3 teaspoons of oatmeal
- Mix all the ingredients
thoroughly
- Apply on the face, gently
massaging it so that
the oatmeal will exfoliate the dead skin cell layer
Leave the mask on for about 20 minutes. Rinse off
with
lukewarm water.
In case you are wondering, Biki explains that there is a reason oatmeal
and honey are added to this mix.
Similar to its use in body scrub recipes, oatmeal
is recommended for sensitive skin, but can be used in preparation of
facial masks for any skin type, as well as for preparation of facial
exfoliants as it is gentle on the skin, yet highly powerful.
