Sure, you can seek out an exotic spa that offers a chocolate skin treatment for some ridiculously insane price. But why do that when you can make it at home for a couple of bucks? At OA, we are increasingly excited about the idea of creating our beauty rituals from natural, organic foodstuffs with our own two hands; highly satisfying. And also, highly effective!

Plus, pure dark chocolate is gaining well-deserved recognition for its health benefits. In terms of skin, they can be potentially plenty. Cocoa products are among some of the most concentrated sources of flavinoids - rich antioxidants - that have the ability to destroy free radicals and inhibit lipid oxidization. We all know what that means; anti-aging allies. Chocolate, when spread on the skin, can promote that ever-illusive youthful glow, reduce fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and protect from environmental effects such as sun and pollution.

Give this rich, creamy and dare we say it - delicious - face mask a homemade try. And if a bit slips into your mouth... enjoy!
