Chocolate Bliss Moisture Mask
- Ready In:
- 16mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- plain yogurt or heavy cream
directions
- Combine ingredients using just enough yogurt or cream to make a soft paste. The key here is a paste not a liquid. You want it very very thick so it will not run. If the mixture can 'run' off the spoon it will run off your skin.
- Apply to freshly cleansed face and throat.
- Kick back and relax for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a clean soft towel.

I loved the smell of this mask, but it was difficult to keep on my face it, the oil made the chocolate paste roll off, I had to add a little water to change the consistency so it would stay. After rinsing even thought there was a residue from the oil which in one sense made it softer it also felt tight, and made my skin itch a little so I had to put on moisturizer. I prefered it for the back of my hands then on my face. Made for I Recommend tag April 09

Winter has taken it's toll and my skin is sooo dry. Yet I am reluctant to spend money on those expensive treatments. This was perfect, a home treatment using ingredients I always have at home. Worked beautifully on my skin and I am thinking it might be nice as a hand treatment. The key here is to be really stingy with the yogrt/cream so it sits on your face while soaking in. Thanks Mama. Made for the I Recommend Game.

LOVED the way this made my skin feel! I made an error in preparing it, tho... I made it too thin, which became very apparent when I went to apply it while soaking in a hot bubble bath; it didn't want to stay where I put it (at least not for very long), and kinda ran all over the placeand into the bath water. :P No problem, though... enough of it stayed on to do the trick, and I just let myself have a "chocolate bath"! :rofl: I'm going to take the remainder and add more cocoa to it to get the consistency where it should be, and use it again. Silly, messy fun aside, it really did leave my skin feeling silky soft. Thanks for sharing!

This was fun to play with! I'm not sure the cocoa really added anything to the skin treatment, though. It did make a thick lotion which stayed on well, but I think the same effect could be achieved with a bit of bentonite. I think next time I will use the yoghurt and oil for the mask, and make a tasty treat from the chocolate.
