Yogurt

Yogurt has moisturizing and anti-aging properties that help smoothen rough skin and add a youthful glow to it. It also contains lactic acid that gently exfoliates the skin, tightens the pores, reduces skin blemishes, and heals suntanned skin.(2)

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is another amazing ingredient that promotes soft and smooth skin. It is effective in cleansing the pores and absorbs excess oil from the skin. Owing to its saponin content, oatmeal works as an exfoliant and helps remove dead skin cells and acne-causing bacteria. In addition, it helps maintain the pH of the skin.(3)

Honey

The numerous skin benefits of honey make it an excellent choice for any skin care recipe. It helps the skin retain its moisture and promotes a glowing complexion. Plus, its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties soothe and protect acne-prone skin.(4)

How to Use Your Homemade Chocolate Face Mask

  1. Slather this homemade chocolate face mask on your freshly washed face and neck.

  3. Remove the mask using a moist paper towel or a soft washcloth.
  4. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  5. Repeat once or twice a week.

Additional tips

  • Do not confuse cocoa powder with a hot cocoa mix or chocolate milk mix, which has less cocoa content and added sugar.
  • Use raw honey for best results.
  • To make powdered oatmeal, grind the oatmeal in a blender or coffee grinder, or simply use oat flour instead.
  • If you have dry skin, add a little olive oil for extra moisturization.
  • If you have a sensitive skin, replace the yogurt in this recipe with milk cream.
  • Apply sunscreen daily to further protect your skin from the harmful rays.
