Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains
many of the health benefits of dark vegetables.
Chocolate became synonymous for bad skin. Now it happens to be the
solution to perfect skin care. How? Let us have a look.
· It has powerful anti-oxidant properties and is
considered to be a health food.
· Chocolate has skin softening properties,
probably as it contains cocoa butter.
· It is used to smooth out wrinkles due to the
anti-oxidant properties.
· The anti-oxidant properties prevent the free
radicals from causing damage to the
skin’s elastin, other protein and collagen. Yes, chocolate is a champion
antioxidant!
· It has a nourishing effect on the skin.
· One can exfoliate the dead skin cells and
regenerate news ones.
· Hydration of the skin is possible.
· Eating foods that are rich in flavonoids help to
maintain collagen and fight against sun damage.
Flavonols (the type of flavonoid found in chocolate) help your skin look its best. Flavonols are antioxidants that help your skin protect itself from UV damage (hello, fewer wrinkles) fight free radicals (so long, sun spots) and increase blood flow.
