Chocolate is a product based on cocoa solid or cocoa fat, and finely powdered sugar to produce a solid confection. Chocolate is a popular ingredient and is available in many types such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, semisweet chocolate and bittersweet chocolate.

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.
