Pure Chocolate facials don't have to break your bank.  With just a few simple ingredients you can create your own Chocolate Therapy for your private Chocoalte Spa.  There are a lot of ways to make cacao facials and cacao scrubs, by having some of the basic ingredients on hand you'll be able to whip up your favorite chocolate facial recipe in a few minutes.

Cacao Facial Mask Basics

Organic Cacao Butter   (Theobroma Cacao)   This delicious solid butter with a distinct chocolate like taste and aroma is derived from the Cacao bean.   Pure, food grade.

Cacao butter is a fabulous addition for softening and skin-healing properties.  The Cacao butter has a beautiful light aroma of chocolate.  It's the perfect oil for massaging daily into fast-growing pregnant bellies to avoid stretch marks.   Cacao butter is a fabulous addition for balms, lotions, creams, and soaps.

Cacao Butter is a yellowish vegetable fat most often used to soften and lubricate the skin.  Although a solid at room temperature, Cacao Butter melts on contact with the skin.   That's why it's often used in lip balms and skin creams.  Normally, Cacao butter is blended with more easily absorbed unsaturated oils such as Olive, Almond, Jojoba, Castor, Kukui or Avocado.  Cacao Butter is a super emollient made during the manufacture of Cacao and chocolate.

Today pregnant women across the world smooth Natural Organic Cacao Butter on their bellies to help prevent and minimize stretch marks.   Cacao Butter is not recommended for oily skin.

Benefits of Natural Cacao Butter include softening and protecting dry, chapped skin, relieving skin irritations, helps minimize wrinkles on neck, around eyes and mouth, aids to minimize stretch marks from pregnancy.

Organic coconut oil  (Cocos Nucifera )   When you take a whiff of this organic pure coconut oil you will be mentally transported to a Caribbean or South Pacific island.  Processed naturally using a centrifuge and gravity.  Organic coconut oil comes directly from the Fiji islands, Phillipines, Mexico and other tropical shores.  When solid Coconut oil is white, when liquid it is colorless with a soft creamy texture as it warms before it's melting point of 76 degress F.

If you like to sun bathe without toxins found in commercial sun tan lotions, Coconut oil is perfect.  Coconut oil is also used as a sexual lubricant or all over body oil, massagde into the hair for a truly moisturizing treatment prior to shampooing.....use your imagination.

Organic Cacao Powder  is a pure, natural organic powder from the Cacao bean.  This gives Chocolate Body Butters a deep, dark and sensual chocolate color and aroma which some find arousing tothe senses.  Chocolate on your skin will not leave dark coloration, only the light, lingering, rich aroma.

It is the Serotonin in Cacao which makes us feel good, free spirited and care free.

Raw Cacao nibs   form the pure raw material base of all high quality chocolate products and  chocolate desserts.  They are used in  hot cocoa drinks,  chocolate mousse, coffee drinks.  Cacao Nibs are also perfect for chocolate skin therapy.

You could also use your favorite   Dark Chocolate Bar  or even dark Chocolate Chips.

Cacao has a high serotonin content which gives you that great mood lifting quality.  After application of your cacao mask, releaxing, listening to music or  Brain Wave Therapy  is a great way to fully capture the euphoric feeling from Cacao.


                                                               


Chocolate Exfoliation Facial

     *  3 oz dark chocolate, semi sweet, Cacao nibs or chocolate chips
     *  1 c milk, my preference is  Raw Goat Milk
     *  1 tsp  sea salt

Melt Chocolate in the top of a double boiler over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent burning or sticking.  Blend in milk and salt, stir until everything is well blended.

Allow to cool slightly, apply with finger tips or a small pastry brush.  Cover all of your face, chin and neck if desired, avoid the tender area around your eyes and your lips.

Find something relaxing to do for about 25 minutes while the mask dries, then rinse with a clean cloth and cool water.

This cacao mask will beautifully hydrate your skin, remove dead skin cells, help minimize pores.  Your skin will feel rejuvenated, nourished and more youthful.

Cacao Coconut Purification Mask

     *  1 Tablespoon  Organic Coconut oil
     *  2 Tablespoons  French Green Clay
     *  2 Tablespoons plain Yogurt
     *  1/4 Cup Raw Cacao powder

Blend all ingredients in a stainless steel or glass bowl.  Apply Cacao Clay mask to your face using a pastry brush or your fingertips.  Leave on for about 25 minutes before rinsing.

Including clay in your chocolate mask will enhance the purificaiton properties and will further enrich your skin with the natural clay minerals.

Applying Cacao masks and facials is messy, so be prepared by covering your clothes with a towel.  Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your favorite Chocolate facial.

Healing Clays

French Green Clay  is appreciated for it's skin stimulating properties.  Your skin will feel revitalized because of the increased blood brought to the surface of your skin. which will help tighten your pores.  French Green Clay has traditionally been used for skin problems.  It's a very fine clay with amazing absorbent powers and pulls toxins and other impurities from your skin. It's a beautiful pale green color and can be used daily in facials or taken internally to remove  Radiatio.n

Once Bentonite is hydrated, it produces an electrical charge which attract and bind to toxins, heavy metals, radiation Bentonite  also commonly known as Montmorillonite, is probably the most commonly used healing clays.  Externally it's often used as a mud pack or clay poultice to help remove toxins from spider bites, wounds and infections.  Internally it can be added to water, juice or a smoothie to help provide about 60 minerals, and to help bind and remove toxins and parasites.

Bentonite attracts toxins, contamination, heavy metals, radiation and other debris and draws them into the center of it's molecular structure, where it binds, holds and removes toxins from your body through elimination.  It doesn't remove beneficial herbs and minerals from your body because it's electrical charge only attracts harmful substances.  We drink it in our Goat Milk Smoothie.  And we have found that all of our dogs, cats, horses and goats will prefer to drink water with Bentonite clay in it, rather than plain water.  It is equally beneficial for them.

Rhassoul clay  Also known as Moroccon Red Clay where it is mined.  There is documented use of Rhassoul clay, as a soap,hair wash, hair conditioner, facials and cleaner and for other medicinal benefits for more than 1,400 years.  Rhassoul has higher concentrations of magnesium and silica than other clays and produces the most favorable results.
