Chocolate on your skin

Chocolate on your skin

Chocolate is more than just sweet temptation; chocolate also has a positive effect on body and mind.

The cocoa in chocolate contains theobromine , which increases levels of serotonin and endorphins in the body. Serotin counteracts depressed feelings, while endorphins provide relaxation.

Chocolate also contains natural antioxidants which have a positive effect on blood circulation in the body. A mixture of cocoa and cocoa butter has been developed especially for chocolate massage. During the massage, the heated cocoa butter is distributed over the skin. Your skin will be velvety soft, because the cocoa butter softens, nourishes and moisturizes. And last but not least :cocoa prevents skin aging!
