I always use cacao on my skin, have been doing this forever. My favorite skincare line is @elaaskincare ...................... I love using cacao in my beauty formulas. Consuming cacao internally is not only the most sensuous and delicious experience, it also has many health and skin benefits. Organic Cacao is rich in antioxidant flavonoids, which help to reduce and prevent aging and protect the skin from environmental and UV damage. It improves skin texture and hydration. It also aids with increased blood flow and cell function. It contains minerals that promote cell growth and tissue repair. This is a one-thousand year Mayan chocolate recipe. Maya Hot Chocolate Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup organic vegan milk 2 tbsp raw organic cacao powder 1/4 tsp organic cinnamon powfer 1/8 tsp organic nutmeg powder 1/4 tsp chili powder 1-2 tbsp honey or bee-free organic sweetener Preparation: • In a small mixing bowl, stir together cacao and spices. • Adding a small amount of the milk, whisk into a paste. • In a saucepan, heat remaining milk slowly over medium heat, making sure to remove just before boiling. • Slowly add the paste to the saucepan and bring it back to a simmer until slightly thickened. • Pour into a mug and stir the honey in. • You may also use a skin brush to apply the mayan chocolate to your face.
