s winter approaches we are all looking forward to fuzzy socks, movie night,

sitting next to a warm fire and a cup

of warm cocoa. What is cocoa? The

food of the gods, the fruit, the bean

and the bar you crave. The dark brown powder is extracted from cocoa beans

and becomes cocoa powder. Besides satisfying your sweet tooth, it is also

used to beautify your skin. Cocoa

helps repair the skin, exfoliates,

reduces acne and is loaded with

anti-oxidants that prevent wrinkles.

Did you know that cocoa powder is

used in lots of high-end beauty

products? Well you can now make

them in the comfort of your own

home. Kitchen for cosmetics?

Definitely! Here are some of the

many easy to make beauty products I discovered that were finger licking

good.

you would any bronzer with a full bronzer

or kabuki brush

on eyelid crease with a crease brush

Body Glow- add coconut oil and massage

into skin

Exfoliator- add brown sugar & olive oil and apply in a circular motion to remove dead skin
