Decadent Chocolate Body Scrub

Chocolate has experienced a boom in recent years as part of the cosmetic industry. Today, every beauty salon or spa offers a treatment from this old delicacy.


Cocoa can prevent damage to collagen, elastin and other skin proteins that is caused by free radicals. Thanks to cocoa - the skin retains a youthful appearance and tension. There is some chocolate body scrubs that you can buy. I would have to suggest GIOVANNI Chocolate Sugar Scrub 9 oz which has crushed cocoa beans and is one of my favorite body scrubs.
