Its been too many days since I have put up any beauty tip. So, today, just to pamper myself I made a chocolate mask.
Ingredients –
- Cocoa powder
- Fresh Sugarcane Juice
Yup!! Only two things and it is very simple to get sugarcane juice as summers are approaching and you would have many hawkers putting up sugarcane juice stalls.
Cocoa Powder is an amazingly moisturizing ingredient as you all are very well aware of. It also has anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties.
And, fresh sugarcane juice has glycolic acid which is one of the most important Alpha Hydroxy Acids which are very important for skin. It firms up your skin, removes the dead skin cells, makes the skin glow like anything, reduces pigmentation on regular usage and has amazing anti-aging properties.
Result: A very soft skin which glows instantly. You might not require a moisturizer if you have normal skin otherwise if you have dry skin then follow up with a little of moisturizer or your favorite oil. Even combination skin and oily skin can benefit from this mask as glycolic acid is extremely good for controlling oil production of the skin so you need not worry about the mask being heavy.
One thing about this mask is that it does dry up unlike mixing chocolate with honey. And, when you are removing it, it comes off very easily so do try it out and post your views 🙂
Update: The best results are seen on the next morning after applying the mask. So, apply this mask at night and take your regular deep beauty sleep. And, voila!! Next morning your face would be glowing 🙂
me trying this also, thanks thank
hey Rentu…sure would love to hear your feedback 🙂
HI Swati,
Not sure if this post is still open to comments yet taking my chance. Just wanted to know if it is possible to make this mask in quantity and store? Does it have a shelf life since sugarcane juice turns brown after 15 min of extraction?
Hopefully you would see this soon 😀
