I’ve talked before about how much I like the Better show that airs locally now @ 8 AM for an hour on MyIndy (channel 10 for us). You can also always go to Better.tv and watch videos even if it isn’t available to you on air. Anyway, this AM they did a great segment on Chocolate and included a basic recipe for a chocolate facial (all the rage I’m told in spas). Unfortunately they didn’t give measurements of the ingredients (you can watch the segment here ). But here are the ingredients:
Dark Cocoa powder
Heavy Cream
Cottage Cheese
Instant Oatmeal
Honey (it’s on the table even though she never adds it)
Mix into a paste. Put on your face for 10 minutes and then wash off.
I also just googled to get recipes and found a similar one @ TheDermBlog.com :
1/3 cup of dark cocoa powder
3 T of heavy cream
1/4 cup of honey
2 T pureed or powdered oatmeal (I’m guessing quick oats or even baby food oatmeal would work, too.)
I have all of the ingredients except the heavy cream in my kitchen right now. What a great way to go to the spa on a dime. 🙂
