What Is Chocolate Massage ?
What Are the Benefits of Chocolate Massage ?
You’ve probably already guessed it but may not believe it. Chocolate massage is exactly what it sounds like – you are massaged using warm melted chocolate instead the oil or cream.
That’s right, prepare to be dipped in chocolate!
But before you rush off to get this luxury session of chocolate with a massage thrown in, it is probably worth noting that the is not the chocolate you can pick up at your local store. Therapists use a blend of large amounts of melted cocoa paste with a standard massage base oil (such as almond + Jojoba oil) and usually add some minerals and essential oils.
All of which means the chocolate that is used for massage might look and smell very appealing, but it is probably a lot better for your skin than it is for your digestion!
Chocolate’s high caffeine content stimulates your circulation, allowing your blood to naturally rejuvenate and heal your skin. Antioxidants also give your skin a plumper, firmer feel and help your cells build collagen and elastin. Antioxidants work throughout your skin to prevent damage by free radicals, the culprits responsible for aging skin and loss of elasticity.
