Cocoa powder contains lots of minerals including calcium, potassium and zinc as well as high levels of caffeine and theobromine. These compounds are able to break down fats and can have a draining effect on fatty cells which allows them to be used to firm skin. Combined with moisturising honey and exfoliating double cream, this Chocolate Honey Cake Mask is a delicious DIY beauty treat for your skin. Just don’t eat too much of it or you might feel a bit sick!
