Hey! I come to you today with another post about DIY cosmetics, this time it will be a DIY chocolate homemade face mask. Such a mask with the addition of clay, cocoa, cream and oils is very nourishing, so it is especially recommended for dry and tired skin, because it has an anti-stress and soothing effect, firms and also greatly strengthens the protective barrier of our skin.
This is my favorite mask, I love to make it at the end of a tiring and difficult day. Such a chocolate fragrant spa immediately puts me in a wonderful mood. The mask is always perfect for me! It is very cheap and simple to make at home. The addition of a cream makes the mask thick and smooth and easy to apply, and it will not dry out as quickly as it is in the case of clay. This causes unpleasant skin tightening, and even its drying. That’s why I love these moisturizing ingredients – just mix them in a bowl and we can apply them to the face moistened with the hydrolate. Here is a simple recipe for how to create and make your own homemade cocoa and oil facial mask. Please see my post.

For this purpose, I usually use samples of creams, which I always have a lot – I get them for free when shopping from online stores and pharmacies. Such a small sample is just right for this mask.
