Among creams and packs made of various ingredients, chocolate has become a favourite among women when it comes to pampering their skin. Chocolate facial, chocolate manicure and chocolate pedicure are most popular. It is said that chocolate contains many compounds, some of which offers significant benefit to the skin.
Chocolate acts as an excellent moisturizer for the skin. It works wonders for sensitive and dry skin types. Realising the rich benefits of chocolate on our skin, many beauty salons are offering chocolate-based beauty treatments. Bangalore-based Pittstop Salon & Day Spa is one such beauty salon known for its chocolate facial, pedicure and manicure.
"Chocolate, especially the dark chocolate, is rich in its moisturizing properties and suits best for dry skin. It has a great cooling effect. The chocolate scrub, which is part of the facial, pedicure/manicure helps in exfoliating the skin thus leaving it soft and smooth. What else, the pleasant smell of the chocolate makes you feel rich and relaxed," says Poornima Shetty, owner of Pittstop.
 
Chocolate creams, scrubs and moisturisers are made in-house at Pittstop. The chocolate manicure or pedicure really helps in deliciously pampering your skin. The procedure starts with a warm soak of your legs and hands. Followed by a chocolate scrub that removes dead and dry skin, and finally a soothing massage with a moisturising cream made of chocolate and cocoa butter for hydration. It surely is an unforgettable experience.
"All of us want to pamper our skin and look good. At times, we give more importance to face alone and tend to neglect our hands and feet. Recently, I discovered that chocolate manicure and pedicure has a great effect on the skin. The chocolate-based scrubs, creams and lotions makes my hands and feet very soft," says Anvitha Kumar, a PR professional.
While going in for a facial or a manicure/pedicure, more than anything, the aroma of chocolate makes your senses relax and gives a very soothing feeling. The chocolate colour on your skin may make you feel otherwise. But chocolate helps in reducing the tan on your skin and also adds enough glow to the skin.
So, what are you waiting for? It's celebration time. Indulge yourself in pampering your skin with the richness of chocolate. Enjoy the pure bliss.
