Who ever thought that the most versatile and delicious food ever

would find its way to beautifying us women who so love gorging on it?

Yes, beauty products made of chocolate are now being used all over the world to pamper women’s (and men’s!) skin just like it used to pamper our taste buds.

A little historical trivia: Did you know that chocolate was first used in 1100 BC, a time when blogging and Internet itself could not even be dreamed of, to say the least.

It used to be made into beverages, or cocoa. The word “cocoa” actually came from cacao tree, which was discovered to have pods that contains seeds that can be processed into chocolate. And the rest, shall we say, is history.

Centuries after, okay think of the year you were born, we can’t anymore imagine a world without chocolate. It has become the most popular “flavor” and the most used sweet ingredient. But who knew that it had beautifying powers as well?

For instance check out this super sweet Chocolate Orange Lip Balm. It’s not only made with real chocolate, it has orange extracts to boot, which adds zest to the yummy choco sensation. Make sure you’re ready for long smooches once your boyfriend gets a taste of your choco-laced lips.

Meanwhile, if you wanna smell like a choco brownie and make your boyfriend crazy just by sitting next to him, you can try this fabulous Chocolate Soap made with real chocolate and smells like a brownie, OR the very appetizing Chocolate Cupcake Soap. Mmm! Bet you’d have a hard time getting out of the shower with these chocolate treats!
