Beauty recipes: Chocolate for super-awesome skin? And ultra-glossy hair? Yes, please

Imagine your tired limbs sinking into a delicious vat of steamy hot chocolate. Or your hair sending off tiny little wisps of aromatic wonderfulness every time you shake your head. Or your fingers being caressed by smooth slabs of creamy chocolate as the magic takes over all the senses. Or… tempted yet? I thought so.

Thankfully, International Chocolate Day can be all about chocolate-based skin and haircare. After all, this ‘elixir of the Gods’ has a zillion beauty benefits.

To start with, chocolate has thrice the oxidants found in green tea, making it a potent weapon against premature ageing. It also hydrates and softens the skin, while acting as a potent detoxifier.

Plus, its oils are excellent at getting rid of stretch marks and cellulite. No wonder cosmetic-makers have been using cocoa butter as a moisturizer since the mid-19th century.

And that’s not all. Chocolate also contains phenylethylamine and serotonin – ‘feel-good’ substances that are naturally released when we’re happy or in love. So, when life gets stressful, turn off the phone, turn down the lights and mix up your favourite chocolate-based beauty recipe. Candles and spa music optional.

Taking care of one’s skin never felt or smelled so good.

Beauty recipe #1: Chocolate and honey face scrub

Why it works: This scrub increases circulation, detoxifies the complexion, boosts hydration and fights skin-damaging free radicals. The result is soft, smooth and supple skin.

1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup Demerara sugar
1/2 oz sweet almond oil
Honey 
 

Combine all the ingredients using enough honey to form a paste. Gently apply this paste to freshly washed skin; lightly massage with your fingertips and then rinse off with warm water.

Beauty recipe #2: Clarifying chocolate mask

Why it works: The oatmeal soaks up excess oils, while doubling as an exfoliant. The honey helps refine pores, kills surface bacteria and reduces inflammation. Chocolate’s polyphenols banish fine lines and wrinkles… while lifting your mood.

3/4 cup lukewarm water
1 cup instant oatmeal
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup 
 

Stir all the ingredients until well-blended and apply the mixture to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then lightly scrub off with lukewarm water.

Beauty recipe #3: Hot chocolate bath

Why it works: This milk-and-chocolate combo soothes and softens your skin. The comforting, super-indulgent feel-good factor is an added bonus.

2 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups warm milk
3 drops vanilla essence
 

In a bowl add cocoa powder, pour in the warm milk and stir until completely combined. Add the vanilla essence. Pour the mixture into your bath while it is running. Hop in and enjoy.

Beauty recipe #4: Cocoa butter body scrub

Why it works: This remedy is ideal for soothing hands and feet as it gently exfoliates old, dead skin and nourishes new cells.
 
1/2 cup almonds, coarsely ground
1/2 cup dry oatmeal
4 tablespoons cocoa butter
3 tablespoons honey
 
 

Mix together the oatmeal, cocoa butter, honey and ground nuts. Rub into your hands and feet, cover with cotton gloves and socks, and leave on overnight. The next morning, remove the gloves and socks and rinse.

Beauty recipe #5: Chocolate hair conditioner

Why it works: The 1-2 punch of smoothing coconut cream and shine-boosting cocoa tame even the frizziest and most indisciplined strands.

3/4 cup coconut cream
1/3 cup cocoa powder
 

Mix both ingredients in plastic bowl. Shampoo and use in place of regular conditioner. Use once a month or as often as necessary.

Looking for an anti-stress fragrance? ⁣
⁣
A fragrance that pulls you from the chaos into a sense of calm. Which can drop your blood pressure and make your body feel less wound up. 💚💚⁣
⁣
Want to know more about it?⁣
⁣
First we need to talk about “forest bathing” — scientifically proven for reducing stress and bringing our mind and body into balance. 🌳🌿🌱🍃⁣
⁣
In fact, the Japanese are even known to medically prescribe shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, which is about spending time in a forest. ⁣
⁣
There's no jogging, no hiking (and no bathing)... only immersing yourself in nature.⁣
⁣
Science establishes that this practise has very real benefits, including:⁣
— Stress reduction⁣
— Decreased inflammation⁣
— Drop in blood pressure⁣
— Increased positivity⁣
— Heightened immunity⁣
— Better sleep⁣
— Better skin⁣
⁣
Unfortunately though, this is becoming impossible in the chaos of city living.⁣
⁣
Which is why I have been LOVING The Nue Co’s Forest Lungs. Inspired by forest bathing, this is literally the next best thing to walking in a forest. 💚🌿🌿💚⁣
⁣
Green, woody, citrus and smoky, it mimics the effects of nature in more ways than one. ⁣
⁣
There is, of course, the fragrance itself — a blend of bergamot, vetiver, cedarwood and pine.⁣
⁣
But more important are the phytoncides: the  organic compounds produced by trees, which when inhaled, are both physically and emotionally healing.⁣
⁣
You will find me spraying it liberally on high stress days or when I need some centering. In about 15 minutes, I feel myself sinking into a state of calm… a state of relaxation.⁣
⁣
It’s like walking deep into the woods, under a canopy of lush green trees, feet sinking into the leaves and moss and fallen flowers. 🍀☘️🌿🍃⁣
⁣
It helps me just breathe easier, be less on the edge, have more bandwidth to focus. ⁣
⁣
Drop a 💚 if you could use some stress relief as well right now!⁣
⁣

Are you a sexy red? Or a demure ballet pink? Or maybe a bold and daring black? Fact is that whether they’re glammed up with sparkly polish or left unadorned, nails can tell a lot about a person. ❤️💙💜💛🖤💚⁣
⁣
Try to remember for a moment, what’s your instant assessment when you see someone wearing black nail polish? Now do you see my point? And does it make you wonder exactly what secrets your own nails are spilling?⁣
⁣
Swipe to see the scoop from colour psychology experts, who explain how your choice of nail polish could be making that first impression for you. 😎😻⁣
⁣
So, what nail polish color do you typically wear? And don’t cheat and say clear! Personally, I am all about a burnished gold or a soft glitter. You?⁣

Close your eyes and imagine you are stretched out on a freshly made bed. A bed layered with clean, crisp linen sheets that have been drying in an idyllic, rural backyard all day. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
There’s the lingering warmth of a languid summer day. ⁠☀️☀️☀️☀️⁣
⁠⁣
The cooling freshness of the sheer breeze blowing off dewy grass. ⁠🌾🌾⁣
⁠⁣
The embrace of wildflowers. ⁠🌻🌹🌸🌼⁣
⁠⁣
And the coziness of putting on clothes straight from the dryer after you step out of a long, languid bubble bath. ⁠🛁👚⁣
⁠⁣
That’s Clean Classic’s Soft Laundry eau de parfum: Clean, cool, comforting.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
With top notes of bergamot, pear and a marine accord that bring a burst of freshness the second you spritz on the fragrance. A middle of jasmine, waterlily and iris to bring home sun-drenched meadows. And a base of musk, amber and sandalwood to envelop you in a sense of well being.⁠ 🥰🥰⁣
⁠⁣
This is a perfume I can wear every day. Mornings, afternoons, evenings. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And while it’s not technically a nighttime, “going out” fragrance, I have had so many compliments whenever it’s remained on my skin for a party (because it has great longevity — so, if I have sprayed it on in the morning, there’s still a flicker late in the evening!). ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
It’s just so comforting and fresh and casual — light and perfect for layering.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And, like all Clean’s fragrances, it’s made up of clean, sustainable ingredients. Even the corn-derived cellophane wrapper is biodegradable and compostable.⁠ 🌿🌱⁣
⁠⁣
In short: It’s pure love for me. The hug I need as the day begins. The freshness that cools down my afternoons. The trail of comfort that goes with me through the day.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
What’s YOUR favorite daytime scent?⁠⁣
⁠⁣

Yes. And Yes. But you need to keep some things in mind for skin icing to be safe AND effective. (Plus, how gorgeous are these flower ice balls that are super-simple to make at home)? ⁣
⁣
Benefits of icing your face:⁣
⁣
🧊Reduces puffiness and inflammation⁣
🧊Helps minimize acne⁣
🧊Reduces redness⁣
🧊Makes pores look smaller⁣
🧊Tightens the skin⁣
🧊Soothes a sunburn⁣
🧊Reduces dark circles and puffiness under the eyes⁣
🧊Boosts blood circulation to gives you an instant glow⁣
🧊It’s super-refreshing!⁣
⁣
⁣
How to ice your face — safely and effectively:⁣
⁣
🔹If you have sensitive skin, don’t apply ice to it directly. Instead, wrap the ice cubes in a soft towel or muslin cloth.⁣
🔹Don’t hold the ice to one area of your face… keep moving it around constantly in small circular motions.⁣
🔹Don’t ice more than once a day.⁣
⁣
⁣
As for these gorgeous ice cubes you see here. Simply pop a few small flowers, leaves and herbs into your ice tray along with the water… they will freeze into utterly gorgeous pieces of art. 🌸🌼🌿🌱⁣
⁣
You can even use them for some super-cool looking beverages, if you can get your hands on some edible flowers.⁣
⁣
The easiest way to elevate your skincare and turn it into a self care experience, right? 💙💙💙💙⁣

The perfect red lipstick doesn’t exi—. But it does! ⁣
⁣
Red lipstick is my love language and after going through about 54738648957868768 of them in my 15-year career as a beauty editor, let me tell you that GXVE Beauty’s Original Me Matte Lipstick and I'm Still Here Matte Liquid Lipstick are real thing 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻⁣
⁣
Let’s say that again: The. Real. Thing.⁣
⁣
@gxvebeauty — the makeup brand by @gwenstefani — could have been just another one of those celeb launches with all the form and none of the function.⁣
⁣
With one small difference: Gwen has some serious real world makeup experience. ⁣
⁣
Before the Grammy-bedazzled music career, she worked as a makeup artist. And to date, she continues to do her own makeup for the stage. 🎙🎙⁣
⁣
AND she spent 4 years formulating her makeup line along with some of the best brains in the business.⁣
⁣
The result? High performance formulas that deliver.⁣
⁣
My favorites are the red lipsticks, an obvious starting point as Stefani made it her signature look in the 90s. 💄💄💄💄⁣
⁣
‘I’m Still Here’ is a budge-proof liquid lipstick that’s intensely pigmented, dries down to a matte finish and is super lightweight.⁣
⁣
‘Original Recipe’ is Gwen's signature true red — a luxurious, velvety matte that will stay on for hours without drying out your lips.⁣
⁣
Both shades have the happiness of those rare reds that work with all complexions, so you don’t need to play guessing games with undertones and overtones 💋💋💋⁣
⁣
And both are clean, vegan, and cruelty-free.⁣
⁣
So, yes… the perfect red lipstick does exist. With GXVE. Which, by the way, is pronounced as “give" and was inspired by how Gwen’s signed her name forever — Gx. That’s Gwen with a kiss 💋⁣
⁣
Are you Camp Red Lipstick? Or Camp Subtle? C’mon… SHARE!⁣

Lipstick? Sculpture? Something to casually swipe across your lips? Or a pure work of art?⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Somehow @florasis.official is the rare unicorn that manages to combine all these opposites into one GORGEOUS makeup offering that looks just as dramatic on your vanity as it does on your lips. 💄💄💄💄💄💄⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Scratch that actually... what it needs is its own glass box and spotlight. Get the lips out of the way!!!!!⁠⁣
⁠⁣
This modern Chinese brand is bringing to life heritage Asian legends and crafts for makeup products that have an instant heirloom quality. I mean, hold this intricately engraved lipstick in your hands and you will feel regal. I promise!⁠⁣
⁠⁣
And it's not a superficial feeling. It's one borne from an authentic mastery of the crafts. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Florasis has assembled some of the best artists in China — including Zhou Chunyi, a Master of Miniature Carving, who has collaborated on these carved lipsticks that are inspired by Chinese relief sculpture. 💋👨‍🎨👨‍🎨💋⁠⁣
⁠⁣
The brand also sources local floral essences and medicinal plant extracts for its color cosmetics. These Love Lock lipsticks, for instance, contains extracts of Dendrobium Nobile (an orchid native to southern China) and lotus flower — two beauty ingredients that were highly prized by indigenous Chinese beauties. 🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷⁠⁣
⁠⁣
I still haven't swatched this one because it's just too pretty to touch but I promise to get there soon 😭😭 ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Till then, I will just take it out every once in a while and soak up the pure joy it brings me ❤️🥰⁠⁣
⁠⁣
However, other friends who have been able to get around to actually using them (heartbreak city!) tell me they are super pigmented, lightweight and wear for a long, long time without fading or feathering. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
AND you don't need a passport to get your hands on one — they are available on Amazon (link in bio). 🗺️🌏️⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Would you buy a product and then tuck it away because you can't bear to spoil the way it looks? Or is that just me 🫣😳😵🥶⁠⁣

Buy a perfume and save the earth? Sounds lofty and no one product can actually undo the mess we have made of our planet. But kudos to brands that are trying.⁣
⁣
One of my favorites is @guerlain, which supports the super-endangered bee population through its Guerlain for Bees Conservation Programme. Through this weekend, 20% of the brand's sales will go to the Programme, which runs bee schools, sustainability initiatives & supports beekeepers through the year.⁣
⁣
A great fit, given the beauty brand's long association with bees — ever noticed that their iconic perfume bottles are adorned with a myriad of bees? ⁣
⁣
[Scroll through for closeups — and click the link in bio for whole history of Guerlain and the bees. Trust me, it's FASCINATING.] ⁣
⁣
But why are bees so important? Aren’t they just a pain? And can’t we just live without honey? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Well, when you consider that 90% of the world’s flowering plants & more than 35% of the food crops rely on these tiny, buzzy workers for pollination — and hence survival — do you still think we can live without them? ⁣
⁣
It’s not just honey, it’s about EVERYTHING. The food we eat, the flowers we love, the life we enjoy. Basically, bees may be the third most important thing for humans after the sun & water. 🐝🐝⁣
⁣
As Einstein said: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” 🌾🌺🥀🌻⁣
⁣
And these bees ARE disappearing at a frightening rate. Think pesticides, deforestation, WiFi signals, mono-cropping… it’s all causing bees to die out. 🌍🌏⁣
⁣
The problem is so serious that the United Nations has designated a World Bee Day (it’s today!). So, how can we help? Some of the easiest ways:⁣
⁣
🐝 Buy raw honey from local farmers ⁣
🐝 Reduce the use of pesticides, fungicides or herbicides⁣
🐝 Get bee-friendly plants for your garden⁣
🐝 Leave a water bowl outside for the pollinators⁣
🐝 Support bee-conscious brands — my other favorites are @burtsbees, @trudon and @gisou ⁣
⁣
And share this post to raise awareness... the decline of bees affects us all!⁣
⁣
Drop a 🐝 in the comments if you agree!

If, like me, you think of perfumes as one of life’s little joyful luxuries, Lancôme’s new Oui, La Vie est Belle is a fragrance that will tick all your boxes. ⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle… Yes, Life is Beautiful. 💖💝⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like a shower of dazzling fireworks… etched in gold on the iconic bottle. ✨✨✨✨⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s like the bottle which evokes the rounded imprint of a smile at the heart of a crystal square. ⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it’s dressed with the juiciness of raspberries, underlined with uplifting patchouli and overflowing with happy, gorgeous flowers like the powdery Iris, seductive jasmine, opulent Damascene rose and spicy ylang-ylang. 🌹🏵🏵🌹⁣
⁣
So beautiful that it makes me want to sparkle from the inside out. 🌟⭐️🌟✨⁣
⁣
Oui, La Vie est Belle. Yes, life is beautiful. And this perfume has become my reminder of that uplifting, reaffirming fact every single day. It inspires me to take pleasure in the little moments. It lifts my spirits when things get tough. It shines and sparkles when I slip into a silk dress for a night out with friends. And it radiates pure bliss when I don my oldest PJs and snuggle up with a good book for a night all to myself.⁣
⁣
Life is joyfully, utterly beautiful. So is this limited edition fragrance. I promise.⁣
