Who says chocolate is just for eating? It has many antioxidant properties, and so it can actually be good for your skin! Green tea is also a great antioxidant, and here it is combined with dark chocolate to make a simple chocolate mask that can be enjoyed without the calories.
You will need:
100g of dark chocolate
2/3 cup whole milk
1 green tea teabag (I used green tea with Berry)
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until melted. Chop off the top of the teabag and pour in the leaves, then mix in all the other ingredients and stir.
Let cool for a few minutes and then spread on to your face.
Leave the mask on for three minutes or until it starts to go hard, and then wipe off with a warm towel.
The tea leaves and brown sugar help to exfoliate your skin, leaving it feeling lovely and smooth.

Looks neat...but I might want to eat the chocolate rather than put it on my face. ;-) Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week.
