A chocolatey sugar scrub makes a wonderful gift around Valentine’s Day (for yourself or someone else). This silky-smooth scrub has a rich brown color with a naturally sweet chocolate scent.
WHY CHOCOLATE?
It may seem too good to be true but chocolate in skincare is beneficial! Okay to be honest it’s really the cacao, but even over-processed cocoa powder has some benefits. Cacao comes from the raw seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree which can be found in Central and South American rainforests. The processed cacao beans are the primary ingredient in chocolate.
Cacao is rich in flavonoids, which results in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. These benefits include younger and smoother looking skin. It also can help reduce redness of the skin, giving it a healthy glow. Don’t forget to eat a little dark chocolate for all its health benefits as well!
CINNAMON TOO?
You may have noticed that this scrub includes cinnamon in the ingredients. Surprisingly, cinnamon is also good for your skin. In fact, it brings blood to the skin’s surface and helps with circulation, rejuvenating the skin and giving it a glow.

VALENTINE’S DAY
Having smooth skin can give us confidence and help us feel pretty, however God sees the true beauty within us because He created us. Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV) says ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.’ We are all fully known and beautiful to Him, we are His treasure and He loves us soooo much! Here’s a FREE printable scripture on God’s definition of LOVE for you to meditate on. I hope you all have a blessed Valentine’s Day.
