This effect is explained by the unique composition of the fruits of the chocolate tree, as discussed above. Cocoa butter has a pronounced rejuvenating effect, which makes it an indispensable assistant in the fight against aging.

The human body is designed in such a way that reserves of vitamins, minerals and trace elements are not formed in it. Cells absorb exactly as many nutrients as they need at the moment. Therefore, there is often a situation of shortage of vital chemical elements. Chocolate wrap allows you to replenish the lack of vitamins, penetrating through the skin into deeper tissues.

Cocoa scrub

Scrubbing is an integral part of complete dermal care. It helps to free the skin from dead scales of the epidermis, deep impurities, and remnants of decorative cosmetics.

It is good to use cocoa as exfoliating particles, which not only cleanses, but also nourishes the skin.

To prepare a homemade cellulite scrub you will need:

½ cup cocoa powder;
a glass of sea salt (or brown sugar);
a little bit of any vegetable oil. They need to dilute the dry ingredients so that they do not scratch the dermis.

All components need to be mixed well, distributed over problem areas, rubbed intensively into the skin for 2-3 minutes. Leave the mixture on the body for another 5 minutes so that the epidermis absorbs the beneficial substances. Then wash off the remaining scrub with warm water without soap. Treat the affected area with your usual anti-cellulite cream.

The benefits of chocolate wrap

It’s not for nothing that a chocolate wrap in a salon is one of the top facial treatments. Its action is as follows:

cocoa bean oil moisturizes the skin, nourishes and smoothes it, increases turgor;
due to the antioxidant effect, cells get rid of free radicals - the main cause of aging;
the presence of beta-carotene in the composition provides a mild exfoliating effect;
caffeine promotes fat burning in problem areas;
polyphenols and essential oils speed up metabolism and remove excess fluid;
Due to the presence of flavonols in the composition, regeneration processes are launched, as a result of which minor inflammations and pimples go away.

Chocolate also promotes the production of the happiness hormone, which ensures a good mood after the procedure and stabilization of the emotional background.

It is impossible not to note the effectiveness of chocolate wrap in the fight against cellulite. Care using cocoa activates the production of natural elastin and collagen in the skin. Due to the fact that excess fluid is removed from the tissues, problem areas of the body become more toned, their relief is noticeably evened out. Chocolate anti-cellulite wrap provides an effective fight against extra centimeters in the hips, buttocks, abdomen, back and arms.

Anti-cellulite massage with cocoa

Massaging problem areas is one of the most effective auxiliary ways to eliminate cellulite. External influence on the integument stimulates blood flow in the problem area, which accelerates metabolism and intensive removal of fat cells from the body.

For the procedure, special creams are used that prevent mechanical trauma to the skin. As a similar product, you can use cocoa butter heated in a steam bath or powder dissolved in any base oil to obtain a paste with a consistency convenient for application.

You can do a massage in a salon or at home. When performing independent manipulations, you need to start the session with stroking movements, gradually increasing their intensity. Then you can move on to pinching and kneading. The massage should be completed with soothing strokes. Hands should move from bottom to top (in the direction of lymph outflow).

Indications for the procedure

This procedure is useful for men and women of any age. Its effectiveness has been proven for several decades. Indications for chocolate wrapping include:

fading and dry aging skin (due to the presence of cocoa butter, polyphenol and vitamins B1, B2, PP, A, E, the composition provides a strong antioxidant effect, which helps slow down the aging process);

Chocolate wrap procedure in the salon

Chocolate thermal wrap is a complex procedure that includes exfoliation of the top layer of skin and application of a cocoa butter-based composition. It is also possible to accompany the procedure with a massage.

How to make chocolate wrap:

The specialist conducts a consultation with the client, then he is asked to put on disposable underwear.
Before applying the active composition, the skin is gently cleansed and polished with a scrub. This enhances the effect of the chocolate mask. Due to the fact that the keratinized scales of the dermis are removed, blood circulation improves, and the components of the wrap penetrate deeper into the tissue. If you additionally perform a relaxing or anti-cellulite massage, the effect will be even more pronounced.
The chocolate mass, heated to 37–40 degrees, is distributed over the skin in a dense, even layer.
To ensure the sauna effect, the body is wrapped in film and covered with a warm blanket. While the client lies with the wrap for half an hour, additional facial treatment can be done.
Finally, the wrap is washed off with a warm shower, and then a special serum, lotion or body cream is applied to the skin, which allows you to achieve maximum tightening and moisturizing effect.

Chocolate wrap can be done as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other body skin care programs.

Recommendations before and after the procedure

If you want to achieve maximum cosmetic results, add regular exercise and proper nutrition to the wrap. This will help make your skin beautiful and elastic in a short time, eliminate cellulite, and reduce excess fat deposits.

One of the recommendations for the procedure is to consume two pieces of dark chocolate immediately before the session.
The wrap is carried out only on clean skin, so you first need to take a shower with a washcloth, rub your stomach, thighs and buttocks well, do a massage and only then apply the product.
At the end of the session, you need to rinse off the composition with warm water and apply a nourishing cream to the body.
On the day of the procedure, it is recommended to drink at least 2-3 liters of clean water. It is better to adhere to this recommendation on other days. Drinking herbal tea is not prohibited.
You can't do a chocolate wrap after taking a bath.

Cocoa powder or butter, which to choose?

In cosmetology for cellulite, chocolate tree beans are used in two forms:

oil, which is fat obtained from compressed fruits;
powder - dried cake left after squeezing the oil.

Bulk cocoa can be bought at any store. For skin care, you need to choose a pure product without added sugar or flavorings.

Attention: use only the highest grade powder. It is distinguished by a uniform, rich brown color. It is forbidden to use a product that has expired!

The oil is sold in pharmacies or specialized stores. It can be natural or deodorized. Both types are equally effective, but the first has a rich chocolate aroma, the second is almost completely odorless. Cocoa butter is solid and heats up at a temperature of about 37 degrees.

The powder product is easier to use at home, but fat is considered preferable because it contains the active ingredients in higher concentrations. The substance is included in products for various skincare and cosmetic procedures.
