Cocoa Butter - my fall favorite!

When you think of ingredients which are good for your skin, cocoa isn’t the first one
that pops into your head, I have often been told to fight my chocolate addiction for
the sake of my skin! However the rules have now changed and I can now tell you, in
all honesty, that chocolate is good for your skin, well Cocoa Butter is! The soothing,
creamy goodness of Cocoa Butter couldn’t be a better addition to your organic skincare regime
and it is one I have been using for many years with wonderful results. The velvety,
intensely hydrating butter will leave your skin feeling amazingly sleek and smooth.

When fall arrives, bringing its inevitable colder weather, skin can often suffer as
the change in season can leave skin dry and dull. During the summer months your
skin becomes used to warm, sunny, humid weather and (if you practice good sun
protection) you use more natural sunscreens and lotions that also act as a moisture barrier. As
your skin endures increasingly colder, windier and drier atmospheres you need
a more intense moisturizer, whilst I use Cocoa Butter based moisturizer all year
round, I cannot stress the importance of using it during the fall. Its ability to deeply
hydrate your skin is second to none, whilst it is long lasting so you can apply it in
the morning and protect your skin all day from the harsh, changing environment.
A great Cocoa Butter Moisturizer is Creamy Cocoa Body Moisturizer by Badger, apply every morning, evening and after bathing to see you through fall by sealing in moisture and protecting your skin.

During fall it is not only your skin that can suffer, I often get sore, chapped lips no
matter how much of my usual chapstick I use. So as you change your wardrobe when
the seasons change, you should also change your moisturizer and lip balms. Cocoa
butter based lip balms will intensely hydrate and soften your lips whilst protecting
them and preventing chapping. Another benefit of Cocoa butter based natural lip products is that they
taste great too! I target chapping and get delicious kissable lips by using Creamy Cocoa Stick Lip Balm by Badger, and at only $5 it’s great value too!

So don’t let fall take its toll on your skin this year, whether your skin is prone
to becoming dry or you just want silky smooth skin, Cocoa Butter is a perfect
natural solution. Nature’s Basin offers organic skin care products which contain fair trade
cocoa butter to help the growers of the cocoa beans. Cocoa butter is one of my
favourite natural skin care ingredients because of its luxurious, rich texture which seals in moisture
leaving your skin and lips silky smooth with a mouth-wateringly delicious chocolate
scent, perfect for all you chocolate lovers out there!
