Chocolate Facial Mask Recipe

As promised, I am posting the recipe for the Chocolate Facial Mask. It smells yummy, but probably not sweet enough to actually taste good!

Chocolate Facial Mask:
1/3 c. cocoa powder
3 T. heavy cream
1/4 c. honey
2 tsp. cottage cheese
3 tsp. oatmeal – I think baby oatmeal would work great if you have some!
Mix all ingredients together (a bullet blender is ideal – Amy’s notes: I used a regular blender, but a food processor might be better) and smooth onto face. Relax for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
***If you experience irritation, rinse immediately.

I got feedback from two testers on this recipe. I’ll share my own as well.
Brandi, age 16:
Skin type: combination
How did it make your skin feel?: soft
Any redness or irritation?: no
Will you use this recipe again?: yes

Kristy, age 35:
Skin type: combination
How did it make your skin feel?: Funky with the mask on. Ha! No, I think after I took the mask off, my skin felt soft. Wasn’t dry or pasty feeling.
Will you use this recipe again?: Sure, I think so. I didn’t have any problems with it, and my skin felt more soft, or maybe smooth is a better word.

As for me, I thought it felt really nice. I would classify my skin type as combination as well. My skin definitely felt soft & smooth, but I did experience a little bit of redness. Nothing that would stop me from using it again though! Mmmmm, chocolate.

  1. Wow that looks like it would be way to tastey to not just eat! The whole time I was reading the recipie I was thinking how it would taste on top of Vanilla Yogurt!

  2. how long can this store I was wondering if you can make it ahead and use as party favors for the bachelorette party for my daughter

  3. @Kristi – I’m sure it would be fine for up to a week in the refrigerator. Take it out early so it isn’t cold when it’s time to apply!
