Chocolate is not an ingredient recommended if we want to keep fit, but there is a way to use it and to not give up its aroma. In fact, chocolate has a lot of beneficial properties for the skin and is rich, like the cocoa, in flavonoids and polyphenols, that are naturally occurring antioxidant which help protect our body against free radical damages.
