This chocolate mask is a sumptuous addition to any self-care routine.

Mineral clays gently exfoliate and draw excess oil from the pores, while milk powder and ground oats keep skin firm and hydrated.

With the addition of chocolate, resist the temptation to eat—this recipe is best applied to face, neck, and décolleté.

Experiment with these variations:

• Add 1/2 tsp. honey
• Instead of water, try using a hydrosol
  • Or rose water, or brewed green tea
• Add 1 tbsp. yogurt
• Add 1 or 2 drops of essential oil appropriate for skin type
• Try adding 1 pump of your favourite nourishing skin oil (like the Living Libations Best Skin Ever)
