Things you will need:

Unsweetened cocoa powder
Plain yogurt
Oatmeal
Honey
A bowl
A mixing spoon
Measuring spoons

Steps:

1. Put 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder in a bowl.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt.

3. Add 1 tablespoon of powdered oatmeal.

4. Mix in 1 teaspoon of honey.
Mix all the ingredients together well until they form a paste-like substance. When it reaches this stage, your facial mask is finished.

How to use
Slather this homemade chocolate face mask on your freshly washed face and neck.
Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the mask using a moist paper towel or soft washcloth.
Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Repeat once or twice a week.

Tips Do not confuse cocoa powder with hot cocoa mix or chocolate milk mix, which have less cocoa content and added sugar. Use raw honey. To make powdered oatmeal, grind the oatmeal in a blender or coffee grinder. Or, simply use oat flour. If you have dry skin, add a little olive oil for extra moisture. If you have sensitive skin, replace the yogurt in this recipe with milk cream. Eating dark chocolate in moderation can also benefit your skin. Research suggests that flavonol-rich dark chocolate or chocolate drinks can help protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
