Raw cacao and its sky rocketing amounts of amazing
antioxidants are what make raw cacao contribute to super skin. Collagen, found
naturally in our skin, decreases as we age eventually leading to droopy and
weathered skin. The aging process can also sped up by environmental pollutants,
free radicals, and damage from the natural sun in todays busy world. The good
news is that natural flavonoids, an antioxidant, found in Cacao helps to
protect collagen in the skin, helping to slow down the aging process. These
same flavonoids also improve skins appearance and texture by increasing blood
flow to the skin, delivering healthy beneficial nutrients faster while
decreasing the skins sensitivity to light, helping to protect our skin from
harmful UV rays.
These fantastic flavonoids along with a substantial amount
of natural sulphur found in cacao, have also been shown to improve skin
conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and even acne. Increased blood flow to the
skin from cacao’s large antioxidant content results in better delivery of
nutrients and the removal of nasty toxins from the blood, expelling them for
good from the body. For those who may currently suffer with acne or oily skin,
don’t fear - cacao can aid and benefit your skin too. Cacao aids your skin to
help reduce overly oily production by gently and slowly drying it out. Its
antimicrobial properties may help reduce inflammation, so those pores won’t
become blocked and those unsightly and unwanted pimples will slowly dry away.
Toss or sprinkle raw cacao into homemade baked goods, smoothies, oatmeal or
simply eat on its own and start to notice a difference in your skin with
cacao’s super-cleansing content!
