With a range of beneficial constituents, cocoa powder is a wonderful ingredient for the skin that helps improve its appearance and health by bringing in brightness and plumpness. One of its main constituents is caffeine, which acts as a vasodilator and stimulates blood flow, effectively “waking up” up the skin and giving it a fresh appearance. Another great constituent in cacao powder is theobromine, a potent antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage and improve its elasticity.
