Raw cocoa butter

This has been copied from a fashion blog

Theres so much on the internet explaining why coco butter is good for your skin. Its high in anti-oxidants, which helps in smoothing out the skin. It’s great for dry skin, and stretch marks. Cocoa butter is said to help even out the skin tone, making scars less noticeable. The thing with these kinds of treatments is that they’re not going to be miracle workers. They’ll make a slight difference, but not huge. A tip I have learnt is that massage is helpful in this process because it breaks up the scar tissues. So, I am vigourously massaging in coco butter every night, before bed. To be honest, I have seen a difference in my skin, in that it is smoother and more moisturised. Scars…I think I’ll have to wait longer than 2-3 days for this!

What you do is, get some of the butter - I just chop bits off my huge block and melt it in the microwave. It then turns into an oil consistency - A bit like coconut oil. It’s quite thick, but it soaks in really nicely, leaving your skin with a nice sheen.
