By Delynda Lardone


While most people think of things like sea weed and clay when they think of body wraps, there are body wraps out there made of very different materials. One of these is the chocolate body wrap. You?re not going to be a giant chocolate truffle or a sticky mess using this though. Chocolate body wraps are actually sea clay wraps that are infused with cocoa to give the benefits of chocolate without all of the stickiness. It goes on very smoothly and feels extremely luxurious on your skin. Chocolate body wraps have a number of benefits for your skin and your quest to lose inches off your body. And the best part is that you can get these benefits without all of the calories.

Skincare

Cocoa is very good for the skin; that?s why you see things like cocoa butter! There are a few ways that cocoa helps the skin. It plumps out wrinkles by adding needed fats to the skin. It moisturizes skin and leaves a smooth glow behind. Cocoa also contains theobromine, a substance akin to caffeine and with many of the same benefits-it increases blood flow and helps skin look younger and healthier. Cocoa is also high in polyphenols which is a free radical that retards the aging effect on skin. Cocoa also tightens and firms skin, shrinks skin pores, and overall improves the look and feel of your skin.

Sensory Stimulation

Chocolate has emotional benefits as well; just ask any sad woman! However, in terms of body wraps, cocoa has benefits that go beyond simply making your skin look nice. The scent of chocolate is very evocative; it relaxes and releases endorphins in the mind-the feel good hormones that make you feel happy. Cocoa also leaves you smelling absolutely delicious; something that someone else in your life may appreciate as well!

Where to Get One

Chocolate body wraps can be done in your spa; but it is luxurious and it can be very expensive because of the high quality products used, not to mention the time. It?s a lot of fun to get one done for you; you don?t have to worry about anything and you can just engross yourself in the smell and feel of cocoa and sea clay.

If you can?t afford to have the treatment done for you, then you can order the chocolate body wrap materials online or from a few health food stores. You?ll obviously have to do it yourself then, but that can be fun too and just as relaxing, especially if you do it with someone else and can spend an hour or two chatting.

If you want a body wrap that will reduce the appearance of fat cells, shrink inches and make your skin look fantastic, then you want a chocolate body wrap. You get all of the benefits of any body wrap, plus extra conditioning for your skin and some luxury for the mind and soul as well. It?s a great way to relax and look great at the same time.
