This month’s blog is short and sweet, pun intended!


Each year as I approach the holiday season, the image of all of those delicious holiday treats loom over my head like a dark chocolate cloud. How I wish I could indulge without the guilt...

Solution! How about all the benefits with none of the guilt? Studies I have seen compare the highly nutritious antioxidant benefits of chocolate to that of green tea. Eating rich dark chocolate can increase your skins natural UV protection - the higher the % of cacao the more antioxidants you are getting. It also helps to eat little bits throughout the day (in moderation, because that’s how we all eat chocolate, right?) to extend the benefits. Yippee!!

Applied to the skin, the antioxidant content of chocolate can fight off free-radical damage that can break down the collagen and elastin in our skin (think wrinkle fighting). In addition, my scrumptious Chocolate Hydration Mask has wonderful skin smoothing and moisturizing properties.

So, as a special treat I’ve decided to get a head start on the holidays this year, and offer my wildly popular Chocolate Peppermint Facial this November. This was my most popular facial last December! So, drench your skin in a calorie-free chocolate mousse that fights the signs of aging deliciously and without all the calories.

Top it off with a kiss of peppermint LipToxyl and what’s not to love?Enjoy this fabulous Chocolate Peppermint facial for only $35! Check out all my other specials, treatments, makeup lessons and products at http://www.scoshskincare.com/.
