Chocolate is good for your skin?

March 22, 2024

Chocolate is good for your skin?

Do you remember the day you found out that eating chocolate was associated with breakouts? It was almost as disappointing as the day you found out Santa wasn’t real. But we have some great news for you… we have developed a healthy, low sugar Collagen Hot Chocolate that is actually GOOD for your skin. This decadent, delicious Collagen Hot chocolate will be your new favourite ritual to add to your beauty routine. It contains collagen, vitamin C and magnesium, making it the perfect indulgence to unwind and relax with.

Why does chocolate cause breakouts?

Ok let’s not outright blame the chocolate. The association between chocolate and breakouts is an unfortunate combination of factors involving certain features of chocolate and how some bodies respond to them. The first thing to consider is the high sugar content of many chocolates. If you’re consuming high sugar chocolate, it will spike your blood glucose levels. High blood glucose can have the unfortunate side effect of feeding certain types of bacteria (including the bacteria involved in acne) and increase the risk of infection. It can also disrupt the gut microbiome, and whatever problems you are having in your gut will be reflected in your skin. High blood glucose also increases the amount of insulin your body produces which can also stimulate other hormones known as androgens, which can upregulate oil production, clog pores and cause skin congestion. Chocolate may also contain other ingredients that certain individuals may be sensitive to, including dairy milk, soy, low quality fats and artificial additives.

Our Collagen Hot Chocolate is low sugar and contains none of those ingredients. It’s all of the good stuff, and none of the problematic stuff.
