Chocolate bath for wellness at home

07.11.2011 2-minute read From Editorial team

After a long day at work, there is nothing better than relaxing. An idea for wellness at home is a chocolate bath.

What effect does chocolate have on the body?

Chocolate is a gift for the soul. Not only eating it, but also the smell soothes us and makes us happy. Through a chocolate bath, we not only inhale the soothing vapors, but the brown element also nourishes our skin and makes it supple.

Special bath chocolate contains not only cocoa butter but also shea butter. This gently cleanses the skin and is a balm for body and soul.

Application: simply break a piece of bath chocolate from the bar and add it to the warm bath water. At a temperature of approx. 38° degrees the bath chocolate melts perfectly. Since the chocolate acts like a moisturizer for the skin, you feel pampered and moisturized even after the bath. The skin is supplied with important nutrients and care substances during the bath, thus saving the need for post-bath care. Not only suitable as a gift for yourself, but also a nice idea as a present for family or friends.

Various types of chocolate for bathing pleasure can be found, for example, at DaWanda.
