Sweet News!

A recent study conducted at UC San Francisco found that eating a 1.6-ounce bar of dark chocolate packed with flavanoids relaxes the blood vessels, increases circulation and improves blood flow to the heart! (Flavanoids are plant-based compounds that are also found in red wine and tea). This is very *sweet* news for healthier-looking skin! The flavanoids in just one square of dark chocolate on a daily basis can also significantly decrease skin scaling and roughness, and may help protect it from UV rays.

Here's a sweet tip: The darker the chocolate the better! Milk chocolate also contains flavanoids, but not nearly as much.
