 What else can cocoa do? Increase the circulation within our skin, boosting at 70% within two hours, after less than a tablespoon, do that every day. And within three months, you end up with significantly improved skin thickness, density and hydration, but no change in wrinkles. However, keep it up for six months and you do see an improvement in wrinkles, a significant decrease in wrinkled depth, along with an improvement in skin elasticity within 12 weeks, all by making your life a little more chocolatey by just adding some natural cocoa powder to your daily diet. I put it in my oatmeal with some canned water-packed tart cherries for a chocolate-covered cherry sensation.
