TREAT YOURSELF TO CHOCOLATE

As we approach Valentine’s Day, many of us will be spoiling ourselves or our loved ones with chocolate-covered strawberries or an assortment of truffles. Most know that chocolate is good for the soul, but did you know it’s just as beneficial for the skin? 

At GlyMed Plus, we use two ingredients derived from the cocoa bean: 

1. THEOBROMA CACAO SEED BUTTER 
  • Contains over 25,000 antioxidants 
  • Highly moisturizing 
2. THEOBROMA CACAO SEED POWDER EXTRACT
  • Moisturizing qualities 
  • Rich in antioxidants 
  • Contains vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and iron. 

Theobroma Cacao or cocoa is rich in Vitamins E and B and is abundant with fats and moisturizing lipids that help plump and firm the skin. Cocoa also contains a large number of antioxidants which aid in protecting your cells from damage, such as the breaking down of collagen caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. 

 

CHOCOLATE MASQUE

When it comes to pampering your skin with cocoa, our Chocolate Masque is sure to satisfy any chocolate craving you might have! 

Not only is the Chocolate Masque rich with cocoa, but it’s also combined with other amazing ingredients, such as acai, resveratrol, jojoba and papain. These ingredients offer refining, anti-aging and restorative benefits to the skin, making it a wonderful addition to your skincare routine.

BENEFITS OF CHOCOLATE MASQUE:
  • Increases firmness and elasticity

  • Reduces pigmentation
  • Contains antioxidants that fight free radicals

Hydrating HAND & BODY LOTION 

Another favorite in the GlyMed Plus box of chocolates is our Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion. This creamy, lightweight, moisture-drenching lotion has a cocoa and shea butter base that leaves skin feeling silky smooth without a greasy after-feel. It also harnesses the deeply hydrating and healing powers of avocado and sunflower oils, making your skin feel young and radiant all over.

If you love the taste of chocolate on your lips, you’ll also appreciate our Lip Enhancer moisturizer. It is packed with pure mega moisture emollients, including cocoa, and powerful peptides to diminish fine lines and support a smooth, youthful border around your lips. The natural and safe vasodilators in Lip Science dilate your blood vessels to give your lips a fuller, more plump appearance.
