Directions

1

For the chocolate mask: Add honey to 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil.

Tip

This recipe makes enough for two to three facemasks. Make it just before you plan to use it.

2

Remove the honey mixture from the water and add the green tea bags. Set aside to steep for 10 minutes.

3

In a small bowl, mix the HERSHEY'S Cocoa and yogurt with a fork until combined.

4

Remove the tea bags from the honey water mixture. Squeeze the bags to get all the liquid before discarding.

5

Add the green tea mixture to the cocoa and yogurt, stirring to combine.

6

Apply the mixture to face, carefully avoiding the eye area. Leave on until dry, then wash off with warm water.

7

For the mocha sugar scrub: Mix the sugar, cocoa and coffee grounds in a bowl.

Tip

This recipe makes just under 3 cups of body scrub. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

8

Drizzle 3/4 cup oil over the cocoa mixture, stirring well to distribute evenly. When pressed, mixture should form small clumps; if needed, add an additional 1/4 cup oil.

9

Spoon the body scrub into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. To package for gift-giving, divide the scrub between 5 small (4-ounce) jars.

10

To use the mocha sugar scrub, first wet the skin in the shower or bath. Put a small amount in your palm and rub gently over areas that need exfoliation. Rinse well.

11

For the cocoa bath soak: Put the oats in a food processor and grind to a fine powder.

Tip

This recipe makes just under 3 cups of soothing cocoa bath soak. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

12

In a large bowl, combine the ground oats with the sea salt, cornstarch, baking soda and HERSHEY'S Cocoa. Mix well.

13

Spoon the bath soak into a jar with a tight-fitting lid, or divide the soak between smaller jars for gift-giving.

14

To use the soothing cocoa bath soak, add 1/2 cup to warm or hot water. Swirl to distribute through the bath. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
