How to do Chocolate Facial at Home 

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove every trace of dirt and oil. You can use natural cleansers like a paste of milk & (a pinch of) turmeric or milk and besan.
2. Next exfoliate your skin with a homemade chocolate scrub. Take 1.5 spoons of cocoa powder. To this, add 1 spoon of olive oil, some brown sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract. Mix well and gently scrub your face with this in circular motion to get rid of dead skin cells and dirt.
3. Once you are done with scrubbing, massage your face with a nourishing chocolate cream. Mix some cocoa powder and grated paneer. Add honey to it and blend well to make a smooth paste with cream like consistency. Massage your face with this in gentle upward motion, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with plain water.
4. Now comes the chocolate face mask.
5. Pat your face dry and apply any face toner of your choice.

Take 1/3 cup of cocoa powder and add 4 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp of besan and 3 tbsp of curd to it. Mix well and spread the mask on your face evenly. Wait for 15-20 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. Besan will cleanse the skin thoroughly and curd will take care of excess oil of the face.

Wash off with lukewarm water.
