This was my desperate effort to eat less Nutella by seeing the impact of putting it on my face. Use good dark cocoa – not a cocoa mix. It actually seemed to work, and now I keep this mask in the empty Nutella jar.

1. Mix together:
3 tablespoons pure dark unsweetened cocoa (for natural anti-oxidants)
1 tbsp. hazelnut oil (the food-grade hazlenut oil is toasted & more fragrant but
skin grade is better for your face, so you could do 1 tsp. food-grade with 2 tsp. skin-grade)
1-3 tsp. hazelnut syrup (organic if possible), more for stickiness
1 tsp. clay 
a drop or two of cream if needed to make it smoother
a few well-ground hazelnuts

2. Adjust the dry/moist to meet your smell and consistency preferences

3. Dab on – it is sticky. 

4. Relax and appreciate different pathways to satiety for 5-10 minutes.

5. Rinse and face the day or evening with a chocolate scent on your person.
