Chocolate is the most sought-after delicacy worldwide. Cocoa has been incorporated in various forms, into both foods and cosmetics. Cocoa has not only been used as gourmet food but has also served as medicine for ages. Chocolates are always in vogue and remain a testament to the cocoa bean, but the benefits attained from commercial chocolates remain a fallacy. On a positive note, chocolate has its health benefits but its effects on the skin need a better understanding. Hence this article focuses on the dermatological effects of cocoa, and its use as a dermatological therapeutic agent.
巧克力是全球最受欢迎的美味佳肴。可可已被以各种形式融入食品和化妆品中。可可不仅一直被用作美食，而且长期以来还被用作药物。巧克力始终很流行，仍然是可可豆的一个证明，但从商业巧克力中获得的益处仍然是一种谬论。从积极的方面来看，巧克力有其健康益处，但其对皮肤的影响需要更好地了解。因此，本文重点关注可可对皮肤的影响及其作为皮肤治疗剂的用途。
