Italian women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. Their beauty certainly catches the eye not only of men but also of slightly jealous ladies who would like to know what the secret of their appearance is. We check what are the beauty secrets of Italian women
Chocolate – not just for eating
Mediterranean beauties love dark chocolate. Of course they like to eat cubes of this sweetness full of natural cocoa, because it provides endorphins and is healthy.Chocolate is also a real feast for the body. Italian women not only eat (in moderation) chocolate, but also like to undergo extraordinary massages with hot chocolate – at home as well as in professional beauty salons.
Such treatments are called “youth antidote” because the valuable properties of cocoa beans nourish and regenerate tired skin and improve microcirculation. This is due to the fact that cocoa beans are rich in caffeine, which stimulates blood circulation and, which for many ladies will certainly be great news, accelerates fat burning.
Natural, organic and homemade cosmetics are the basis
