In order to improve your complexion, you do not necessarily need to use dark chocolate for a facial. The idea behind using dark chocolate would be to infuse rich nutrients and oils into your skin. You can also do this with other substances. This is because if you cannot find pure and untouched dark chocolate then it will be of little use in your facial. The chocolate to be used must not be sweetened at all; otherwise you may see adverse results instead of positive ones. The almond and milk face pack is an excellent remedy for all skin types. You can also make a few changes to this pack if you so desire. You can actually soak a few strands of saffron in milk overnight and add this to the almond and milk mixture. Applying this would also lend a beautiful golden glow to your skin over a period of time. If you are troubled with the problem of wrinkles and fine lines, then you should use a collagen face pack to make sure that you replenish your skin with the collagen it has lost over the years. Beyond a point, the skin loses its capacity to product collagen, which is basically the natural elastic of the skin. Instead it begins to wrinkle and get fine lines. An excellent collagen rich product to use is pineapple. You can make a face pack with equal parts of pineapple and papaya pulp and add honey to it. This can be applied and left on your face for about 15 minuets each time. It is better to use this about once a week for best results.

If you have uneven skin tone, you can make a pulp of tomato and cucumber and use this. Both of these products are natural skin toners and will help to even out the tone of your skin. They are also mild bleaching agents and will help to bleach your skin mildly as well. This can be used everyday if you wish. Imply apply the fresh pulp to your face before having a bath. Leave on for about 10 to 15 minutes and then wash off while bathing. It is also important that you make a routine of moisturizing your face each night. This will improve the general health and quality of your skin as well. Instead of trying these methods out for a few days, it is better that you make them routine.
