Dark chocolate is good for skin?

New Delhi: Dark chocolate is good for skin, being said in a new study. The study says that it could prevent wrinkles and cut the risk of skin cancer caused by exposure to sunlight. The study is published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

Researchers carried out a study to assess the potential of dark chocolate preserved with high flavanol against skin damage from sunlight as a contrast to conventional dark chocolate.

“Chronic UV exposure is the main cause of premature skin aging and also plays an important role in cutaneous carcinogenesis,” said Dr. Stefanie Williams, dermatologist, Cosmetic Science Group, who carried out the research.

She says further, “Our study demonstrated that regular consumption of chocolate rich in flavanols confers substantial photoprotection and can thus be effective at protecting human skin from harmful UV effects.”
