Do you know that a human skin replaces itself every 35 days and is one of the largest organs of the human body? Skin consist of three distinct layers:

• Epidermis – The Top Layer

• Dermis – The Middle Layer

• Sub Cutis – The Bottom Layer

The skin is the protective shield that acts as the first line of defense for all the hidden bones, ligaments, muscles and other internal organs from external toxins, pathogens, and the sun’s UV rays. Healthy glowing skin plays a vital role in the mental well-being and self-esteem of an individual. Around half of the population across the world suffers from some or the other type of skin problem.

The way to the flawless skin is the healthy body, both inside as well as outside.

Adding a table spoon of cacao butter in the daily diet will supply your body with many essential nutrients that play a vital role in keeping your skin in tip-top condition:
