Tweet This one was interesting. In my never ending quest to find all the latest and greatest in acne fighting products, which of course always range from credible and believable to almost ludicrous, I found a new product after my own chocolate loving heart. It’s a chocolate bar that claims it helps to fight acne. Of course, this goes against everything we’ve been taught since our teens : that chocolate was the arch enemy of our skin and caused a veritable eruption in our skin virtually at the mere sight of it’s sweet and creamy goodness. So, What’s Up With...
