Attention all choc-o-holics! Could it be true that a chocolate bar can actually help to clear your complexion? Believe it or not, the masters behind the Borba Clarifying Anti-Blemish Chocolate Bar, $8, claim their Swiss, dark chocolate bar is formulated to remove toxins, prevent breakouts and reduce irritation and redness on your face.

Scott Vincent Borba, of BORBA Nutracueticals, and Kristy Choo of Jin Patisserie, have joined forces to challenge the oldest chocolate related fallacy known to man.

This petite bar of chocolate is made with extracts from the Acai berry, green tea and biogenic Vitamin C to help strengthen your capillary walls as well as restore radiance to your skin. Lastly, the special cultivated bio-vitamin complex also found in the bar helps your skin cells regenerate more rapidly.

In a recent study, 52% of the sample group who ingested this chocolate bar regularly over a 28 day period reported their breakouts were significantly reduced. I can hardly believe that chocolate could be the answer to my breakouts. This is revolutionary!

You all got a kick out of my post on Borba's Clarifying Anti-Blemish Chocolate Bar and now the nutraceutical company has teamed up with fab makeup company Tarte. Check out this Tarte Inside Out Vitamin Lip Gloss, $21. It combines Tarte's long-lasting, moisturizing lip gloss with BORBA's vitamins delivering powerful skin protecting ingredients. The pomegranate-scented lip gloss is mouth-wateringly gorgeous with its hint of sexy sheen, but it's the vitamin cocktail that will keep you coming back for more. It comes in three flavors: Apple-A-Day (shown), Liquid Sunshine and OM. This gloss contains complexion-refining acai, green tea and grape-seed extract. Double yum!

I always wondered how much lip gloss I actually consume. Now I can argue that lip gloss is good for you!
