HOTEL CHOCOLAT : COCOA JUVENATE

I was invited Hotel Chocolat in The Oracle to have a browse and play with the new range, I know chocolate is not normally something associated with a beauty regime and in fact some of us steer clear away from the sugar pumped treat to keep our skin clear at all costs.

Cocoa is actually full to the brim with antioxidants and a really fresh fragrance and Hotel Chocolat have decided to bring the luxurious cocoa infused spa products to us in their high street stores!

Revive Treatment Candle £30

The Cocoa Juvenate range was developed at their Spa in St Lucia, which has the same name as the range,  and contains all the best ingredients derived from the cocoa pods to ensure your skin is revived, hydrated and kept looking its best. The Cocoa plant has a really bright and fresh smell and each of these products carries this lovely fragrance which smells nothing like chocolate and I actually much prefer it this way as smelling like a candy bar is not my idea of  relaxation and during the warmer months this would tend to linger and induce head aches, good work HC I am loving this calming and fresh scent! The skin care range is rich in antioxidants to keep your skin looking young, minerals to promote a glow to your skin and the candle uses aromatherapy to boost your mood and keep you calm.

My favourite products are the body oil which is the perfect consistency without being overly fluid or greasy in fact it reminded me more of a dry oil when applying it to my arms, I also like the hand and body lotion because the rich and creamy formula absorbs into my skin quickly and didn't feel heavy or greasy but did leave me with a a subtle sheen and super soft skin, I also really like the hand cream which is a good size for your hand bag, desk and bedside table plus the chic yet simple packaging gives the range a really luxe vibe and who doesn't love a treat?

This range would make an amazing gift to yourself for your bath room or as a gift to anyone else includes men who have been heard to really like the range (I'm convinced the smart packaging choce was the right one), I would highly recommend trying at least one of these out next time you are near a Hotel Chocolate store and I have now added the Revive Body Oil to my wish list and I am sure I will snap this up soon especially with such a reasonable price list!
