Perfect for…Caramel lovers
If your skin is looking more white chocolate than milk chocolate, Italian suncare product [comfort zone] should do the job. This anti-ageing self-tanning formula for the face and body gives the skin a lightened golden tone building up a gradual tan within a few hours. The self-tanning cream can be applied day after day to achieve the colour desired. www.comfortzone.it



Perfect for…Cocoa lovers
With an intense aroma, Chocoscrub is the ultimate chocolate indulgence. This rich chocolate textured body exfoliator is based on real cocoa particles that eliminate dead cells for smooth, sleek skin. Thanks to its concentration of caffeine and other derivatives of cocoa, Chocoscrub is the ideal exfoliant before a cellulite treatment.

Gently massage Chocoscrub into the skin once a week, breathe deeply and relax. Germaine De Capuccini Chocoscrub is £26 for 250ml.
