Chocolate spa treatments

Your chocolate facial options include:

Karen Herzog's Co-C02 Facial/Ultimate chocolate Facial

Karen Herzog's popular anti-ageing facial combines the power of Oxygen and Swiss chocolate. After your skin is cleansed, oil is massaged into your skin to get your lymph flowing. This is followed by a heated chocolate cream face mask. This chocolate treat for your face is available at Sanook Spa at The Courthouse Hotel Kempinski in London, Le Kalon spa at The Bentley Hotel, South Kensington, and Serenity Spa at Seaham Hall in Durham, where you can also end your Karen Herzog facial with a warm chocolate drink - yum.

ChocoTherapy Facial

At The Vineyard spa you can indulge yourself with this foodie's dream of a treatment: start with a spoonful of homemade vanilla, coconut and chocolate mousse before a back massage and a chocolate and vanilla milkshake foam cleanse. An exfoliating grape must and lavender honey mask is applied (what - no chocolate?), while you nibble on honey and lavender chocolates (that's more like it). Next, "your face is caressed gently with a tiramisu serum" and an anti-ageing milk chocolate mask is applied while you scoff down a homemade orange and chocolate wafer Body treatments and wraps

A wrap is a wrap, but this one is extra specially luxurious and special. The smell of chocolate is not too potent but is just enough to make you feel warm, snug and happy. Many of these treatments feature warmed chocolate, which is nurturing and also more effective than a cold spread.

Your chocolate body treatment and chocolate body wrap options include:

Champneys chocolate Wrapper

This warm chocolate body wrap is available at all Champneys High Street Spas. It begins with a full body exfoliation, followed by the body wrap and a relaxing scalp massage while you bliss out in your warm, chocolate-scented cocoon. Champneys High Street Spas are located in Chichester, Enfield, Guildford, and St Albans.

Chocolate Rub and Wrap

Try an exfoliating brown sugar and cocoa wrap to condition the skin, followed by a relaxing warm cocoa butter massage and a cup of hot chocolate to finish.

Ishi Gourmet chocolate Body Toning Treatment

This invigorating anti-cellulite body treatment uses both plain and white chocolate. You'll be exfoliated with a lavender and honey scrub and then treated to a full body cocoa massage, followed by a mask of chocolate mousse and white chocolate cellulite cream. Sounds good enough to eat! Try it at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester.

Chocolate pedicures

Some spas offer chocolate pedicures, involving various amounts or involvement of chocolate. At the lighter end of the chocolate spectrum, a chocolate pedicure simply involves you getting to drink hot chocolate while you have your feet massaged and scrubbed, and your nails filed and polished.
