Some use cocoa powder and cocoa butter and many use synthetic chocolate fragrances but not real chocolate. Must be difficult to do it right. Be careful with the lime juice. I've read that it's not a good idea to apply lemon juice directly to the face, because of the high acid content. Better to dilute it. I would imagine it's the same thing with lime juice. And be very gentle when scrubbing the face with sugar. The crystals can be rough and create tiny abrasions. It's a great exfoliant but don't use a lot of pressure on the face. ❤ Sarah, so glad you learned something new. Have fun with your new rose and chocolate goodies! ❤ Violetville, I've never heard of Heritage. I'll look for them the next time I head to the health food store. Hadn't thought to spray it in my hair though. Definitely going to do that now! Thanks for the tips! ❤ Mayo, thank you so much for the super nice compliment! You're so sweet. Aura Cacia makes lots of great aromatherapy bath and body products, which makes sense considering they make a full line of essential oils. Very nice line and good prices. :) ❤ Gladys, it’s pretty unusual for a company to use real chocolate.

Not only do I want to use them, I want to tell all my readers about them. I used a rose spray for years until it was discontinued. I hadn't found its equal, and am looking forward to giving the one you mentioned a try very soon. Thank you What a beautiful job you did describing these products!

It's great for freshening and hydrating skin! And of course it smells amazing. It's great for spraying on hair too after you come home from a smoky night out.

Using the real thing, at least with rose, is expensive so it's unlikely to find unless you are using a higher quality brand. But the use of chocolate is definitely catching on. Spas are using it more for treatments. It's a bit messy. But I think it's worth it, because it's so much fun!

I've never used any products with it, but my mom suggests I use sugar with lime juice on my skin as a scrub. It exfoliates the skin and leaves it feeling soft. I love eating chocolate.
