Everyone’s eyes light up when there’s chocolate on the menu in a restaurant – but have you ever thought about introducing it to your salon services?
Despite what we’ve been made to believe, chocolate treatments and therapies have a huge range of benefits. Therefore, it may pay to make an addition to your treatment menu to entice the true chocoholic.
Benefits Chocolate has been given a reputation for being the culprit of bad skin, as well as being full of calories and fat. However what a lot of people don’t know, is that Cocoa beans contain antioxidants, which help to combat ageing skin and free- radical damage.
Chocolate also contains Caffeine, which has properties that will stimulate circulation and improve blood flow, and combined with the nourishing effects we find in Cocoa butter, this could make a massage or a body wrap a great signature treatment to offer to your clients.
Treatments Choosing a chocolate treatment to provide to your clients can be a hard choice. Whether you want to offer a selection of treatments as a promotional
innocent an
package, or just one signature treatment to keep on your menu at all times, there are plenty of brands with chocolate or chocolate-inspired products on the market.
Beauty brand Cognito offer a range of chocolate treatments and products for clients to indulge in. Crafted from 100% pure Belgian Cocoa, the Cognito chocolate products are great for the skin and body.
The rich Cocoa Rose facial is packed with antioxidants and minerals that will work with all skin types to soften, nourish and moisturise the skin, as well as providing your clients with Calcium, Potassium and Magnesium without the calories.
Use massage oils, masks and scrubs from their Chocolate Gateau collection which give off scents of White Chocolate and Raspberry, Chocolate Orange Truffle and Milk Chocolate, or indulge in products from the Cupcake collection which includes Chocolate Orange, Turkish Delight and Peppermint After Dark scents, packed full with vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Beauty therapist Sarah Cogin-Smith is the brains behind the brand. Originally creating them for her own in-salon use, they became so popular with clients that she decided to start the Cognito brand. In addition, the products are handmade, natural and calorie-free!
Those little extras… Those little extras and finishing touches can really make a difference to the impression you leave on your clients; particularly if you’re tailoring a signature treatment to your salon.
Why not offer your clients a small chocolate treat or a mug of hot cocoa at the end of their treatment? It then gives them time to relax and enjoy the moment as opposed to rushing back out into reality and it could be the most perfect end to their relaxing treatment.
Plus, did you know that eating chocolate is scientifically good for you? That’s what we’re telling ourselves anyway.
Chocolate contains essential vitamins and minerals including Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium, along with chemicals that include serotonin and dopamine – proven mood- boosters. So your clients will leave feeling completely relaxed and lighter than air.
The caffeine in chocolate stimulates circulation and improves blood flow, making a massage or body wrap a great statement treatment to offer your clients.
