Cocoa, sugar and rum might not do wonders for your waistline, but downtown eco-luxury destination The Herbarium insists that these indulgent ingredients have skin-rejuvenating properties worth treating yourself to. Slather yourself in L’Erbolario’s Dolcelsir body cream, a luscious concoction of chocolate, cane sugar, rum, sweet almond and sesame oils and elderberry flowers—your skin will thank you for ordering dessert. Antioxidant-rich cioccolato replenishes moisture, improves skin tone and prevents aging; studies show that alongside sunscreen, cocoa enhances UV protection—a lifesaver in the skin-frying Florida sun. An infusion of vitamin-laden elderberry flowers provide a healthy dose of antioxidants; the oil duo of sweet almond and sesame prevents sagging and boosts elasticity; sugar attracts and bathes your skin in moisture from the environment. A shot of rum amps up the blend’s heavenly Kahluà-spiked, marshmallow-thick, hot-cocoa scent—not to mention acts as an antibacterial, inflammation-reducing agent.
