Chocolate?

[LoftyLottie]

Don't know whether to post this in Beauty, Health and Fitness or Food and Drink!!

I have just bought myself some Palmer's Cocoa Butter body moisturiser. Lovely rich moisturiser, but I now smell constantly of chocolate and to be honest it is making me feel sick and I certainly don't fancy eating chocolate any more.

Could this be an aid to dieting?

LOL, I don't think it is an aid but it's a damn good idea!

I also find Palmers too sweet, plain old E45 is what I use and it doesn't stink :o) x

[joannie10]

I totally agree but had not thought about it being a diet aid. It made me not use it because I did not find it to be a pleasant chocolate smell more of a sickly chocolate smell like a child with grotty chocolate hands! I like the St Ives Swiss formula but also use E45

Lofty-you can buy a non- scented one now. I use it as I too found the smell over powering.

[LoftyLottie]

Ha ha, glad I'm not the only one. I shall continue with it until the bottle is empty, but can only use it at night as I refuse to go out smelling of sickly sweet cheap chocolate during the day.

As I am trying to lose weight this might well help!!

I can't use E45 Lakitu - it brings me out in a rash (as does aqueous cream). I use Diprobase but, although it's excellent, it doesn't absorb very quickly and I am too much in a rush to rub it in properly. I shall try the non-smelly Palmers next Ice Maiden as it does make my skin feel very soft.

it smells almondy to me, I have it on my arms today

I found that too Lottie, so was glad when they brought out the non-scented version. It's just as good but doesnt smell at all.

I use Palmers for stretch marks and enven now, I can't go near the stuff, makes me heave! I now use St Ives or Dove, as it sinks in a smells neutral x

[LoftyLottie]

I was going to use it this morning, but quite seriously I really can't live with that smell and it doesn't seem to fade. I would think it would also make me a target for wasps and mozzies!!, being so sickly sweet. Perhaps I will use it instead of butter and bake a cake for Mr LL!!! ;o)

Almonds 4get??!!! I can't say I have noticed any almond smell at all. It just smells like the local chocolate factory shop!!

I suppose its like those vanilla patches you could wear and sniff to make you not want chocolate!!

So lottie you are a big walking anti chocolate patch now!

[LoftyLottie]

LOL Sally.

I am really surprised they manage to sell the stuff at all.

Palmers, but doesn't smell of chocolate! I really like this one. Although when I bought it from Superdrug it was in a green bottle.
