We test healthy chocolate options from the Coconut Collaborative’s Little Choc Pots to Doisy & Dam bars and facial cleansers

FRIDAY is World Chocolate Day.

Hurrah! It isn’t something you would normally relate to health but a study this week showed that a moderate chocolate intake could have huge benefits for your heart.

But don’t go mad – they recommend two to six servings per week.

Today I look at healthy chocolate and test facial cleansers.

Coconut

Imagine the most indulgent, rich chocolate-and- cream pudding without the guilt.

Well, the Coconut Collaborative has cracked it. Its Little Choc Pots (£2.50 for four) are dairy and gluten-free, also vegan.

They are packed with vitamins and minerals and contain only 105 calories.

Superfoods

7

Every bar of Doisy and Dam chocolate (£1.75 for 40g) has a maximum of eight ingredients, a minimum eight per cent superfoods and a high cocoa content, keeping it as sugar and fat-free as possible.

It’s amazing. I wasn’t a huge fan of chocolate until I tried this.

I loved the vegan goji & orange bar. Delicious.

Protein

7

If you’re a gym bunny with a sweet tooth, these protein balls (£14.49 for ten) are great.

Made from soy protein isolate, they look like Malteasers but are smaller and crunchier.

There is 15g of protein per pack, which will help to maintain muscle mass.

I liked the fact they weren’t too sickly.

Luxury – Gatineau Gentle Silk Toner

£20.50 for 200ml,

7

A soothing, alcohol-free solution which claims to rebalance the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed.

I wasn’t keen on the smell of this one – it was far too floral for me – but it did take away make-up residue.

It had a slight tingling effect, too.

MID-RANGE – Dead Sea Spa Magik Pro-Toner

£13.95 for 260ml,

7

Hydrating and refreshing. Leaves skin invigorated, soothed and revitalised.

It has a light, fresh scent, which I loved. My face didn’t feel tight after use, just clean and plumped up.

For once I didn’t feel as though I had to immediately put on moisturiser. My favourite.

BUDGET – Garnier SkinActive Naturals Aloe Toner

£3.49 for 200ml, Boots

7

Garnier has just launched a new range of products that lists the natural origin of all ingredients so you can clearly see what you’re putting on your skin – great for allergy sufferers.

This had a light, pleasant smell but left my skin feeling tight.
