If you are totally thrown by what advent calendars to buy into this year, if advent calendars are indeed your kind of thing at all, I don't blame you. The Beauty Calendar market has once again exploded along with many other brands because you can basically get one for anything nowadays - Nail Polish, Lipsticks, Candles, Cheese, Gin and so on .... but not all worth the splurge as it is so easy to get wrapped up in the whole gimmick of it all. There are a few amazing beauty ones that I would have loved to have featured here but to be honest, there is so much information out there already. So I thought, why not bring you something a little more sophisticated that is totally worth the buy and one you may not have heard of before yet ultimately want?
What if I told you there was a more traditional advent calendar, that was guilt free and proven to improve your skin health? i.e. Anti-Ageing Chocolate. Yep, you heard it, this actually exists.
Gone are the days of feeling guilty enjoying what is actually a festive tradition. A revolutionary youth boosting 'smart chocolate' called Estechoc, have launched a Limited Edition Beauty Calendar that is clinically proven to improve skin health. I shall repeat ... 'clinically proven anti-ageing chocolate' ..... chocolate that makes your skin better?? Praise the lord, amen, there is a god.

After 10 years of research, Esthechoc was developed by Scientists at Cambridge, UK, Chocolate Technologies as the worlds first chocolate to protect against oxidative damage. WOW!!!!! (Any jobs going?!)

How we all ask? This 'magic' chocolate as I shall call it, contains highly concentrated natural ingredients such as Antioxidants, Polyphenols and Astaxanthin. These all provide protection, reduce inflammation, boost microcirculation and maintain healthy oxygen levels to the skin, which all results in healthy skin.
Ingredients: Chocolate 99.94% (cocoa mass, sugar, fat-reduced cocoa powder, cocoa butter, emulsifier - lecithins (from soybeans), natural vanilla flavouring, Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis algae, stabiliser- tocopherol-rich extract. Cocoa mass minimum: 72%. May contain traces of nuts, milk and soy.
One small 7.5g bar (38cal) has been proven apparently to reduce oxidative damage to the skin by 72%, a very high statistic!

I was kindly sent over The Beauty Advent Calendar from Estechoc which offers a 24 day supply of mini-chocolate bars that provide the full benefits of the nutraceutical youth boosting chocolate. It is vegan and 100% natural.
The Beauty Advent retails for £60 from Harrods [here] so it isn't cheap by far, but health supplements never are as this is like investing in a luxury skincare product, not a Mars bar. You can however buy the chocolate bars in a normal box also (see end of post for links!).
With 24 days to open, come Christmas day the aim is that of having glowing skin ready for all those selfies and family pictures plus all guilt free ... ready to indulge over the Christmas period! Now that sounds like a great plan to me.

The chocolate bars taste so good, in fact just like normal dark chocolate so if you love dark then you shall love Esthechoc but all you milk lovers out there that really dislike dark chocolate may not be fan as we all know that it is an acquired taste but a lot more popular today seeing as it is the better health option, hence the dark chocolate market has taken off massively! The only difference is that these bars look lot redder in colour which I guess is all those lovely skin ingredients, but taste just the same as plain dark chocolate.
Susan Harrow, author and leading media coach apparently quoted Esthechoc as being her no1 tip to prepare her skin before a tv appearance because it's anti-aging with zero effort as you get the glow from inside out plus it makes a good snack! What more could we ask for really?

This is so unique as I have never heard of or seen anything quite like this before and in a world going crazy over advent calendars, it's nice to see something different and if it works as well as they say, could be a game changer for the whole beauty world!

Eat chocolate - get good skin. Now we just need the 'eat cake and drink wine - get skinny' version .... and life would be complete!
This is a grown up, high end, worth the investment advent buy as there is nothing not to like here and I am 100% sold on the brand as you can't argue science now can you? What a great way to try this for yourself in a festive gift, with high tech science, skin health and pure indulgence all rolled into one!
I shall keep you updated to how I get on after eating all my bars as I have been away a lot recently, so I wanted to make sure that I did the daily dose properly so I will stick to the advent days - minus a few for review taste test purposes of course, or why not join me and try it too! After reading all the impressive reviews on the Esthechoc website, I have high hopes as the results people have achieved after 3 weeks are incredible .... go read them [here!].
