Face It… With Heaven at Home Skincare

New for winter & spring – Perle Noire’s selection of irresistible, high quality skincare products brought to you from the Heaven at Home range will give you professional-level facials in a pot – at home.

Maintaining a good facial skincare regime through the onslaught of winter is really important. Why? Cold weather and central heating can dry delicate facial skin out, reducing nutrients from the skin meaning that you may need to moisturise more or use heavier products than in the warmer months.

Melt Me is a palatial facial in a pot! Gently melt away the day with this luxurious cleansing balm which removes all traces of make-up with rose, geranium and chamomile and mandarin essential oils.

Remember the tooth fairy? Youth Fairy is a night treatment oil visits your skin while you sleep. Massage a small amount into freshly cleansed face and neck area and you’ll benefit from rose hip seed oil, rose, geranium and lavender essential oils to moisturise and soothe your skin.

And for day wear? Nourish your face with Gorgeous - it smells gorgeous, you'll look gorgeous and it is gorgeous! This daily moisturiser contains essential oil of rose, geranium and chamomile. Apply to face and neck area after cleansing and misting.

In Need of Some Sweet Indulgence This Winter?

As a proud member of ‘Chocoholics Anonymous’, I know my annual new year’s resolution to consume less chocolate will be broken even before the new year has truly gotten underway. I won’t be reforming any time soon…

My love affair with chocolate is as much about its taste as its smell and the way that it makes my skin feel - I love to slather on chocolatey products onto my skin and hair, put chocolate-scented products into my bath and generally, just wallow in it. There’s something quite comforting and decadent about it.

The colder winter months are perfect to experience chocolate products’ warming and sensual fragrances. Why not beat the January blues while nourishing your skin with fantastic Carol’s Daughter Cocoa Butter Body Soufflé Chocolate and Funk Bubble’s Chocolate Bath Bombs - these sinfully delightful products won’t pile on the calories!

What better way to experience really top-notch luxurious chocolate than to visit Hotel Chocolat online, one of the UK’s only chocolatiers to grow cocoa used in their chocolate on their own plantation in the Caribbean, which guarantees the chocolates’ purity and authenticity. If you’re in need of a bit of sweet indulgence alongside your normal pampering routine, you’ll find a chocolate paradise at Hotel Chocolat with lots and lots to choose from. Real chocolate that tastes pure and rich that is delivered right to your door. Go on… treat yourself… The Hotel Chocolat experience is worth every single bite… Click on the link above.

Time to ‘Spring Clean’ Your Pampering Regime?

Temperamental fresh weather, bright sunshine and a pep in your step signals that spring is officially here! It’s that time of year to spruce up your environment, clean out those cupboards, send old clothes to the charity shop and rejuvenate mind, body and spirit…

If you’re in need of giving your pampering regime a ‘spring clean’ one of the first things you can do to make an immediate difference is to introduce a completely different scent into your home environment.

If you tend to use the same home fragrances such as room sprays, candles and pot pourri, you may be suffering with fragrance fatigue (when your sense of smell is overly exposed to the same scent/s so that in time you stop noticing your favourite smells), so now is the time tointroduce a change.

On our website you will see some of the best scented products on the market, including candles and pot pourri for your home.

Perle Noire favourites for May include:

  • Geodesis Vanilla – a luxurious candle, vanilla purists will fall in love with one of the richest, clearest and truest vanilla fragrances in a candle on the market with pure vanilla essence. Geodesis Vanilla creates a welcome atmosphere in any room
  • Accent Your Life Jasmine - jasmine is one of the freshest floral fragrances that signals the onset of Spring and brighten up your home
  • Lily Flame Citrus Crush – a citrus burst that truly puts that Zing in your step!

Perle Noire Advice: ALWAYS take care when burning candles. NEVER leave candles unattended and place them in/on protective holders or mats on surfaces. But importantly, enjoy the experience of creating your own sensory environment through scent when burning your candles.
