Skin care guru Dr. Perricone believes in some alarmingly strict dietary rules (think: goodbye coffee and dairy), but he still loves chocolate. He created the Perricone MD Cocoa Moisture Mask, $69, because cocoa has more antioxidants and blueberries or green tea -- and he thinks you should put those antioxidants on your face. This mask smells and feels like ultra thick chocolate pudding, and it leaves skin firm, bright and moisturized -- without breaking your diet.

Gift Set for Everyone
Aesop The Constant Gatherer Body Care Duet, $72, is the one limited edition gift set I'm buying in bulk. The geranium body wash and citrusy body balm will make any recipient happy. The packaging looks good in every bathroom. And the whimsical mushroom wrapping is so good you don't even need a bow. Holiday shopping: done.
