I am not one of those girls who freaks out at the thought of putting oil near my skin in fear of a breakout. Those girls sort of remind me of the ones that see a 3 pound weight and get all worried that if they lift it more than once they will bulk up. Both oil and weight training are really quite good for you. But, since I am a beauty buff and not a fitness one- I will focus on the former. Specifically, today I am all about L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil. The love of my life- well, for the four minutes I spend in the shower every morning anyway.
Especially in the winter, this is the most perfect way to wash. The formula lathers up into a creamy froth on the skin, so you still get that “soap” sensation. It makes the entire shower smell like the most delicious Almond Cookie ever baked, and when you step out, your entire body feels super soft and conditioned. You really don’t even need to apply lotion- which is a big plus when it is as cold as it is now in NYC and all you want to do is bundle up in a plush robe to insulate you from your sub-zero apartment.
I shared this find with Rachael Ray when I was on her show in December and she went nuts over it- as has everyone else who I have sampled it to. For me to use a product to the last drop and run out to get another one the next day is rare. So the fact that the second I ran out this I started frenetically searching for a fresh bottle just goes to show- this stuff is good.
