L'Occitane Almond Refining Concentrate

L'Occitane is one of my absolute favourite brands and within their extensive range of products is the Almond Collection which I just adore.  For someone who hates everything Marzipan related, I cannot get enough of the Almond range and today I am sharing some of them with you.

Pressed Almond extract is a new active ingredient patented by L'Occitane and it has been placed at the heart of their brand new product -  Refining Concentrate (£45 for 200ml).  Using Almond Oil, pressed almond extract and caffeine, together they are expertly blended to create an incredible indulgent cream which is just a delight to use.  

On the skin it is silky soft and absorbs quickly leaving behind no hint or trace it was ever there, it isn't sticky or tacky and the only giveaway is just the scent of almonds.

The Almond Shower Gel is my absolute favourite shower gel, I go through bottles of this stuff. A winner of multiple beauty awards across the globe, this oil isn't quite like any oil I have ever used. When it comes into contact with water it turns from an oil into a lavish milky foam.

I cannot tell you how much I adore this shower oil. Not only does my skin just drinks it up. 

Enriched with Almond Oil, it gently respects the skin's natural hydrolipidic film (to you and I, the hydrolipidic film is a protective film that covers the entire surface of the skin. Composed mainly of sweat, sebum and water and its main function is to defend the skin against bacteria, acting as an external protective barrier) and leaves behind a subtle but fresh almond blossom scent which lingers on the skin for hours after using.

Almond Delicious Hands Hand Cream - I am hand cream obsessed and get through a fair number of tubes. L'Occitane have an incredible range of hand creams and right now my hands, which are dry, cracked, peeling and just gross need a whole lot of love. 

This cream is enriched with both almond milk and almond oil to make a really silky-smooth cream which helps to nourish and soften the hands while enveloping them with the subtle and mouth-watering scent of fresh almonds.

Finally we have the Almond Delicious paste which was voted best luxury scrub in 2014 and I can see why, this paste is just simply incredible. 

Using a delicious blend of almond butter and almond oil which is infused with crushed almond shells and sugar crystals, this Delicious Paste works so effectively on the skin by not only eliminating dead cells and refining its texture but in leaving my skin so soft and smooth to the touch and delicately fragranced with the crunchy notes of fresh almond.
