L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil

If you're anything like me, you'll want to look your best but with minimum effort. Sometimes you just don't have time to apply all the lotions and potions that keep your skin looking great and inevitably it suffers. L'Occitane Almond Oil is the perfect product for busy lives because if you use this when showering you don't need to apply moisturizer directly after.

Depending on what shower products you usually use, you may find that you get a drying sensation on your skin. It may be a great cleansing product that you're using but is it mositurizing? If you find that you always need to use a moisturizer after showering the answer is probably no.

With L'Occitane Almond Oil, you can moisturize after using it if you want to, but you don't have to, it's incredibly moisturizing by itself. It also happens to be a great cleansing product too.

When you use this in the shower it will start off as an oil but as you lather it on your skin it turns into a rich creamy lotion. You don't need to use much and it's perfect for shaving your legs with! The oil has a very light and delicate almond smell which lasts way after you've dried off.

Whether you have all the time in the world to spend on your skin or if you're a busy bee who needs results fast, L'Occitane Almond Oil is a great addition to your daily beauty routine. It's luxurious skin care that will give great results but won't break the bank.

Body Brushing

Body brushing is a must for neglected or Winter skin. There's no point applying moisturizers to dead skin because it needs to be removed in order to moisturize the new healthier layers underneath. Any moisturizers used on dead skin are just going to waste.

Body brushing is a great way to get rid of dead skin, it's also great for getting your circulation going. You need to use long sweeping strokes of the brush going from your feet upwards and your hands inwards towards your heart. This will really get the blood flowing as well as removing any layers of skin that are no longer healthy.

You'll see a difference the first time you body brush, after a week of doing it daily, your skin will be glowing with health.

Always use on dry skin and never brush too hard. This body brush is designed to do the hard work for you, just use gentle strokes and the first few times depending on how dry your skin is, you might see white powder in the air, that's all the dead skin cells being removed. Pretty yucky when you think that's been on your body!

After brushing use a moisturizer (coconut oil is amazing and inexpensive!) and your skin will drink it in. Body brushing is an essential part of any beauty routine if you want to have the best body skin possible.

Coconut Oil For Skin and Hair

It's always lovely to find products that work and even better if they're natural ones. Coconut oil is not only great for healthy cooking, it's amazing when used on skin and hair. This blogger has very dry skin that takes a lot of looking after to keep it in tip top condition, coconut oil has made my beauty regime a lot easier!

It's lovely to apply and though an oil, it doesn't sit on the surface of the skin, it gets absorbed very quickly, so if you're using it before getting dressed and going out you don't have to wait around until it soaks in. I use coconut oil on my face as well as my body, it's so lightweight and it feels very comforting when applied.

I would recommend using it on the face in the evening as make up won't last very long if applied straight after using it. It's an excellent nightly treatment that gives you super soft and smooth skin in the morning.

If you have dry or lifeless hair, this is a really inexpensive treatment that will transform it. Apply to dry hair and leave overnight if possible, it soaks in quickly so no worries about a greasy pillow! Even if you only have a few hours spare to have coconut oil on your hair, it'll still make a big difference. It gives an amazing moisture boost that I've previously only experienced with very high end, expensive treatments. I wouldn't use anything else now I've discovered this.

If you're looking for a skin or hair treatment that doesn't break the bank and actually works, try coconut oil, it's an absolute must for any bathroom cabinet.
