Currently Loving: Almonds


The L'Occitane range have really been doing amazingly well in my good books recently! It's very rare that I love a skincare item thats based on food as well as the actual food itself, but hello almonds! L'Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil, which I raved about fully here, is definitely my favourite skin oil (and I have tried my fair few) along with the amazing smell comes a moisturising, soft oil that leaves me waking up to the most lovely skin ever. Paired together with another item in the range I love, the Almond Shower Oil, to give the dream team of achieving soft skin. The shower oil is really buttery soft but lathers really easily which is why I love it.
On to the actual food these are based on, Almonds. One of my friends, whose Mom is actually a nutritionist, would always have a little pot of almonds next to her bed to snack on. Probably because they are a really healthy snack with tons of benefits      :) . What many would describe as 'brain food', as well as boosting energy and helping aid weight loss. The most important for me is the skincare and haircare benefits, being a good source of protein almonds can aid hair and nail strength and growth as well as being heigh in antioxidants!

  2. If you're really into almond oil, you should try the Bath Relaxer from Sanctuary. It's a bath oil, very affordable (£5/150ml) and paired with the L'Occitane Shower Oil it makes your skin smooth beyond belief after a bath!
