L’Occitane En Provence Christmas Gifting

 

I know we are still in Autumn however, Christmas will soon be on us, and as a single parent I’ve always had to be super organised before the big day. If I tell you that I have wrapped most of the kids stocking presents then, believe it - as I have. 

This year for my reviews I’m starting off with one of my favourite brands for Christmas gifting - L’Occitane En Provence. Everything from the packaging to the superb deals to be had make this my go to when gifting for friends and family. 

This year the packaging has reverted to the  flagship ‘yellow and gold’ packaging that everyone associates with L’Occitane - it’s simple, classy but has that luxury feel with the gold embossed pattern, that make even the boxes a keepsake. 

Almond Oil Body Care Gift Set RRP £45

Beautifully presented, L’Occitane’s Almond Oil collection is a gift that any gender, age would love to receive. 

Wrapped up in an abundance of their signature yellow tissue paper, the recipient will receive a full size 250ml in both Almond Shower Oil and their best selling Almond Supple Skin Oil. 

Both products are ideal for those who have dry skin, dehydrated skin and who need some extra pampering. The Shower Oil is award winning for a reason, it’s unique concept of enriching the skin first with Sweet Almond Oil, which on contact with water turns into a softening milky base, leaves skin hydrated and nourished.

Ingredients include:-

• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil - high in Vitamin E, excellent for scarring, helps combat signs of aging, improves acne and skin elasticity. 
• Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil - smoothes and nourishes dry skin types. It also contains vitamins A, E and D. 
• Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil - antibacterial and antiseptic, helps combat breakouts and acne, as well as reducing inflammation. 
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - anti-inflammatory owing to large properties of omega-6 fatty acids, which help smooth the skin. 
• Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract - helps prevent flaky, rough skin. 

The Supple Skin Oil has similar ingredients and also contains Squalene, a lipid produced naturally in the body. It helps protect dry skin, leaving it baby soft. 

Fresh Hand Cream Trio RRP £30

Featuring 3 of L’Occitane’s best selling hand creams in travel 30ml size, in Shea Butter, Almond Delicious and Verbena Cooling. Each one brings its own benefits with ingredients that help nourish dry, rough hands. 

Ideal for anyone who likes gardening, exposes their hands to environmental factors such as wind, water, chemicals etc.  Not only do they soften rough hands, but also nourish brittle nails and cuticles. Both the Shea and Almond are ideal for hairdressers, nurses and protect the hands from these environmental elements.
