L’Occitane’s new firming Almond collection

MANILA, Philippines - L’Occitane harnesses the power of almond oil in a new collection featuring two care lines, available in oil or cream form.

Firming

For firmness, there’s L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate for firming and smoothing and Almond Supple Skin Oil, which firms and beautifies skin. Both enriched with Almond oil and milk — and a delicious fragrance, they nourish and soften.

The new complex of the Milk Concentrate contains tightening Walnut and Almond extracts to help protect the elasticity of the skin and stimulate cell renewal. Combined with almond proteins, it helps visibly tighten and smooth the skin.

The Supple Skin Oil, on the other hand, consists of over 50-percent almond oil rich in Omega 6, as well as silicium derivatives and muscat rose to boost elasticity. Spray sparingly.

Slimming

L’Occitane Tonic Body Oil is an ultra dry oil and a refreshing anti-cellulite routine. It contains five essential oils: Immortelle, Palmarosa, mint, carrot and cypress. All help slim the figure and visibly tone the body.

The Shaping Delight is a melting gel that defines the figure with almond and rose buds that tighten the skin. Studies show that after 28 days of use, an average of 10 women lost 2.6cm off the hips, and an average of 30 lost one centimeter.

Exfoliating

Exfoliation prepares the skin to receive active ingredients in skincare products — the process smoothens the skin and gets rid of dead skin cells, stimulates microcirculation and optimizes the effects of slimming products. L’Occitane Almond Shower Scrub is a melting gel enriched with Almond oil and crushed Almond shells to gently cleanse and exfoliate skin. L’Occitane Delicious Paste is a thick butter that melts into milk when it comes into contact with water, exfoliating skin with sugar crystals. The scrubs are best used with a masseur, which stimulates microcirculation more effectively.

Daily Care

L’Occitane Almond Smooth Hands and L’Occitane Almond Lighter Legs are light creams and cream-gels, respectively, with the refreshing scent of almond. The hand cream leaves skin velvety and moisturized, while the cream-gel for the legs is formulated with menthol and peppermint to relieve tiredness in the legs and feet. It also leaves a powdery finish and doesn’t feel sticky in the summer heat.

L’Occitane is available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source.
