Splurge-worthy Body Products


As much as I like to treat my face with great skincare products, I also like to pamper the rest of me! There is nothing like bringing out all one's favorite body care products in a shower or bath, lighting a candle and shutting down for an hour or so. It's not always possible every night, but when it is, I relish in it. Here are 4 body products that are decadent yet worth the splurge:

1. Molton Brown Ylang-Ylang Body Polisher - My favorite body care products are by far scrubs because there is such a feeling of instant gratification - smooth skin! This is the first product I have tried from Molton Brown and felt it is not only a great item to use on oneself, but would make a great gift as well. The texture of the scrub is dense with little to no oily runoff so it is easy to keep in the hand while massaging it around. What makes this different than many other scrubs I have tried is the strong aroma that actually lingers on the skin after it rinses off. Many scrubs polish the skin, but the yummy scent fades quickly. This fragrance is strong enough that I was able to forego any perfume after which is very rare for me. But even after a few hours, I could still smell (faintly but it was there) the delicate notes of the Ylang-Ylang in this particular scrub. Hostess gift, birthday gift, just because gift - this body polisher is perfect!
2. Cle de Peau Beaute Body Cream - There is body cream, and then there is the Cle de Peau Beaute Body Cream. Holy cow - this stuff is what luxurious decadent dreams are made of. The texture feels like the smoothest whipped silk and envelopes the skin immediately. I let it set for about 2-3 minutes so that it absorbs fully, but once it does my skin feels like it has been at the spa all day. Initially I noticed how long my skin stayed hydrated, because even 24 hours later it felt as if I had just applied it. The second thing I noticed was how firm my skin looked and felt, while also seeing a significant decrease in any swelling or puffiness. I can often wake up with my lower legs/ankles/feet a bit swollen, either from what I ate the night before or from not drinking enough water, and this has made a huge difference when I apply it before going to bed. Though it is super rich, I plan on using this a ton during the summer to help keep my legs (and arms/tummy/thighs/etc) in tip top shape. I guess I could also go to the gym to help with that, but let's focus on one thing at a time, k?
3. Tata Harper Smoothing Body Scrub - Give me all the Tata Harper products! I can't get enough! Though I have come to enough a multitude of different natural skincare brands over the past year (this one and this one are two that come to mind), Tata was really the gateway brand. I began using her products (beginning with the cleansers first - this one is my all time favorite) and have slowly branched out. Her body scrub is a mixture of both sea salts and sugars which I found very unique. The texture is incredibly thick - almost like a paste with which I like to massage into my body and leave on for a few minutes. I either turn the water off or step away from the stream and apply a hair mask, shave, etc to take up the time. Once I step back under the water, the scrub rinses away easily and what's left is skin that needs neither body lotion or cream after because it feels so incredibly hydrated. The scent is pleasant and aromatic, but not overwhelming. It doesn't linger on the skin like the Molton Brown, but I find that it's great at helping soothe my skin when it feels irritated or itchy from dryness. If you are thinking of venturing into the Tata body care product range, this is the perfect one to begin with.

4. Aerin Rose de Grasse Body Wash - If you remember this post and this video, Aerin's Rose de Grasse fragrance is one of my all time favorites. The rose scent is one of the most pure and sophisticated formulations I have ever come across. Naturally, I want all the ancillary products that go with it and was thrilled to see in addition to a body wash, there is a body cream and candle to complete my full infatuation. The body wash itself is a clear gel that only gives a mild foam so as not to strip or dry out my skin, but the real winner is the scent which is the perfect base to layer with the cream or fragrance. Basically I would be happy smelling like Rose de Grasse head to toe every single day if it came down to it. That is how much I love this fragrance. And for those that are not a huge rose fan (I wasn't either before this), I encourage you to give this a second look. It could change your entire opinion of rose scents.

Body Products That Smell Amazing

I am a sucker for yummy smelling body products. Showers are a daily thing (well, for me they are...no judgement) and it might as well be an enjoyable experience, amiright? I still keep my holy grail body wash from Dove close by, but I like to experiment with different scents and textures both in the shower and when I get out. These are 6 products that smell heavenly - ranging from sweet and delectable to delicate and feminine.

1. .mark Coconut Body Oil - I already fell in love with this body butter from .mark, so I was pretty positive I would enjoy this body oil. But I should warn you that if very sweet scents are not your bag, this may not be for you. The sweeter the better for me, and this body oil is as sweet as it gets. It is a strong coconut scent that has hints of a cake batter-like note in it which can really go one way or another. Luckily, it isn't too overpowering and when on the skin smells incredibly pleasant. But the real winning feature with this body oil is how it feels on the skin. I apply it right out of the shower while my skin is still wet, and it instantly absorbs with absolutely NO RESIDUE. And at a price point of $12.00, it's a total steal! 
2. Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant - I saw this on Instagram first and nearly fell out of my office chair. I could not get my hands on it fast enough. The Fresh Beauty team kindly sent one over to me for review, and I actually opened the bag, took off all my clothes, and took a shower immediately. I was THAT excited. Yes, it smells exactly as it looks. Like a decadent batch of brownie batter made from the richest cocoa around. Only a little bit is needed to cover most of the body, but it gives a nice gentle exfoliation. The granules are quite small so I can get away with using this multiple times a week if I wanted, and my skin is never irritated. From a scent standpoint, it does not linger on the skin after the shower so I was able to use my regular body lotion on top without any problems of competing scents. The only caveat is that your shower will need a complete rinse-down after using this because there will be chocolate splatters everywhere! Ha! But trust me, it's worth the extra housework for how decadent you will feel using this.
3. The Body Shop Mango Body Scrub - Another delectable scrub that will make you yearn for a tropical vacation each time you shower. The texture is much thicker than the Fresh Cocoa and definitely gives a strong exfoliation. The scent smells like a yummy mango dessert and thankfully does not leave any oily residue in the tub as many body scrubs can do. Once you rinse it away, the scent does not stay on the skin but if you wish to continue your tropical fruit salad experience, there is the mango body butter you can add on once out of the shower.
4. The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter - Continuing on that tropical vacation theme, this Body Shop Coconut Body Butter will most certainly make you feel like putting on a bathing suit. Well, at least your sunglasses. I have heard amazing things about The Body Shop Body Butters so I was excited to finally try one for myself. They are incredibly rich and nourishing, melting into the skin with little to no rubbing. I prefer to use this at night as a moisturizing treatment before bed. After a quick relaxing shower, I apply this while my skin is slightly damp, massaging it in and then wait a few minutes before getting into my pajamas. However, I usually follow my evening shower with my skincare routine so I use those few minutes to let the body cream sink into my skin. While the scent is quite strong in the tub, it actually wears nicely when on and doesn't overpower. 
5. Aerin Beauty Rose Body Scrub - Aerin's Rose de Grasse is one of my holy grail fragrances, so I knew I would fall instantly in love with the accompanying body line. The entire line has the most delicate and feminine floral scent, so I like to save it for days that I am wearing something a bit more special. I know that sounds funny, but I take my beauty routine seriously, people! The scent lingers on the skin beautifully and I like to continue the rose experience with  this body oil and then a few spritzes of Rose de Grasse. This scrub is a bit different from others I currently have because it is in a thick cream with very fine granules so it hydrates the skin while also exfoliating. And the packaging looks so fancy. Fancy packaging always gets prime real estate in my shower, bathroom and vanity. *insert sassy girl emoji with her hand up*

6. Aerin Beauty Rose Body Wash - I can use this in conjunction with the body scrub or alone, either way it gives a nice lather and makes my skin feel incredibly clean. The texture is a traditional gel, and I like to pour it onto a washcloth or loofah to get a nice lather which feels a bit more luxurious. Like my face washes, I am not the biggest fan of foaming anything but my skin doesn't feel tight or dry after using this so this falls in my "foaming but not drying exception" category. And the scent lingers even more than the body scrub so I can go without a fragrance for the day if I want. But I love perfume too much for that.

Budget Beauty Buys for the Body

Though winter tends to be a time when my skin needs the most TLC, summer time is when I use the most products. LOL. I think it's because more is exposed and thus I feel a need to constantly be exfoliating, moisturizing, hydrating, protecting, etc. There are a ton of great budget beauty buys for the body and here are 4 that I've been testing and enjoying.
1. Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream - Would someone please explain to me why I have not yet tried this brand?!! Anyone?!! The only possible explanation is insanity, either that or I have been living under a rock all these years. Between the body products and the cleansing milk for the face, it didn't take a lot for me to get hooked. This body buttercream sounds incredibly decadent, and while it is, it's not too rich for the warm weather. It melts almost immediately on the skin and feels more like a light lotion/gel than a thick cream. Absolute heaven. And the scent is sweet with a hint of citrus. Your summer skin needs this.

2. Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - While I am not opposed to a salt scrub, I do tend to favor a sugar based one a bit more. Sugar has more healing properties and I find it makes my skin feel soft and soothed. This scrub is quite thick so it doesn't fall apart in my hands nor does it make an oily mess in the tub which is nice. It has a sweet lime scent that lingers a bit after the shower and leaves the skin with a hint of fragrance.
3. Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer in Aloe Soothe - One of my favorite body moisturizers of all time is a spray application and I have yet to try another that I like as much. Until now. This one from Vaseline delivers a lightweight lotion easily with just one spray. This mist is a little narrow so I like to spray the area and then rub it in with my hands. I think what appealed to me the most about this lotion was how cooling and relaxing it made my skin feel. My legs tend to swell a lot in the summer (despite my attempts to eat as little salt as possible) and I have found that this works wonders on them after a long day. I spray it on my calves and then proceed to massage it all over my lower legs and feet and it has done wonders in helping my legs depuff. Though it is not necessarily designed to do that, I always like to find innovative ways to use the products I test.

4. Dove Body Wash Summer Care (swatch shown above) - Just a little tidbit about me - Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Body Wash is my holy grail body wash. It has been for nearly 8+ years, and was recommended by my gynecologist believe it or not as a product that is gentle enough to use anywhere on the body without irritation. And once I tried it, I was hooked. So I was excited to give this new summer version from Dove a try especially because it had more exfoliating properties to it. As you can see from the above picture, the texture is a mix between a lotion and gel with little exfoliating beads mixed throughout. As I apply it, it melts right into the skin and leaves it feeling moisturized and refreshed. It's a nice change from my usual Dove standby and the lightweight texture is perfect for the warmer weather. Another reason why Dove has solidified a permanent spot in my shower.

Review: L'Occitane Almond Delicious Paste and Milk Concentrate

L'Occitane Almond Delicious Paste and Milk Concentrate review
My beauty "wish list" is forever growing, and this duo from L'Occitane has been on it forever. I have heard nothing but glowing reviews on the entire line and knew I had to try it. And after testing it for the past few weeks, it's clear that people are nuts (get it - almonds, nuts - I'm here all week, folks) over it for a reason. 

1. Almond Delicious Paste - My first initial thought when I saw this paste was that it was thick. Too thick to even work with and manage in my hands. Well I couldn't be more wrong. Once I got this in my shower, it warmed up and glided over the skin so easily. And that thickness which initially turned me off was exactly what made it so effective at smoothing and hydrating the skin. It's one thing to exfoliate the skin, but it's a whole other story to condition it at the same time. The thick texture really helps to envelope the skin and leave it nourished and hydrated. When paired with the milk concentrate, my skin feels like silk. Let my summer skin prep begin.

2. Almond Milk Concentrate - The most enjoyable thing about this body lotion is it's bouncy texture. I know, that sounds ridiculous - how can a thick cream be bouncy? But this one is! It has a firm but jiggly (the technical word) texture that moisturizes the driest of skins while still being lightweight. It's one of the most unique textures I've ever felt before, which makes it a pleasure to use. I've always said that beauty products are as much about the experience of using them (packaging, feel, scent, etc) as it is the results. Thankfully this manages to have both and my skin looks and feels great after only using this for a short time. I am now back from my beach vacation and this has been the only thing I want to put on my dehydrated skin. It has helped replenish all the moisture that was lost while simultaneously soothing any itchy or irritated patches that I am still struggling with at the moment. It's relief in a jar.

The Products Saving My Skin This Winter

I know I sound like a broken record, but this winter is relentless. It just keeps getting colder and more brutal out there, making the need for adequate and effective skincare stronger and stronger. Combining the weather with the fact that I sit at work with a space heater on me makes for parched and uncomfortable skin. I have been running through body products like crazy this season (I just finished this lotion from Fresh and this oil from REN which smells amazing), so I have been testing these two products out of sheer necessity, which turned into sheer enjoyment, which turned into "I have to write about these products!" That's pretty much my process. So scientific, right? I have been using both of these together and layering them for the most intense hydration I can get, and let me tell you - my skin is thanking me tenfold.
1.Kate Somerville Eczema Therapy Cream - I think the main difference between my body skincare needs in the winter versus the rest of the year is the amount of soothing and comfort the products can give to me. Dry skin can be a hassle but when it hurts or gets extremely sensitive because of such severe weather conditions, a different kind of product is needed. I do not have eczema but I felt that this cream would be the ultimate in nourishment for my skin - and it was. This cream is rich - R-I-C-H but surprisingly not in a overpowering way but more in a cocooning and comforting way that makes you feel good in your own skin again. There is no scent to this which is nice for a change, and is so powerful that I can moisturize one day, skip a day or two and still feel hydrated. This gets the award for winter MVP.

2. Ahava Dead Sea Osmoter Body Concentrate - This is the first Ahava product I have tried so I was not quite sure what to expect, and tried it out of sheer necessity for something hydrating after a particularly cold day. The texture is much like a serum, and that is how I use it. I wear it under the Kate Somerville Eczema Therapy Cream to give me that added boost and find that the two pair very well together. In addition to the hydration factor, the Body Concentrate helps improve tone and texture. I had a burn mark on my stomach from a silly clothes-steaming accident and it's stubbornly remained there for the past few months. As soon as I began using the concentrate, I slowly began to see it fade more and more until it is hardly noticeable now. The texture of my skin feels better and my regular stubborn dry patches (elbows and knees) are smoother. These two combined together have become my winter secret weapon (though secretly I hope the weather just gets better which is delusional and crazy, I know).

Two Body Products I Am Currently Loving

Project No Winter Alligator Skin is now in full effect. The radiator heat is blasting in my apartment as we speak (and it's not even that cold - rude), and I can feel my skin beginning to get drier. I recently have been using these two body products and have been loving the results. I think they are going to be just what I need to carry me into the winter season.

1. Kate Somerville Exfolikate Body - The regular Exfolikate for the face is such an intense exfoliating treatment that I was curious as to how it would translate to a body scrub. Thankfully, it takes all the elements that make Exfolikate so great, adds a bit of a creamy texture for a gorgeous exfoliating experience. The texture is granular but not as dense as Exfolikate for the face, and a little bit can go a long way. I apply this all over my body while in the shower, and then wait a minute or two so the steam can activate the enzymes and then rinse off. For me, it gives the perfect balance of a gentle yet thorough exfoliation. And the added enzyme exfoliation aids in ensuring my skin stays softer for longer than a standard body scrub. And the fact that there is no annoying oily residue left in my tub that I can slip after makes this even more of a "love" product for me.

2. Sunday Riley Juno Body Transformative Body Lipid Serum - I'm quite the fan of beauty oils - cleansing oils, face oils and body oils are all staples in my routine. However, I had heard this Juno Serum was a bit different in the way that it helps with not only hydration, but with the tone and elasticity of the skin. I've been using for a few weeks now and while the results are ever so slight, I have noticed a difference. Typically with many of my body oils, they simply feel great and keep my skin soft and smooth. While the Juno Serum does all of those things, I have noticed my skin seems more toned and taut as well which was a pleasant surprise. Another added bonus is I can get dressed quicker than my other body creams and oils because this Juno Serum soaks in amazingly fast. And in the morning, those few minutes can really make a difference! Firmer skin and a few minutes extra sleep - sold!

Adding To My Body Care Routine

90% of the time, I focus on products for the face. I don't know why but I always think of experimenting with new body products last. And then I find really great ones and realize that I am missing out by not trying more. These are two products I've recently had sent to me that I enjoyed immensely so of course I had to write about them. First Aid Beauty is not a new brand to me, but every time I try one of their products, it's as if I just discovered the brand because I am always blown away. I am not as familiar with Yes To Coconuts, but after my experience with the face wipes (see my video here), I had a sneaking suspicion this would be a body lotion worth fawning over. Annnnd, I was right. As always. *pats self on back*

1. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Wash - Anything in the Ultra Repair line from First Aid Beauty is bound to be heaven on the skin. The cult classic Ultra Repair Cream is by far one of the richest and most healing creams I own. And this body wash takes the best aspects of that cream and brings it to the shower. It's quite thick, and doesn't lather too much, but it does give a creamy, moisturizing, almost balm-like experience when washing. Those with overly dry, sensitive or irritated skin will probably be buying this in bulk - it's that good.

2. Yes to Coconuts Ultra Light Spray Body Lotion - All those too lazy to rub their lotion in, raise your hand. *raises hand* I was ecstatic when I heard this was a spray, and knew I would get more use out of it immediately. Ridiculously easy (and awesome) application aside, the formula is what really matters. Easy and fun means nothing if what's inside is awful. Luckily, this does not fall into the category and the Yes To Coconuts Body Lotion quickly became one of my most used body lotions this summer. Lightweight, easily absorbed and with a scent like coconut, what's not to love? I put mine in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before I apply and it becomes both a lotion and hydrating mist at the same time.

My Current Body Contouring Products

I have cellulite. There I said it. It's nothing to be ashamed of and I have had it almost my entire life. Even when I was a figure skater in my teens, skating 8+ hours a day, I still had cellulite. It's not something I obsess over to be honest because that would be pointless, but I am a beauty product fanatic and have been wanting to try both of these products from Clarins for quite some time. I know there are other more permanent treatments out there for cellulite such as wrap treatments, lasers or heat technology (I've been reading about this one lately), but I am not sure I want to take it to that level right now. But never say never, I do love a good beauty treatment. But back to the less permanent options, I was curious after Clarins sent these products over to see if I would truly notice any difference. Who am I to turn down an opportunity for a firmer (looking) backside??

1. Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil - This oil is ideally designed to help skin firmness and prevent stretch marks, i.e. during pregnancy. As I am not with child, the second feature was not necessarily designed for my needs, but the skin firming aspect was the initial appeal. I should first mention how to use the oil because it can be a bit confusing. I typically apply to my thighs, legs and stomach in the shower after exfoliating and/or cleansing, rub into the skin and then rinse it off with a cold shower. The very first thing I noticed after using the oil was the immediate decrease in bloating and swelling that my legs suffer from in the summer. In addition to helping with water retention, it is incredibly hydrating and nourishing to my skin. I did see a slight difference in firmness after using a few days, but that was nothing compared to when I combined it with the Body Lift Cellulite Control. That is when I really saw a difference.

2. Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Control - I will preface this review by saying that any results I had were temporary. It truly helped smooth the appearance of areas that had cellulite, but my skin went back to normal as soon as I discontinued use. But that being said, I do love this product. My skin looked smoother and tighter after just two days, and when added on top of the Tonic Body Treatment Oil - wow!! I was walking around with the thighs of a 20 yr old. Ok, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but seriously the combination of the two made a serious difference in my thighs' appearance. I probably wouldn't use this product all year round, however I can say with certainty that it will be a staple each and every summer going forward. I had heard for years that nobody does body contour products like Clarins, and you know what? "They" were right. Both of these products are amazing and now I wonder why it took me so long to try them! The more you know....

Summer Skin Prep

 photo fc5e6f43-f8f8-46fd-b033-fb9eeb80b5c0.jpg Though my skin turns into nothing short of alligator hide during the winter season, I don't take as many steps necessary to keep it hydrated as I do during the spring/summer. Probably because my arms and legs are hidden under 15,000 layers in the colder months, which can make me lazy. But all bets are off in the warmer months since limbs are exposed every day and a sundress with scaly legs or ashy elbows is never a cute look. My summer skin prep has already begun and I have a few new products I am using this year mixed with a classic staple that never leaves my shower.

1. Dove Sensitive Skin Nourishing Body Wash - Probably one of the longest relationships I've ever had is with this body wash. I actually can't remember a time when I have not used it - it's that good. Many different body washes have tried to infiltrate my shower, but none have lasted. That's because this one is gentle yet effective, unscented and incredibly nourishing on the skin. Oddly enough, this was recommended to me by my gynecologist because it was safe enough to be used anywhere on the body (even on one's lady parts - yes, I said lady parts), and would not irritate. I am not consistent with most skincare and makeup that I use because I love to try new things, but this is one product that I will never stray from. We are in it for the long haul.

2. Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Sugar Scrub* - "It's a body scrub, and it exfoliates. The end." - is what I thought I would say after using this scrub. Boy was I in for a surprise. I actually said "Wow" after my first use, and consider it one of the best scrubs I have ever used. The texture is incredibly thick, almost like honey which makes it a bit more of a challenge to rub in, but as the product is massaged in, it warms up and begins to turn into a liquid. Sugar is more healing than salt so my skin always feels nourished and soothed after. Oh, and it smells like creme brulee. YUM, now I want a cupcake. 

3. REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Oil - If the immediate absorption doesn't lure you in, then the scent will. I find that when using this I rarely need perfume, and the delicate rose scent is pleasant without being overpowering. I use this in the morning because it dries quickly and allows me to get dressed almost immediately. No residue is left and my skin feels incredible. 

4. Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Body Butter - While the REN body oil is perfect for day time, I tend to like something a bit more rich at night. I have seen this Tatcha body cream all over Instagram and I just had to try for myself. And now I know why everyone is loving it - it is pure decadence, yet extremely effective. Designed for all skin types, especially sensitive and those with eczema, rosacea or dermatitis, this helps to immediately soothe my skin, and any skin irritation is immediately calmed. This will definitely stay with me into the winter season.

5. Lancer The Method: Body Nourish* - I had a chance recently to attend a fall launch preview at Bergdorf Goodman and this one from Dr. Lancer was quite unique. It is a body cream containing glycolic acid which helps to exfoliate the skin. I use this once or twice a week in conjunction with my Laura Mercier body scrub and find that the combination of the two have helped keep my skin smoother than it has ever been. An added benefit that I found once I began using this body cream was how even toned my skin began to look especially on my arms, chest and back. While I have always loved using glycolic acid on my face, I never truly made the connection that I would have the same results if used on the rest of my body. Duh, clearly not my brightest moment. Keep your eyes peeled for fall when this launches - it is worth a try!

Beauty Bits: Body Products For Winter Skin

 photo BodyProductsforwinterskin.jpg I may be oily as can be on my face but the rest of my skin tends to be dry, flaky, pale and just plain ick. During the summer months, obviously it is not as bad because of the humidity and heat, but I still need to my skin well hydrated.  But in the winter months, my skin takes a huge push into alligator territory - dry and scaly - double ICK!  There are even some days where it hurts after a particularly cold walk home - so having products that can moisturize and hydrate immediately are of the utmost importance.   I need relief NOW.  This winter these products have been saving my poor skin already (and the cold hasn't even begun yet in NYC):

1. Kiehl's Creme de Corps Nurturing Body Wash Cream - Nothing is more luxurious than lathering up with a thick, creamy body wash as the Kiehl's Creme de Corps line has been a favorite for years.  I even put a little in my bath and soak in it to help soothe my skin when it feels extra dry.  A winter doesn't pass that I don't have it in my shower. 
2. Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub (c/o) - I exfoliate A LOT in the summer (I love a good shiny leg), but I still keep the scrubs around when the temps drop.  I typically use this once a week, and while it gives a good scrub, I love the gentle foam that develops as I am scrub-a-dubbing.  It helps to take away all that dead, dull winter skin while still helping to calm it. 
3. Kiehl's Creme de Corps Limited Edition "Grapefruit" Whipped Body Butter (c/o) - Hello, decadence.  I mean, there is the actual word 'butter' in the name - so you know this stuff is the real deal.  First of all, the original Creme de Corps Body Lotion has always been my holy grail - and is the most hydrating yet absorbent lotion of all time.  And then Kiehl's had to kick it up a notch and blow my mind with the whipped body butter.  I left the top open in the picture to tease you a bit - can you even with that texture??  And now for the holidays, they have made a limited edition Grapefruit scent, with 100% of net profits going to the Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign.  You can hydrate, have perfectly silky skin and give back.  Does it get better than that?
4. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (c/o) - As you all probably know, I am never one to run from a body or face oil - I just love them!  And this cult classic certainly lives up to the hype.  A dry oil that absorbs immediately leaving the skin soft, supple and with a healthy shine.  But don't let this one application stop you, it can be used on your hair, face (apply before foundation for a subtle glow) and a few drops in the bath for a milky emulsion in which you can soak yourself all night.
