French-y



So L'Occitane's always looked very pretty and smelt very rosy - but all those frills and borders and curly letters never really spoke 'serious about skincare' to me. Until a new clean looking range came into the office before Christmas (going way back now) and I gave it a shot. Above is their Ultra Comforting Cream which I have been using all winter. I almost haven't noticed that I am using it which I think is praise indeed on a combination skin. I'm, like, totally balanced. It seems to have protected me from all the evils winter weather can bring, hibernating my epidermis without smothering it in oil. Now the pump yields cream no more, it's spring time and I'm thinking I need something even lighter for summer.

I find myself turning back to L'Occitane. Now my skin needs cosseting no longer and so I am wondering whether this red rice might purify me a little and tighten my pores a lot. Payday tomorrow so I'll give it a go - watch this space.
