An Apple A Day…


Keeps a whole lot at bay, that is for sure, especially when it’s gone a bit nuts! L’Occitane will be introducing the newest member to its age defying skincare team from July 1, 2007 with the new Almond & Apple Harvest Launch. Well over two years ago L’Occitane harnessed the ultra nourishing properties of Almond in its luxe body care range, but has now upped the ante even more by joining the forces of almond protein with the antioxidant rich, smoothing, tightening and protective assets of organic apple extract from Provence. Apple more than capably fights against slackening of the skin and loss of elasticity all the while protecting against environmental aggressions and hormonal factors that can lead to premature aging. Beauty Marked!® had the pleasure of experiencing this super potent dynamic duo at work in the Almond & Apple Cleansing Oil and the Almond & Apple Velvet Concentrate.

The Almond & Apple Cleansing Oil gently removed my makeup and the day’s impurities and left my skin feeling all the better for it. The light cleansing oil turned to the most gorgeously textured milk when in contact with water. After cleansing, my skin was clean, supple and hydrated. Next, I applied the Almond & Apple Velvet Concentrate to moisturize. The Almond & Apple Velvet Concentrate has a soft fondant texture and is, most certainly, suitable for all skin types as it is not heavy or so very fluid to be only of use to specific skin types. The Concentrate contains Almond proteins, Sillicum, and coriander essential oil which are responsible for improving the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and smoothing fine lines. The organic apple extract stimulates natural exfoliation because of the fruit acids it contains and refines the skin’s texture. The last major player in the Almond & Apple Velvet Concentrate is organic apple cider vinegar, which acts as a natural astringent on the pores. My skin certainly felt nourished and protected and had a lovely smooth texture after applying. I must say, I do adore the ever so light scent of both products too. The natural fragrance is wonderfully fresh and crisp.

I will look forward to meeting the Almond & Apple Sweet Peel and Almond & Apple Toning Cider, which are also part of the new Almond & Apple Harvest range. Do be sure to visit a L’Occitane boutique near you or online for the Almond & Apple Harvest range and much more from July 1.
