It's always a pleasure to take time out to give our skin a good going over. The more natural the ingredients, the more of our senses get filled and the greater our sense of well being.
L'Occitane Almond Apple Sweet Peel strokes the senses with some familiar home spa ingredients. The market buzz is about the simplicity of this product.
The first impression is that you are going to smell like an apple pie with almond ice cream topping, but this isn't the almond and apple here. Apple cider vinegar is the mild astringent used with almond shells as the scrubbing portion. Very basic, very homey. Rosemary supports the apple cider vinegar as a mild stimulant and glycerin is added to soften newly revealed skin as older skin is sloughed off through scrubbing. This is not only a time saver but a great way to boost your skin during the cooler months that are easing their way to our doorsteps.
Most of the buzz among the beauty market discussion “pod” has been wrapped around the different ways a home made version of this scrub gets altered to include different oils - like almond oil, coconut oil, or olive oil – and even the addition of essential oils. It is a tried and true scrub that can be approximated with turbinado sugar instead of almond shells...the sky's the limit! My little hoodlum, beauty market friends all got hooked on making their scrubs after trying out manufacturer's versions. You should see all the jars.
If you are ready to try this version of a home brewed skincare system L'Occitane Almond Apple Sweet Peel is a good way to introduce yourself to this sort of scrub, before you start blending your own!
