Week 2 Advent Calendar
Another week closer to Christmas 🥰 and more self care goodies to try!
Day 8
This cleanser has a really light and milky texture that is very gentle on dry and sensitive skin. Additionally, it is fragrance free! Something I highly recommend for any skincare product. I always double cleanse so I really didn’t get to test the makeup removal claim of this product for my first impression. I would recommend this product for anyone with dry, sensitive skin that wants to whittle their routine down to a singular cleanser.
Day 9
I can’t say too much for this shampoo and conditioner set. I’m currently in the middle of other products and not too keen to change my curly hair routine while it’s working!
Day 10
One of my favorite products for winter is a body oil. I love to put them on right out of the shower to trap that moisture in.
Day 11
I’ve only had the chance to use this treatment once, but ai can’t say I noticed much from it. It has little to no scent and is a very thin - almost watery - cream texture. I’ve definitely had much more hydrating ampoules/essences/treatments.
Day 12
I am a snob when in comes to hydrated lips for sure. This could not last me the day in a dry desert winter. It is plenty thick and smooth when first applied, but doesn’t leave a lasting moisture 🤧
Day 13
L’Occitane has their almond scent on LOCK 🔒Absolutely gorgeous. I’m excites to have so many almond options for me. I highly recommend finding a good scrub for anyone with KP. Nothing has helped more than exfoliating 1-3x a week and moisturizing daily!
Day 14
Another really nice hand cream. This brand has some of the best on the market hands down. Thick, luxurious, and lasting. And a nice light scent is always nice from a hand cream.
As we embrace the holiday spirit, focusing on self-care products becomes essential. In this week's highlights, we explore various L'Occitane products that cater to different needs, especially for those with dry or sensitive skin. Day 8 features a gentle cleansing milk; perfect for removing makeup without irritating the skin. It is crucial to choose fragrance-free products that provide a soothing experience, particularly during winter when skin tends to be drier. On Day 9, even though the shampoo and conditioner set wasn't fully tested, they are designed to nourish all hair types, particularly benefiting curly hair that requires gentle handling. Those with an established curly hair routine might find it wise to evaluate how these products could fit into their regimen. As we move to Day 10, the included body oil is highlighted as an essential winter staple. Using a nourishing body oil right after a shower can significantly help in locking in moisture, promoting soft and supple skin during colder months. For Day 11, we examine a light treatment that may not seem effective at first but can be built upon with regular use. It’s essential to have products that cater to various skin needs, and exploring different textures can lead to the perfect match. Nonetheless, Day 12 brings up a popular issue many face: dry lips. In winter, lip care is vital, and while some products feel fine initially, they might not provide lasting moisture. This underlines the importance of testing various options. Day 13 focuses on L’Occitane’s luxurious almond scent, noted for its effectiveness in treating keratosis pilaris (KP) through exfoliation. Incorporating a good scrub can be a game-changer in any skincare routine. Lastly, Day 14 wraps up with a review of a high-quality hand cream, emphasizing the luxury that L'Occitane brings to daily skincare. Their products often combine functionality with delightful scents, making them a must-try for self-care enthusiasts this holiday season.
