When it comes to body wash, the simpler, the better is usually my motto. I can’t bother with heavy fragrances or fancy textures—I don’t need ‘em! My husband, on the other hand, is a big fan of both fragrance and fancy textures. The more something is out of my body-wash comfort zone, the more likely he’ll use it… and love it.
It’s no surprise, then, that when I brought home a bottle of L’Occitane’s Almond Shower Oil a few months ago to review, it went missing mere minutes later. I later found it in the shower, on his dedicated shelf. Since then, he’s emptied it! And already asked for another bottle!
It’s probably because the oil-to-milk cleanser is a two-in-one product (and you know how men love two-in-ones…): a body wash that simultaneously moisturizes skin. That’s probably why my husband is such a big fan; it cuts out an entire step in his already minimal routine!
Of course, it feels good too: When wet, the silky elixir transforms into a lavish lather, sudsing up nicely whether that’s in hands, atop a loofah, or on a washcloth. (Husband is Team Washcloth, FWIW.) Fresh out of the shower, skin feels velvety soft and smooth. Trust me, he tells me often.
You can find the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil, along with other editor-loved products, in the November Allure Beauty Box.
