There are certain products that you know you can recommend safely to people and that they too in turn will recommed to others. L'occitanes Almond cleansing & soothing shower oil falls into that category.

No.1 thing you notice is the fabulous smell, an almondy honey like aroma.

Like previous reviewers i am prone to dry skin and am very careful about what shower products is use as by and large I end up with itchy dry skin afterwards.

No such issues here, the product is oil based however it lathers up when it comes into contact with water so you really feel like you are giving yourself a good clean. The big difference is despite all those potentially itchy dry skin causing "soapy" suds that this product produces you end up with moisturized lovely smelling skin. Even when you cant be bothered to put on the after bath moisturizer your skin is still left beautifully soft. I dare anyone not to fall in love with this product!
