L’Occitane

L’Occitane is a company that Bev and I frequent….often!!!! L’occitane products include an array of choices from body to skin care that nourishes the skin and includes naturally derived ingredients and plant extracts. The Ultra Rich Body Cream is their best seller for a good reason…it works! The Almond Body Balm is for normal to dry skin and smells amazing! This cream is perfect for the whole body.
