First Look at L’Occitane’s Almond Shimmering Body Oil

I’m picky when it comes to body oils; most are either too thick and greasy, leaving behind a sticky residue that doesn’t absorb into the skin, or they’re too light and don’t provide enough hydration.

It’s been tough finding a perfect balance, but L’Occitane’s new Almond Shimmering Body Oil promises just that. It has a lightweight formula that hydrates, nourishes, and leaves behind a subtle, sparkly finish. But is it worth splurging on for your body care collection? Let’s find out.

What is L’Occitane’s Almond Shimmering Body Oil?

L’Occitane’s Almond Shimmering Body Oil is a silky, lightweight body oil designed to hydrate and beautify the skin. Infused with sweet almond oil sourced from Provence and Mediterranean basin, this luxurious body oil nourishes your skin with fatty acids and omega-3s.

The formula absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving behind a non-greasy finish and the signature scent of sweet almonds. It’s perfect for anyone looking for that radiant, healthy-glowing skin with some sparkle, whether for a day out in the sun or a special evening out.

My Thoughts

I’m always impressed by L’Occitane’s packaging. The glass bottle feels luxurious and the pump dispenser delivers just the right amount of product (roughly the size of a quarter). You can control the amount of oil with ease, including the option to do half-pumps if you don’t need too much.

At first glance, the oil looks a bit watery and runny, but it’s the perfect consistency once it’s applied to the skin. It absorbs instantly and you get all the hydration without a sticky or greasy residue.

Rather than using this all over my body, I prefer applying it on my chest, arms and legs. It gives your skin a healthy glow, making it ideal for wearing with low necklines or sleeveless dresses. The shimmer is quite subtle, so you don’t have to worry about glittery or chunky sparkles.

As for the scent, it’s the signature L’Occitane almond fragrance: clean, sweet, and slightly gourmand. The fragrance lasts all day, so if you’re sensitive to smells, I’d suggest trying it in-store before committing.

Overall, I think this is a great product for any season. While the golden sparkles make it fantastic for summer, the moisture it provides would make it ideal for those dry winter months too, making it a product that transcends the seasons.

If you’re in the market for a new body care product to elevate your routine this summer (or any time of the year), I’d highly recommend L’Occitane’s Almond Shimmering Body Oil. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or just want to treat yourself on a regular day, it’s a luxurious addition for those who want a little extra sparkle in their life. Do you use a body oil? If so, I’d love to know which one.
