TikTok and teens love a trend, but what we love is being years ahead of a trend. Swapping body wash for cleansing oils has become popular, especially as the “everything shower” continues to be one of the few things keeping us sane in 2024. People often turn to facial cleansing oils to clarify skin and dissolve impurities at the end of the day, and it’s time our body got the same love. Shower oils leave skin smooth and silky, whereas basic washes may strip skin, leaving it feeling tight and dry. Since we’ve sold you on shower oils, we’ll tell you all about our favorite one, L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil, a cult classic, from the beloved French pharmacy icon.
Benefits:
Yes, this shower oil cleanses skin, leaving no trace of residue. And yes, it also leaves skin feeling like silk, but let’s talk about the scent. If you’ve ever wanted to smell like a toasty little almond croissant fresh from a bakery in Paris, this is your chance. I like my scents to linger post-bathing for a bit—a little proof of shower can’t hurt. Plus, this scent is also super fun to layer with various perfumes.
This continuous best-seller transforms before your eyes from a luxe oil to a milky lather, providing a top-notch sensorial experience to level up your everything shower or even make a quick rinse a bit more indulgent. It’s worth noting it can also be used as a bath soak, so you can dunk yourself into a frothy almond milk latte and emerge silky and scented.
We’ll never tell you not to moisturize after the shower, but since this product is infused with sweet almond oil, you’ll notice your skin is soft and smooth post-wash without any additional product. Over 80 percent of users agree their skin immediately felt more comfortable after using this shower oil, and what’s better than feeling comfortable in your skin?
