Ah, December. For those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere, the winds are blowing, the snow is falling, and the cold is biting. This is about the time of year when I find myself scratching my arms and legs incessantly, in an endless battle against itchy, flaky, dry skin. I've tried everything to stay moisturized in the colder months, but it seems that the dry skin just wants to plague me no matter what I do. I have been asking Santa to bring me something to fix this for years, but he never does. Apparently, whatever Mrs. Claus uses up there at the North Pole, she's not sharin'.

But this year I found something good without the help of Kris Kringle. L'Occitane Amande Shower Oil is packed with almond oil, smells wonderful, and transforms into a low lather in the shower. This is the only product I've tried that keeps my skin soft despite the harsh weather. (It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily, either. Promise). I was almost afraid to share this discovery lest you all go buy it and deplete the stock! I need to order a case!

So unless you're still hoping to get satiny-smooth skin under the tree this year, go and treat yourself to this gorgeous shower oil from L'Occitane. White flakes belong on snowmen, not your arms and legs!
