L’Occitane ‘Hand Indulgences’ Hand Cream Set (Nordstrom Exclusive) ($30 Value)

This Christmas, check out L’Occitane’s Limited Edition Hand Indulgences Hand Cream Set! The set includes three beautifully scented hand creams, perfect for winter!

I collect hand cream like a mad woman during the winter. My hands get so dry, it’s not even funny. I have bottles all over my house and car! One thing I love about L’Occitane’s lotions is how well they ABSORB. If I get a hand lotion that doesn’t absorb, it goes in the garbage. I need a lotion to do it’s business, then be absorb into my skin. These lotions are perfect in that sense. They feel amazing, and in this set of three – you won’t need to buy any more for a long time!!

Hands are the most hardworking tool we have and deserve protection and luxury. Discover the limited edition Rose Petals and Mango Flower Hand Creams as well as L’Occitane’s best-selling Shea Butter Hand Cream (1 oz. each). The irresistible formulas will leave your hands moisturized and protected with a fresh and delicate scent.

During the Middle Ages in France, Angelica was used for its excellent medical properties and as a herb. It was recommended for the overworked or convalescing. Angelica essential oil has hydrating and toning properties, which also helps to restore and preserve beauty.

Some Provençal locals still embrace Angelica’s healing properties today, by brewing its root as a tea or chewing on it.

L’Occitane has launched a new line of Angelica’s products, and I’m happy to admit I’ve tried one of them. I’ve been using the Hydration Mask for a couple weeks now, and I’m LOVING the results. I know my skin feels different immediately after rinsing the mask off. It only takes 3 minutes – and who doesn’t have three minutes!

The Angelica Instant Hydration Mask is an ultra fresh and rinse-free gel that rehydrates the thirstiest skin in just three minutes.

Quench your skin with this unique complex of organic angelica essential oil and angelica water, for a natural hydration boost.For fresh, plump and radiant skin.

The NEW Angelica products range will include:
· Instant Hydration Mask ($35): Enriched with hyaluronic acid, pure water and angelica water, this perfect hydrating solution reveals smooth, radiant skin in just three minutes.
· Exfoliating Gel ($30): Tiny microbeads work to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate skin for a naturally youthful, wide-awake glow.

This Friday, April 27th, L’OCCITANE will be hosting the inaugural Fundraising Walk for the L’OCCITANE Foundation. With the goal of raising funds for the economic emancipation of women in Burkina Faso, L’OCCITANE’s team will join together for a 3.5 mile journey through Manhattan on April 27th, 2012.

Energized by L’OCCITANE’s philanthropic tradition and longstanding commitment to social responsibility, over 150 L’OCCITANE employees will fundraise throughout April with the goal of building a grain mill in Burkina Faso. The addition of this mill will alleviate the daily 10-mile walk made by women in Burkina Faso to feed themselves and their families. To raise awareness for this cause, the walk will kickoff at the 86th Street Heritage L’OCCITANE Boutique where participants will don bright yellow t-shirts and give out hand creams as they stride down 5th Avenue, ending with a celebration at the Flatiron Flagship. L’OCCITANE’s continued support of the Foundation has totaled 5 million dollars over the last 5 years!

For those of us not in the NYC area you can still help support this great cause! Snag your favorite L’Occitane products online with the code FOUNDATION from April 20th – April 30th and 15% of their purchase will help build the grain mill in Burkina Faso.
