Review: L’OCCITANE Almond Body Care - Redefine Your Curves

Time flies half of the year is gone so what happened to our 2014 resolutions? Did you managed to achieve something, did you managed to strike off some. Every year I think most of us including me will put this in our resolution list “I want to lose weight, I want to have body measurement of 36” 24” 36”, I want to look good in bikini” and blah blah blah! If you have not achieved that yet perhaps it’s time to work out and don’t be lazy anymore. Well, perhaps some of the L’OCCITANE Almond Body Care can help us to redefine our curves.


I attended the Get Fit & Get Svelte – Redefine Your Curves with L’OCCITANE Almond Body Care Collection. As you know one of my super love L’OCCITANE product is the Almond Shower Oil, omg I feel like going to take a warm shower now. 

Almond is not only fine, healthy and delicious to eat but the fragrant Almond nut is also known for its ability to soften and smooth the skin, thus creating a firm and toned silhouette. L’OCCITANE throws nothing away of the Almond fruit each stage and part has its own benefits to our skin and body.

Almond extract – tightening

Almond proteins – smoothing

Almond oil – softening

Almond butter – moisturising

Almond milk – softening

Almond shells – exfoliating

Almond tree bud extract – toning & smoothing

L’OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrated & Supple Skin Oil is for body firming care, which I need them badly especially for thighs. I have cellulite too sigh… how to look slim & firm?

L’OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrate

Review: L’OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrate, RM214 for 200ml

I’m loving the whole Almond Collection scent, can’t get enough of them. They are so invigorating, sweet and delectable so this motivates me to apply the cream every day after my shower. The L’OCCITANE Almond Milk Concentrate has new formula with new complex with tightening walnut and Almond extracts helps protect skin elasticity and stimulate cell renewal. Combined with Almond proteins and silicium, it helps to visibly tighten and smooth the skin.

After using it for almost more than a month I can see the skin on my thighs are smoother, moist and less bumpy or bulges. I love the super moisturizing effect, even though the cream is quite thick and rich but it is not sticky and absorb very fast into skin. This deliciously fragrant silky cream helps nourish and visibly soften the skin while keeping it hydrated for 48 hours.

Application tips: Massage on whole body each morning and or evening, focusing on areas prone to slackening like thighs, stomach and bust. Use circular movements from bottom to top, moving upwards. I know most women are very careful when it comes to apply anything on their bust, this cream is safe to apply bust as well because it’s from natural ingredients.

L’OCCITANE Almond Supple Skin Oil

Review: L’OCCITANE Almond Supple Skin Oil, RM187 for 100ml

I love anything in oil based, like cleansing oil, face oil, body oil and etc. This L’OCCITANE Almond Supple Skin Oil also is their new formulation; consisting of more than 50% Almond oil, it is rich in Omega 6 and comes enriched with silicium and Muscat rose bush oil to help boost skin’s firmness. The golden elixir easily absorbed without leaving any greasy residue and absolutely smells so good.

This dry oil helps to fight against dryness, loss of elasticity and even stretch marks. Hence, it is perfect for pregnant women, both before and after pregnancy. After using it for almost a month together with the Milk Concentrate I can see the dry lines on my lower buttocks less visible and skin feels firmer. When I spray the oil on my skin and massage I can feel the warm sensation, it helps to improve blood circulation.

Application tips: Spray directly on skin and massage with upward circular motions. Concentrate on areas with skin slackening or stretch marks like thighs, buttocks, tummy and arms.

Overall, prefer the L’OCCITANE Almond Supple Skin Oil more than the Milk Concentrate partly is the easy application just spray and massage into the targeted area. As for the effectiveness, has to use the product together then can see more desirable results.

Besides these two products, there are more in the Almond Collection such as
