L'OCCITANE Amande Collection

I've always been intrigued by luxurious skin care products. My fascination deepened after trying creme de la Mer for the first time in my mid 20s. Since then, I've gone on to try products from various luxury brands for face, neck, and décolletage. And it eventually led way to body care products. I've had my share of hits and misses from various top brands, but when it comes to body skin care, l'Occitane is where I made most re-purchases closely followed by Annick Goutal. Here's a review of my favorite l'Occitane body skin care products.

Here are couple of all my favorite sun protection products that are safe for children (over 6 months) and sensitive skin (not mentioned in this video):
♡Aveeno Baby SPF 50 broad spectrum (I like the one that comes in a stick form which makes application/re-application easier especially on kids)
♡Babo Botanical Clear Zinc SPF 30 broad spectrum
