L'OCCITANE Pure Shea Butter Review! Brilliant For Dry Skin!

My first beauty product review is about L’occitane Pure Shea Butter.

First of all, if you have dry, flaky skin on your face like me, or maybe on your body, (I only use it on my face so I can’t tell you about using it on your arms and legs.) I would definitely recommend trying this out!

If you are thinking of using this product, I wouldn’t use it during the day if you’re going out or just before applying makeup because it is pretty greasy, which you would expect. Personally I like to use it at night just before I go to bed and throughout the day when I’m staying at home not doing a lot. (In other words when I have lazy pyjama days, which are nearly every day lately, hehe.)

Another great thing about this skin care product is that it is 100% pure Shea butter enriched with vitamin E and 100% natural so there are no other ingredients or harsh chemicals in it that could irritate the skin. Woo!

The texture of it is quite thick and hard to apply, so warm it in between your fingers first. Just a helpful tip that I thought I would add in. J

The one thing about it that can put you off buying it is the price. From the official L’occitane website/shop it is £28.00 for 150ml, which is the big one. But if you’re not entirely sure whether you’ll like it or if it will work on your skin, they do a travel size version which is £8.50 for 10ml. It’s still pretty expensive for the travel size one, but if you’re unsure I would recommend buying that one first as if you don’t like it you have only spent £8.50 instead of £28.00 on something that doesn’t work for your skin. If it works, it is worth the money!

On the back of the tin it says – This irreplaceable beauty balm helps to nourish, protect, soften and regenerate dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin. Enriched with antioxidant vitamin E. And that isn’t a lie, it really does do all of those things, so there is nothing about the product that would stop me recommending it to my friends, family and everyone reading this. I recommend this to anyone who is struggling the find a product that helps their dry skin.

I don’t really have a specific theme for my blog yet (beauty, fashion etc.) Although I would like it to have one eventually, I just haven’t decided what yet. So for now if you want to see something on my blog, tweet me @emzz_direction (I’ve had this twitter for a while and I created it during an obsession with One Direction, that’s why it has "direction" in it if you’re wondering the reason behind that.)
