April 22, 2020 at 02:03PM There’s no denying that consumers are becoming more aware of their environmental impact. A report that was published by ZeroWaste in 2018 revealed that 120 billion units of packaging were being produced by the global cosmetics industry year on year. With statistics like that, it’s imperative and more important than ever that we consume beauty products mindfully.

Some might call it excessive, but for me, my body care regimen is a necessary daily ritual that helps me unwind before hitting the hay. By no means, however, am I easy to please when it comes to body products. Because I rely on my nightly routine as a means to de-stress, I am extremely fussy when it comes to the texture, scent and finish of the products that I use. I like my skin to feel comforted and nourished before slipping straight into bed. A drying body wash simply will not do, and don’t even get my started on the perils of a cloying body cream that refuses to sink in. It is because of this fussiness that when I find a body care treasure, you better believe I’m sticking with it. And that is exactly what I have done with L’Occitane’s Almond Collection.
