When it comes to facial cleansers, I am usually a no-frills Cetaphil type of gal. I prefer to save my money, energy and excitement on moisturizers, sunscreens and eye creams — the big guns of skincare.
Every once in awhile, though, particularly when the weather warms up and I begin daydreaming of little towns in Provence where orange blossoms really do encircle home gardens and parks, I crave a little something more. And L’Occitane Extra Gentle Cleansing Milk is there for me, orange blossom water and all.
L'Occitane Extra Gentle Cleansing Milk
At $20, the milk cleanser is a bit pricier than drugstore brands, but worth it. It only takes one dab of the silky solution, which is laden with orange blossom water, Shea butter and something called linden flower, to effectively remove make-up and dirt. It’s also ideal for those with super-sensitive and dry skin, as you can bypass the use of water altogether and simply remove the product with a tissue.
But the best part, the absolute best part about most of L’Occitane’s products are their refreshing, invigorating and utterly relaxing scents. It’s like a shot of aromatheraphy in a bottle.
