Grouchomarx — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 00:51:52 GMT

I ordered this and I’m not even sure why, someone on the tv must have convinced me. Anyway I’m unclear is this a product you wash with ot you use it after washing as a treatment? Thanks for your advice if you have used it before.

@Grouchomarx This is one of my favorite products, especially in the winter when skin gets so dry. Use it in the shower for bathing.

I don’t think there’s a wrong way to use it. I shower first, then pour some oil in my hands, rub my hands together and slather it all over me. I then do a very quick rinse. I agree, @SXMGirl, I love this stuff, and it smells wonderful.

I love L'occitane---but my fave is the body oil---my BFF sent me a care package when I was going thru chemo and I used that on myself at night and it was wonderful. Love the scent and it soothed my worried mind. Have the shower gel too. And the handcream is nice as well. I think I bought the big 16oz bag of the shower gel from Nordstrom for under $30

I love this shower oil. for my dry skin. I use mine as a shower cleanser but have also used as a hand soap.

I guess I have never washed my body with an oil before, so it seems weird to me to use only that and not regular soap before the oil. I will have to try it and see how it works.

It won't make your tub slippery either. For years I was afraid to try this because I thought I would be slipping and sliding in the tub.

Thanks that's good to know. I tried using that Josie Maran argan oil sugar scrub in my tub and it was a slippery death trap afterwards!

@Tricolor THANK YOU for this information!! I never purchased it because of the "oil" aspect. I don't need an accident due to slipping so knowing this, I will now buy the set the next time there is a TSV.

Hi, I loved this, one of my all time favs, the scent is wonderful. I've always used it in my bath or shower. unfortunately I had to give it up when I discovered L'Occitane was not Cruelty Free.

This is my long-time, all time favorite. I mix it with favorite shower gel, though, and it keeps my skin from getting too dry, although I swim almost daily.

Remember to get the refills, rather than the regular dispenser, after your first one. It's better for the environment and, of course, cheaper.

Use it like you would a shower gel. I pour it in my my hand, then transfer some to my other hand and slather it on wet skin in the shower. Great product.

That product does have sulfates in it as the cleansers: TIPA LAURETH SULFATE , LAURETH,3. They are second and third in the ingredient list. And I'd guess they are the reason no one is slipping and sliding around and hurting themselves in the shower while using it. There are normal sulfate shower gel components to it.

@skittles2

Thanks for the info about L'Occitane not being cruelty free. I didn't know this. I've been using their products for years. I'll have to change over to other brands now.

Thank you
