Beauty Spot: L'Occitane Creme Scintillante Luminous Body Cream

 

Olive oil: We use it in pasta sauces, drizzle it on heirloom tomatoes, brush it on bread. Now, as the European olive harvest reaches its peak, we can slather it on our skin for a rich and delicious sheen.

 

 Our top pick of the season is L'Occitane's new, limited edition Crème Scintillante, otherwise known as Luminous Body Cream. It's a silky, smooth lotion with a light olive scent, just enough to conjure up olive groves glowing in the October sunshine. It's made with real olive butter, olive oil and organic olive tree leaf extract.

Plus, it's paraben free and leaves our skin slightly shimmery — as if we just spent hours in the field picking olives off trees.

$48 for 240 millilitres; available Nov. 12 at L'Occitane stores nationwide. Visit www.loccitane.ca
or call 1-877-212-0238 to order.
