Instant Hydration From Deep Within - L'occitane Angelica Skincare

I was glad to be part of the very first bloggers event organised by L'occitane Malaysia Last month. The event was held at The Apartment, KLCC, the place was so quiet in the morning, good choice for the event.

The event was to introduce the bloggers L'occitane Angelica Skincare range.

There are little things we can do for our skin that make a big difference. Every woman dreams of that morning glow – plump, dewy skin and a radiant complexion. And the key to that is HYDRATION.

Injecting moisture into our skin is not only an absolute necessity, it is also the key function of the new Angelica range, which combines organic angelica water and essential oil to rehydrate and revitalise the skin with long-lasting results.

The Provencal Angelica, also known as “Angel Grass天使草”, is a traditional plant from the Umbelliferae Family. It has a remarkable vitality due to its amazing retention structure to lock moisture for its rapid growth. Its tremendous self hydrating power enables it to grow to a height of a few meters in just a few days!

In year 2011, for the first time in the history, L’OCCITANE laboratory has brought together two extracts - Angelica Water and Essential Oil from the heart of the Angelica Roots in a powerful Angelica Complex, an excellent natural moisture reserve for the skin. This exclusive Patented Angelica Complex is clinically proven to increase the synthesis of aquaporin by 39%. Aquaporins are water channels that are essential for the skin to regulate water circulation and improve water balance of the skin as it transports water from dermis to the epidermis. In just one second, a single aquaporin can allow the passage of one billion molecules. That’s why the best way to moisturise your skin instantly is to enhance the synthesis of aquaporins.

In year 2012, L'occitane introduces 3 new, complementary products that are beautifully quick and easy to use:

Wai Yee aka Rane's review:

L'occitane Angelica Skincare has a very unique Angelica scent in every product. It gives us very natural and green feeling with it's unique scent. I feel fresh everytime I use the products.

Packaging wise, the green color tubes and bottle are transparent, so we could easily spotted and know if it's going to finish and restock before hand. Most of the tubes and bottles are sealed to maintain it's quality when imported from France.

Due to the warm weather recently, I always stay in the aircon room for a whole day to avoid the killing sun. My face has changed to dry skin from oily combination and I could see some deep wrinkles due to it. Although my skin is dehydrated and dry, it still continue create sebum that made me look dirty and ugly. As you can see from the picture, my face is so oily and shining after a day of hard work in the office.

However, after I cleansed my face with Angelica Cleansing Gel and Exfoliating Gel, my face is clean and oiliness immediately. Not that only, my skin texture is also smoother and color is more even. Noticed the redness on my face? It was due to the microcirculation during the exfoliating. The redness was gone after awhile.

I then follow with the Angelica Face Toner and Instant Hydration Mask for 3 minutes then wipe off with toner again, and then I apply Milky Lotion, follow by Hydration Cream on my delicate skin. Tada... my face is moisture and glowing immediately. When I checked my skin hydration level with the mini skin analyzer, the skin hydration level has been increased by 75%.

L'occitane Angelica Skincare is the most affordable in L'occitane Skincare range, and it's suitable for all skin type. Just a note to you, that the Angelica skincare product will be expired in 6 months after it''s opened. The rather short life span is due to it's organic and natural ingredients.

Let’s get your skin instantly invigorated with these astonishing hydration powers that will certainly make your skin smoother, radiant and supple. The 3 new Angelica complementary products are available at all L’OCCITANE Boutiques starting 1st September 2012.
