Stuff We Love: Our Moisturizer Secrets

by Sharan Harper

Spring is almost here again, and it'll soon be time for us to throw the winter blues over our shoulders, pack away the warm woollies and bring our bodies out from under wraps. Bare arms and legs can go for an outing. What? You think your skin isn't ready for prime time? Don't worry. Moisturizers were created to make it beautiful. Whatever the skin's needs ‑- holding on to its natural lipid protection or replacing lost moisture ‑- there are products out there that will hydrate, nourish and soothe it. So let's swing into the season of renewal with some of the moisturizers we love.

Utterly Butterly Luscious

Living up to its name, L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream ($36) is a luxurious treat. Lightly whipped so it's incredibly creamy, this buttery moisturizer is one-fourth shea butter. It also contains a blend of natural oils, extracts and vitamin E, providing a creamy protective shield for the skin. It goes on evenly and is absorbed quickly, making the driest skin soft, supple and free of greasy residue. Dry patches disappear with the first use, and after that, the skin's condition just gets better and better. This cream, delicately scented with ylang-ylang and jasmine, keeps your skin feeling beautiful throughout the day. Available at L'Occitane.com.
