A Little Goes A Long Way

Senior beauty editor Cristina Mueller is newly obsessed with this concentrated essential oil she sampled by L'Occitane. It's supposed to function as a moisture-boosting, repairing serum under your regular face cream, though as Cristina discovered, it's great all over too. She tried it in place of a body cream right before getting on a flight (no worries about FAA security hassles, it comes in a one-ounce bottle) and fell in love: "It sinks in instantly, lasts, and makes your skin feel incredibly smooth and soft." And lest you fear that using it her way means blowing the entire bottle in one go, Cristina is quick to point out that two or three pumps is enough for arms and legs.
