See that bunch of yellow flowers in the photo above? Well, those are called immortelle flowers (badass name, right?) Now, though they can't make you immortal (I'm pretty sure that'd be a much bigger story than a blog post! ha ha), they CAN replenish your skin, soothing some of the the wear and tear that you may have suffered through the years.
And, as always, L'Occitane (a line that creates some of the most superb hand creams and body oils/lotions ever) is finding the best ways to utilize the immortelle flowers' essential oils in their products. Their newly introduced anti-aging line, Immortelle 2008, includes a range of products that incorporate immortelle essential oils and are designed to even out skin tones and make your skin look radiant and healthy (meaning they attack any blotchy parts, reduce redness and acne scarring, etc.). The products also promote collagen synthesis and stimulate skin microcirculation and cell renewal (which means younger-looking skin... Wow, I truly sound like a commercial... Just need to add something about "easy and breezy"). The line includes: a Brightening Renewing Serum, which incorporates immortelle essential oils and is also packed with a Vitamin C derivative, raspberry extract and chamomile extract; a Brightening Smoothing Exfoliator to smoothen out skin and attack any impurities; and a moisturizing Brightening Toner, which contains spring water, a Vitamin C derivative, raspberry extract, and organic immortelle floral water.
Now look at those yellow blooms again -- don't they look even cooler now that you know what they can do?
Brightening Smoothing Exfoliator, $36; Brightening Renewing Serum, $50; Brightening Toner, $27 . All available at http://usa.loccitane.com
