Today was the first morning I felt the cold; my hands are so dry the word gloves even entered my mind. So, it was perfect timing for L’Occitane’s new autumn launch to land on my desk. It’s a super cute tin filled with 95% shea butter, bees wax and vitamin E and it comes in three scents: Vineyard Rose, Orange Honey and Apricot Flower. You can use this hydrating balm on your lips, elbows, hands and anywhere else that dries out with the cold.  I’ll be using it on my lips and nose, but buying my favourite L’Occitane hand cream for an added boost of moisture when it gets really cold. It leaves my hands soft and moisturised for hours and most importantly doesn’t leave an annoying greasy residue.

Shea Butter tin, £10 for 30ml; hand cream, £7 for 30ml. Click here to visit the website...
