I am officially obsessed. L'Occitane en Provence hand creams are by far the best I've encountered. Ever since getting my first tube a few months ago, they have been a staple for me. I love the small 1 oz tubes for my car, purse, gym bag, desk...and so on. They're also perfect for gifting. Who doesn't need an effective hand cream in the winter?






The Sephora exclusive Hand Indulgence set includes three 1oz tubes of L'Occitane's 20% Shea butter hand cremes. The scents are Date Bouquet, Mango Flower, and Rose Flower. I love them all because they're not overbearing, but they do linger for a bit. These absorb super quickly and leave my hands feeling soft and moisturized for hours.



There are two formulations of the hand creme - regular and Shea. The Shea creams are thicker and last longer on my hands, but the regular formulation is great too.

Regular vs. Shea texture

Here's a comparison of Pivoine Flora (a must have!) and Shea butter hand creams. Hopefully you can see the difference in texture.



L'Occitane Hand Indulgence set retails for $28 and is available at Sephora.com.
