On Bastille Day (French Independence Day), we draw your attention to French skincare company Caudalíe”™s new Smooth & Glow Oil Elixir”¯($49/100ml) with firming prickly pear oil, hydrating grapeseed and argan oil and nourishing sweet almond and shea oil.  

The body oil, with a light texture and nongreasy finish, is designed to hydrate skin, with”¯81% of users seeing their skin hydrated. (It can be used in the hair as well.)”¯It”™s”¯also vegan and pregnancy/breastfeeding-safe with 100% natural-origin ingredients.”¯ 

Spray a few drops in the palm of your hand and gently massage them onto the body morning and evening. Apply the oil on slightly damp skin for an extra boost of hydration. 

The oil elixir ($49/100ml) is”¯available”¯at”¯US.Caudalie.com”¯and”¯Sephora.com.  

Just as grapeseed-rich Caudalíe was born in a Bordeaux vineyard, Santa Lucía Skincare was inspired by a coffee farm in biodiverse Costa Rica. Its popular”¯Purifying & Firming Body Exfoliant is made with eight active botanical ingredients to exfoliate, detox and increase blood circulation.
