How to Firm & Refine Your Body Skin with Almond Body Care?
Almond is well-known for it's firming and softening properties. These Provençal fruits are not only delicious to taste, yet are excellent at deeply nourishing the skin. We have harnessed the exceptional active proteins and ingredients of Almond from the South of France and integrated it into our body treatments, making skin feel firmer, softer and more nourished. L’OCCITANE has filed two important patents for almond proteins and almond and rose buds.
Also, all of our Almond Collection products contain almond oil, which is rich in antioxidants, omega 9 and fatty acids, which can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness. Learn in this blog how each of our Almond body products and how to use them to help you achieve a firmer skin.

The Top 5 Rules For Firmer Skin
- Massage your body: focus on your tummy, bottom and thighs. Always combine your firming body product with good massage techniques. We recommend using our Body Gua Sha Massage Tool to maximise results.
- Use a body scrub to eliminate dead cells and impurities.
- Eat fat-burning ingredients: courgette, apple, lemon, green tea, pepper, pineapple, broccoli, etc.
- Use a refining body gel to diminish the appearance of cellulite.
- Use a smoothing, light-textured foot cream to have smoother skin and lighter-feeling legs.
