The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 23 January 2023 Leave a Comment

Need something a little more intense than lavender to help you relax? L'Occitane's new Lavender CBD collection might help. "Put self-care at the top of your new year's resolutions with our Lavender CBD collection. The expertly blended body care formula of CBD Isolate derived from hemp, with Provençal lavender, provides calm and relaxation when you need it most." Shown in the limited edition Relaxing Bi-Phase Body Milk ("Enriched with the relaxing aromatherapy benefits of AOP Lavender and CBD essential oils, this body milk spray offers double benefits: it intensely moisturises and helps to soothe the skin. The initial milk emulsion provides instant moisture while the aquatic phase provides a soothing and comforting sensation"), €29 for 250 ml at L'Occitane in Ireland.

Clinique’s iconic citrus-floral blend doesn’t just smell vibrant—it’s engineered to make you feel vibrant whenever you get a whiff.

Infused with floral monoi (A.K.A. gardenia) and musky sandalwood for a relaxing and calming aroma and skin-nourishing ingredients." $15 for 142 ml at Ulta.
