What took me so long to discover in-shower oil body cleansers? No matter. I know about them now.
As do my favourite oil facial cleansers, L’Occitane en Provence shower oils ($24 CAN/$22 US) lather up on damp skin and rinse off cleanly to leave skin soft and the tub — er — un-slippy.
I’m partial to L’Occitane’s Grape Shower Oil. A blend of grape-seed and sweet-almond oils, it’s a tad lighter in consistency than the brand’s Almond Shower Oil, which I like, too — it’s just this one has a more delicate, less sugary fragrance. Both leave skin lightly moisturized post shower; body lotion on still-damp skin seals the soft in. Nice for this not-nice, winter-itchy time of year.
Seems like a good mix of oil and water to me. I’m fairly certain Clive-O and Daniel-C will agree.

Why can’t you just GIVE AWAY this stuff? :P It sounds Lush!!
Thanks so much for your comment, Sophia! In fact it was the Almond Shower Oil that led me to the Grape. I tried the Almond at a friend’s and liked it immensely (I actually mentioned it in a story I wrote for our Metro news; the piece ran nationally: http://tinyurl.com/6y2wsq). When I found the Grape, I fell in love — the fragrance makes me smile in the mornings :-)
And boy, I hear you, Susan! Makes a great gift, actually. Start dropping hints!
