I’m just loving the smell of almonds lately. I mean, what’s not to love? They’re good for you to eat and they are highlighted in these two products.

$$$ - L’OCCITANE Almond Delicious Paste Exfoliating Butter ($42/7oz @ loccitane.com) – this is one of the thickest scrubs I’ve ever used, hence the word ‘Butter’ in the title, cuz they mean it! This one uses a combination of sugar and crushed almond shells to exfoliate nourishing oil like Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter.

$ - SIMPLE SUGARS Almond Body Scrub ($14/5oz, $19/8oz @ simplesugarscrub.com) - Oy, I could inhale this one every day! It smells like my favorite dessert, marzipan! And the exfoliators in it are a combo of sugar and bits of almonds as well as essential oils to moisturize the skin. No need for a lotion afterward.
