L'Occitane en Provence Angelica Instant Hydration Face Mask

$36, L'Occitane

Hello, hydration! L’Occitane en Provence’s Angelica Instant Hydration Mask is an extremely refreshing gel-like face mask that feels so soft when you massage it on, it practically melts into your skin. The French brand’s experts, who concoct the exquisite face-, body-, bath-, fragrance- and hair-care products in their top-of-the-line laboratories in the South of France, attribute the product’s hydrating formula to a complex blend of organic angelica essential oil and angelica water—extracted and distilled from the root of the slender, furry leafed angelica plant. Innovative, yes, but that’s what founder Olivier Baussan is all about. Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean cultures, the ingenious provençial man has been developing natural skincare and perfume since the company’s debut in 1976.
